Alex Heigl's solo guitar work fuses the pre-war country blues style of fingerpicking and its inheritors like John Fahey with complex spatial effects and electronics like synthesizers and drum machines. For this performance, his original compositions will be performed alongside audio and visual items from the Works Progress Administration's efforts to document the folk music of Northern California over 100 years ago.

"The music of pianist and composer Motoko Honda is to mainstream jazz what Brahms’s music was to the neatly packaged forms of the Classical period.”
— Phillip Greenlief, Art Forum, Live at California Jazz Conservatory


“The audience of young lovers and experienced culture seekers hardly moved a muscle for an hour and a half. Apparently we can still concentrate when the occasion demands it.”
— Greg Burk, Metal Jazz, Live at Hammer Museum, Los Angeles

Motoko Honda’s Simple Excesses Quartet brings together four of Northern California’s most versatile and innovative musicians—Honda (pianist-composer), Cory Wright (multi-woodwinds), Jordan Glenn (drums), and Matt Small (bass)—in a bold and imaginative blend of classical chamber music, jazz, free jazz, and experimental sound. Their repertoire, built from intimately crafted compositions, unifies these diverse traditions into dynamic, often surprising musical journeys. With nuanced interplay, shifting textures, and spontaneous improvisations, their performances are as captivating for the performers as they are for the audience—like a soaring flight through ever-changing sonic landscapes.

SILVER MANTIS



Silver Mantis is a 50 minute electro-acoustic presentation, performed with software and sampling, theremin and prepared piano. It is an immersive multi channel composition which allows for an elastic performance.

After my recent densely structured work with chamber ensembles, the inspiration behind Silver Mantis was to create a work incorporating live re-composition and improvisation into its structure, one which could expand and contract fluidly with flow and spontanaeity from pre-ordained building blocks of sound.

Incorporating musique concrète and electronic sound along with live instrumentation, the composition is dynamic, cinematic and diverse with stylistic left-turns, creating a tension between time and anxiety.

I perform it with a projection created exclusively for the project by acclaimed Swedish visual artist Sten Backman.

Silver Mantis has been performed at Roulette Intermedia in NYC, Cafe Oto in London, 2220 in Los Angeles, Colchester Arts Center UK, Melbourne Recital Center, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Timacua Arts Foundation in Orlando, Elastic Arts in Chicago and elsewhere.
