6604 San Pablo Ave, Oakland, CA 94608 Hours: Thursday-Sunday 12-6pm
Experimental Music Series Starting Tuesday February 24th, 8pm
New Experimental Music Series at The Compound Gallery!
Tuesday, February 24th 8-10pm
The Lords of Outland - Rent Romus, Ray Schaffer, C.J. Borosque, Philip Everett 8pm
The Spirit Moves Us - Bob Marsh, Spirit, Jim Ryan 9:00 pm
The Compound Gallery, jimzeen productions , and Outsound Presents are sponsoring a new experimental music series that begins on February 24th at 8pm.
Concerts will take place at The Compound Gallery, 6604 San Pablo Avenue, Oakland 94608, California at about 8:00 pm on the fourth Tuesday of the month through May 2009. If all goes well the concerts may continue throughout the year. The idea is to present unfamiliar, original, weird, and astonishing approaches to musical performance as art rather than entertainment (this is not to deny that the shows might be entertaining). Music, the most conservative of the arts, gets short shrift when moving beyond mind-numbing clichés requiring no special attention from the listener. This series will offer sounds you have not yet heard. Although there is no admission charge, we ask for contributions. Ten dollars is suggested give what you can, no one turned away -- eighty percent goes to the musicians, the rest is for expenses. There is parking on 66th St. next to the Gallery which is also accessible from downtown Oakland and Berkeley by the 72 bus line.
The first Concert on Tuesday 2/24/09 features:
Rent Romus' Lords of Outland : broke from its 'straight-ahead' straight jacket in 1993 and through a series of transmogrifications morphed into something some people call "Free Jazz Black Metal." Culture of Pain and You Can Sleep When You're Dead! are recorded results of this alchemy. You can find these life-threatening CDs on www.edgetonerecords.com. The 'Lords' feature Rent's saxophone mastery and a current line-up of sonically disturbed sound artists = CJ Borosque screaming electronic devices, Philip Everett heinous percussion, and Ray Schaeffer evil e-bass.
The Spirit Moves Us : a recently formed trio of veteran improvisers flowing to the East Bay from the mid-west (Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, & St. Paul) through r&b, jazz, and avant experimental groups. Eastbania has been home to them for many years now, and they have worked together frequently in various configurations. Spirit on percussion is considered by local and national aficionados as an original master of the genre. Bob Marsh on cello has brought the instrument to an awesome freshness and versatility, and Jim Ryan has performed regularly throughout the country and locally with his Forward Energy bands www.myspace.com/forwardenergy . For CDs by these players, go to edgetonerecords.com
