Lucky Dragons
lucky dragons are about the birthing of new and temporary creatures--equal-power situations in which audience members cooperate amongst themselves, building up fragile networks held together by such light things as skin contact, unfamiliar language, temporary logic, the spirit of celebration, and things that work but you don't know why. There have been hundreds of these simple yet shifting and unpredictable instances--with audiences ranging from the intense intimacy of one person to the public spectacle of thousands of people. At the heart of it all is playing together--building up social collectivities, re-engaging the wonder and impossibility of technological presence. It sounds--and looks--like simple and ancient patterns coming together and falling apart in a sincere attempt to let wires and screens and words become clear and crystal. www.myspace.com/luckydragons

Joe Grimm
Since 2008 Joe Grimm has been working at the border of experimental sound and cinema, using modified 16mm projectors and hand-built circuitry to make music that is heavy as metal and light as light. Flickers trespass the retinal threshold of persistence of vision, modulating sound in maze-like networks of electrical feedback to create an experience where the physicality of light and sound collides with the body's sensory and psychological faculties. Inappropriate for those with photosensitive epilepsy. www.myspace.com/thewindupbird

Lichens
Lichens is Rob Lowe's personal vehicle, created for performance and recording solo and with collaborators. Lichens has performed in Chicago, beginning at the Arthur magazine sponsored Million Tongues Festival in summer 2004 and New York solo and in duos. Lichens live is a transfixing experience, looping wordless vocals into curtains of drone. Lowe adds acoustic and electric guitars, percussion and other effects to create alternately thick and delicate works. Lowe has recorded and released a Lichens CD-R on his own, each hand assembled and released in a limited edition. Lichens contributed a track to the One Bright Sunny Day compilation CD, the debut releases from the Chicago-based IC Recordings label. Further touring is planned. In addition to the release of The Psychic Nature of Being (which is being released on vinyl by the estimable folk/psych/heavy imprint Holy Mountain) Chocolate Industries is releasing a limited edition 7 inch single by Lichens packaged inside a book of art Lowe curated with contributions by Jon Beasley, Justin Schaeffer, Devendra Banhart and others. http://www.kranky.net/artists/lichens.html

GINO ROBAIR'S "I, NORTON"

Featuring participants of Gino Robair's Group Improvisation Workshop

"At the request of the citizens of these United States, I, Joshua Norton declare myself Emperor."

So began the proclamation by which Joshua Norton, on September 17, 1859, became Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. The first of many proclamations, it was published nearly 10 years after Norton landed in San Francisco to make his fortune from the Gold Rush. During his 20-year reign, Norton I decreed bridges be built between Oakland and San Francisco, enjoyed free passage by rail and ship, printed and used his own money, and corresponded with kings, queens, and presidents. Among the literary works to immortalize Norton I are Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Wrecker. Yet few people remember the one and only Emperor of the United States.

I, Norton was created as a kit that may be performed by any number of people and assembled in a unique way for each performance. The closest thing to a libretto are the writings attributed to Norton I, as well as mocking "false decrees" published by contemporary newspapers to cash in on the Emperor's notoriety. The words, letters, rhythms, and structure of the texts are prepared in a variety of ways and used as source material by each performer.

I, Norton has been performed in San Francisco and Oakland, California; Seattle, Washington; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Miami, Florida; St Louis, Missouri; Tokyo, Japan; and Milan and Palermo, Italy. In addition, the ROVA Saxophone Quartet has performed a reduced version of the piece across Europe and North America.
