"What happens when you take cinema out of the movie theater, wrench the
reel off the projector and start editing the images and sound live, in
front of the audience? LIVE CINEMA!" (Holly Willis, New Digital Cinema:
Reinventing the Moving Image) The mysterious multi-media ensemble viDEO
sAVant has travelled the world presenting its own brand of live
improvisational cinema since 1990. This dynamic performance will feature
a synthesis of sound and moving images with elements produced and mixed
on the spot in a process of live interaction between projectionist and
musician, yielding fluid results, shifting and varied, never the same
twice. www.videosavant.org.

21 Grand and The Lab present the Moe!kestra 10th Anniversary.
Moe!kestra is the large ensemble/orchestra project of Bay Area
experimental musician, Moe! Staiano, which began at Berkeley's
Beanbenders' series in 1997. For this concert, Staiano will conduct two
of his compositions: the premiere performance of Piece No. 9: When
Terrie Had Six and his first large orchestra composition, Piece No. 1:
Death of A Piano. The orchestra of approximately 60 Bay Area musicians
includes both traditional and non-traditional instrumentation: multiples
of electric guitars, electric bass, drums, percussion arsenal, strings
(violin, viola, cello and contrabass), clarinets (including bass
clarinet), saxophones, theremin, trombones and electronics. Piece No. 1:
Death of A Piano concludes with the destruction of a more-or-less
unplayable upright piano with a functional soundboard, a finale that
adds to the spectacular nature of the work. Staiano�s Moe!kestra
compositions are influenced by the works of Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham
and John Zorn, commingling the genres of 20th Classical music, jazz and
rock. A Q&A with Moe! Staiano precedes the performance.
The new Moe!kestra CD "Two Rooms of Uranium in 83 Markers" (Edgetone
Records) will be for sale at the show.
Co-sponsored by KFJC-FM, with funding from Meet the Composer's Creative
Connections program.
