anti-social music
unleashing a new generation of composers and performers upon chamber music. heh.
dirty sock funtime band
songs for kids - our 4th video on nickelodean/noggin just debuted on "jack's big music show." want to see me dressed up as a doctor/mad scientist, jumping up and down, singing, and playing clarinet? right.
world/inferno friendship society
somehow i've found myself mixed up in this situation... think 9-piece circus punk. what?
no net trio - with eyal maoz and lukas ligeti
3 bandleaders, composers, and incorrigible improvisors come together for in the No Net Trio. An all-improvised band in which shrieking woodwinds meet guitar fuzz and pounding drums; or, quiet melodies erupt amidst the soft clang of gongs; or, grooves insinuate themselves against complex pads.... no 2 performances are the same.
fire in july
cellist/vocalist jody redhage's wonderful compositions in an innovative band of her playing cello and singing along with myself playing clarinet/bass clarinet with alan ferber (trombone) and fred kennedy (drums).
signal
great new chamber orchestra conducted by brad lubman that makes its formal debut in 2008.
bang on a can summer festival
i'm on faculty here, and i love it. it's the place to go for emerging composers and performers who are interested in a life of boundary-free music. i run a composers' improvisation class and also get to perform with a ton of great instrumentalists from around the world.
cantaloupe music
the record label for gutbucket (in the us/uk), bang on a can, ethel, so percussion, and loads more.
i managed this label from its inception (2001) until 2006.
bang on a can all-stars
when i'm lucky i get to sub for evan ziporyn with these guys. *the* band for post-classical rock-meets-chamber music sounds.
alarm will sound
i'm there when they need me. i also wrote an arrangement for their aphex twin record which is out on cantaloupe and they'll be touring in 2007-2008.
so percussion
these guys are serious about great performances - and their reputation is big enough that sometimes people ask them to play pieces that require a clarinet or saxophone player. enter me.
american composers orchestra
a major highlight of 2007 was writing and performing a piece with them in the fall. i wrote a piece called "wait your turn" for them + gutbucket; it was an amazing week of music .... i was in pretty heady company, joined by steve coleman, susie ibarra, and scott johnson who all wrote new pieces for the occasion.
ethel
*the* string quartet that gutbucket plays with and writes for in our octet project; they are loud, amplified, and kickass.
m shanghai string band
picture a sweaty basement in williamsburg with 11 string instruments on stage, guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles, oh and spoons and washboards and.... these guys do some *old* covers and a load of great new tunes also. sometimes i try to see if my old wooden clarinet will fit with their older wooden string instruments. sometimes it even works! i think i'm going to be on their new CD coming soon ....
conn-selmer and selmer paris
i endorse selmer clarinets and saxophones. i just took a trip to paris to get a new bass clarinet from them. i love it!
sibelius software
sponsors gutbucket. i use sibelius 5.1.
