Outsound Presents
Full Moon Concerts - Blood Moon
8 pm: A. C. Way and James Kaiser
9 pm: Past-Present-Future: Myles Boisen, Lisa Mezzacappa, and John Hanes

THE PROGRAM:

8 PM: Tonight’s first Blood Moon performance will be a live reworking of a piece first performed by Way and Kaiser five years ago, which at the time involved minimal electronics, voice, metals and much atmosphere. This piece will project the mental and emotional state of two artists who share a heavily water and moon influenced birth sign. Inspired by and recorded originally on a blood moon, now performed live on another years later, this marks the completion of a cycle.

INTERMISSION

9 PM: Past-Present-Future will premiere a Blood Moon Suite composed for the occasion.


PERFORMER BIOS:

Andy C. Way is an Oakland based sound artist who has been working in "experimental
music" for the last decade. He works primarily with processed sound, in an attempt
to reduce his music to the most instinctual and emotional level. His focus tends to
his many goups (Maleficia, French Radio, NF Orchest, Carrion, Cannis Lupus, Rostro
Negro, Riqis ect..) but solo performances under the moniker A.C.Way do occur.

James Kaiser is a Berkeley transplanted sound artist active since moving here in 1997, with works preceding that time from both Kansas City and New Orleans. Solo works are usually presented under the moniker 'petit mal', and collaborations with like minded cohorts (A.C.Way, Angela Hsu, Bruce Anderson, 'Thomas Carnacki', the 'Zenflesh Collective') are many. Typical instrumentation involves contact mics, a bowed bicycle wheel, shortwave and tape loops.

Myles Boisen is a guitarist, composer, improvisor, and record producer/engineer, best known around the Bay Area for his twin-necked twanging in The Splatter Trio, as well as musical exploits with The Club Foot Orchestra. Over the past two decades Myles has performed or recorded with John Zorn, Tom Waits, Fred Frith, Rova Saxophone Quartet, John Tchicai, Nina Hagen, Eugene Chadbourne, Vinny Golia, Myra Melford, Glenn Spearman, Ralph Carney, and his own "Guitarspeak" and "Past-Present-Future" ensembles. In collaboration with guitarists Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser, Elliott Sharp, Robert Fripp and others, he has developed a potent musical language that combines a wealth of traditional and contemporary styles, focusing particularly on prepared guitar technique, sparse blues soundscapes and improvisation.
