May 6, 2008 | Concert: Sparks - Peter Evans (US) - trumpet + Tom Blancarte (US) - bass with Joel Ryan (NL) - computer

STEIM Date: May 6, 2008

In a post-Tonic / post-Knitting Factory New York, there seems to be a new emerging scene of exciting improvised and experimental music. These younger musicians are virtuosic and versatile with their instruments, and remind us how this city has always bred amazing artists despite its hostile environment. If you listen to Evans` music it`s hard not to be impressed by his playing. His duo with Blancarte is hyperactive and bursting with energy. They will be working in the STEIM studios for a couple of days with Joel Ryan, concluding in this special concert. It will be interesting to see how our own wizard of live processing will channel their energy and create another sound dimension.

SPARKS
Sparks (Peter Evans and Tom Blancarte) has been playing together since 2005. From the beginning of the formation of the duo, they have been constantly working to push their own boundaries of density and speed of interaction while freely improvising. They have performed extensively in New York City and the U.S., and in 2008 will embark on their second tour of Europe. Since their formation the duo has performed both as a self-contained unit and as a part of larger groups, including performances with Nate Wooley, Peter Brotzmann, Han Bennink and Lisle Ellis. Their first (self-titled) CD has just been released by Creative Sources. Later in 2008 they hope to assemble a Sparks Orchestra....

Peter Evans
Peter Evans has been a member of the New York musical community since 2003, when he moved to the city after graduating Oberlin Conservatory. Peter currently works in a wide variety of areas, including solo performance, chamber orchestras, performance art, free improvised settings, electro-acoustic music and composition. As a performer, Evans has been working to break through the technical barriers of his instrument and enjoys playing with steady configurations of improvisers; each band explores a specific concept or style as much as possible. Current bands include the Peter Evans Quartet (with Brandon Seabrook, Tom Blancarte, & Kevin Shea), Moppa Elliott`s terrorist bebop band Mostly Other People Do the Killing, the hyperactive free-improvisation duo Sparks (with Tom Blancarte), the free-jazz quintet Carnivalskin (with Klaus Kugel and Bruce Eisenbeil), the Language Of with Charles Evans, duos with trumpeter Nate Wooley and saxophonist Dave Reminick, the New York Trumpet Ensemble, as well as a sustained interest in solo performance.

He plays in the improvising trio Totem with Bruce Eisenbeil and Andrew Drury, Dave Smith`s Who Put The Bad Mouth On Me, the Peter Evans Quartet and in various ad hoc combinations.

June 17, 2008 | Workshop: Orientation Workshop (on invitation only) by: Robert van Heumen Frank Baldé Daniel Schorno Michel Waisvisz Takuro Mizuta

STEIM (Start) date: June 17, 2008
Lecturer(s): Robert van Heumen Frank Baldé Daniel Schorno Michel Waisvisz Takuro Mizuta

Orientation workshops are held roughly once every 2 months, and last one week (Monday through Monday - not on Fri/Sat/Sun). 3 Or 4 persons are selected to study and explore the possible technical and artistic means available at STEIM for a potential future project (f.e. a compositional work or a personal electronic instrument). This will be achieved partly through lectures by the educational department of STEIM, partly through cooperation between the participants, and partly through (informal) contact with the STEIM staff regarding specific requirements and wishes of each participant. During this week, the participants will have access to 3 ateliers (non-soundproof spaces for study and research) and 1 studio (soundproof - for lectures, recordings, (post-)production and higher-volume activities). Lodging will be provided in our simple self-catered guesthouse. Both workspace and lodging are offered free of charge. STEIM does not cover travel and food.

This workshop will be from 17 - 23 June 2008.
