Hello list, I have a California mini-tour coming up next week, in three stages: 1) The Solo Gig Thursday, August 22 509 Cultural Center 509 Ellis Street (between Leavenworth and Hyde Streets) San Francisco, CA $6-$10 Sliding Scale This is an installment of the Luggage Store Gallery Creative Music Thursdays series. Please note that the gig is at the 509 Cultural Center, and NOT the "regular" Luggage Store localle. I'll be doing my solo looping thing at 9:00 PM, with the Che Guevarra Memorial Marching (and Stationary) Accordian Band (!) opening the show at 8:00. 2) Bay Area Echoplex Open Session Saturday, August 24 3150 Adeline St., Oakland, CA 2:00 PM until 6:00 - ish (or whenever everyone leaves) $5 - $10 suggested donation A clinic, a hang, an open forum, and maybe more, hosted by Kim Flint. The idea is for any interested parties to show up, and we'll bat around ideas, answer questions, demonstrate approaches, attempt to demystify any mystification which may exist, and basically compare notes on the EDP and looping in general. If anyone's interested in bringing their own EDP and instrument(s) along to do some playing and get some specific feedback/critiques/praise/suggestions from folks there, I think that'd be great. If you want to play but doesn't have your own speaker enclosures, let Kim know so that he can see about procuring a PA for the day. 3) Los Angeles American Composer's Forum Tech Salon, with Richard Zvonar, Peter Freeman, Carl Stone, and myself Sunday, August 25 Rocco's (http://www.roccoinla.com/) 6320 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood, CA 2:00 PM An event very graciously organized by Dr. Richard Zvonar, this will be a combination clinic/performance/panel discussion featuring Richard discussing the history of looping, myself presenting the EDP, Peter Freeman showcasing the Repeater and PCM 80, and laptop guru Carl Stone discussing Max/MSP. Exactly where any of this will fall along the performance/clinic/discussion axis is open to each participant... Looking forward to seeing some of you next week! --Andre LaFosse http://www.altruistmusic.com
