7:00 - 8:30 PM
Municipal Theater of Corfu

The World Forum for Acoustic Ecology hosts a collaborative, hybrid lecture-performance, entitled “Conversation, Improvisation, and Locality,” by Eric Leonardson (Faculty, Sound SAIC), Jay Needham (Faculty, Radio-Television, SIU, Carbondale), and Sabine Breitsameter (Faculty of Media, Hochschule Darmstadt, Germany).
Eric Leonardson joins Berlin-based turntablist/sound artist Ignaz Schick, and many others, performing in two nights of experimental music @ Enemy. Doors open at 8:00 p.m. Music starts at 9:00 p.m.
Seeded Plain is Bryan Day (Decorah, Iowa) and Jay Kreimer (Lincoln, Nebraska), two experimental instrument makers who have been performing with new and unusual sounds on instruments made from everyday objects and materials. Their Entry Codes CD on Creative Sources (Portugal) was described as “playfully cranky and enjoyable…well worth the listen.” See their March 2011 Mini-Tour schedule here.
Also on the bill:
Aaron Zarzutski + Nick Hoffman
Their LP “PSYCHOPHAGI” on Pilgrim Talk was made using disassembled turntable, sewing machine, and amplified sheet metal.

Albuquerque-based composer Christian Pinock performs original improvised compositions on electric valve trombone. Using a computer-based instrument of his own creation (using MAX/MSP) and a system of sensors attached to the trombone, he creates solo performances that are dynamic and subtle, drawing from diverse styles such as improvised experimental music, contemporary classical, avant-garde jazz, noise, and electronica.
Christian will perform a solo electric trombone set and a trio improvisation withGuillermo Gregorio (clarinet, saxophone) and Eric Leonardson (experimental instruments, electronics).
Guillermo and Eric will open the concert at 7:30 PM with a duo set.
