 , analog synths \n_____________________________________\nOpensound is a mo
 nthly concert series that explores improvised and experimental music\, bri
 nging artists from disparate backgrounds together for unique events in Som
 erville MA. The process of improvisation combines the distinctive voices o
 f its individual performers. The music that results is often surprising\, 
 unconventional and dynamic. It s not uncommon to hear music made of electr
 onic crackles\, noisy multi-phonics\, gurgling\, hissing\, quiet vocalized
  gibberish\, atonal noodling\, bowed metal\, blowing sounds\, post-everyth
 ing harmony\, and a thousand shades of hullabaloo.\nYou may also see video
  and dance cohabitating with buzzes\, clicks\, drones\, wooshes\, and blee
 ps in a bizarre galaxy of pitch and spectra!\n____________________________
 ___________\nProgram Notes and Bios\n\nWinner of the 2006-2007 Rome Prize 
 and the 2010-2011 Berlin Prize\, Ken Ueno\, is a composer\, vocalist\, imp
 roviser\, and cross-disciplinary artist. His music coalesces diverse influ
 ences into a democratic sonic landscape. In addition to Heavy Metal sub-to
 ne singing and Tuvan throat singing\, he is also informed by European avan
 t-garde instrumental techniques\, American experimentalism\, and sawari or
  beautiful noise\, an aesthetic in traditional Japanese music. Ken's artis
 tic mission is to champion sounds that have been overlooked or denied so t
 hat audiences reevaluate their musical potential. \n\nCollide-O-Scope Musi
 c is a contemporary music collective with a focus on presenting a diverse 
 spectrum of music and visual media\, emphasizing the integral connection b
 etween emerging technologies and the formation of new aesthetic environmen
 ts.\nBebe Beard earned her BFA in 1976\, her MFA from Mass College of Art'
 s Studio for Interrelated Media in 1996. In recent years she has received 
 grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, St Botolph's Club Art Fou
 ndation and the Gottlieb Foundation Emergency Assistance\; held residencie
 s at Djerassi Resident Artists Program\, MacDowell Colony and the Experime
 ntal Television Center in Owego\, NY.  She has exhibited in a wide variety
  of venues &ndash\; alternative spaces\, galleries\, and theaters national
 ly and internationally.\n\nWalter Wright is a video artist\, teaches studi
 o art at Lasell College\, and is the Director of 119 Gallery. One of the f
 irst video animators\, he worked at Computer Image Corporation in the 1970
 's animating letters and words for The Electric Company. He was an Associa
 te Director at the Kitchen. He left NYC to join the Experimental Televsion
  Center where he pioneered video performance touring with the Paik/Abe Vid
 eo Synthesizer. In the 1980's he taught video art\, sound art and computer
  graphics at William James College and Virginia Commonwealth University. I
 n the 1990's he worked as a software engineer for Truevision. \n\nMulti-re
 edist Steve Norton is best known for his work with the 1990s Boston-based 
 band Debris. Debris was an ambitious\, exuberant\, puzzling band that puzz
 led together serialism\, free jazz and funk. Their music is in equal measu
 re exhilarating and exhausting. Recent projects include the duck-call trio
 \, Duck That\, with Joshua Jefferson and Angela Sawyer\; Matt Samolis' Met
 al and Glass Ensemble\; a trio-without-name performing a stunning renditio
 n of Steve Lacy's 'Tips\,' with Noell Dorsey on voice and Samolis on flute
 \; and a duo with Vic Rawlings\, Symptomatic.\n\nMatt Samolis has been wor
 king in sonic and visual mediums since 1987. He began studying flute\, and
  later composition and tenor banjo. He has worked with ensembles at New En
 gland Conservatory\, Brandeis University\, Berklee\, and Tufts\, as well a
 s Open Hand Theatre\, Pilgrim Research Collaborative\, Mobius\, Roy Hart T
 heatre\, and numerous other projects. Currently\, his primary focus is as 
 a composer\, and as flutist with various local performance groups and his 
 drone alliance\, The Metal & Glass Ensemble. \n\nGregory Oakes is one of t
 he most exciting and energetic clarinetists of his generation. From his Ca
 rnegie Hall debut with members of Ensemble Intercontemporain and Pierre Bo
 ulez to his performances as a member of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra\, 
 Mr. Oakes has been praised by critics for his &ldquo\;outstanding performa
 nce&rdquo\; (New York Times) and &ldquo\;jazzy flourishes&rdquo\;(Denver P
 ost). American Record Guide says &ldquo\;Oakes is the rare player who has 
 both excellent classical training and a mastery of the otherworldly proced
 ures demanded by non-traditional repertoire\,&rdquo\; and Fanfare Magazine
  lauds the &ldquo\;formidable technical armamentarium at his command.&rdqu
