Omaha, Nebraska based improviser and concept artist Bryan Day (b. 1979) has been involved in the avant-garde music community for the last 12 years. He started the, then Minneapolis-based, free music label Public Eyesore in 1997 as an outlet for his works using homemade electronic and mechanical sound generating devices, and to this day continues the process of expanding upon these themes. Merging structure and chaos, Day uses an elaborate notation system and cellular automata based computer programs of his own design, along with the expressionist cues of visual art and modern dance for his inspiration. Rather than be known as a musician, he prefers to be known as an impulsive conceptualist, searching for difficult and inconvenient analogs to the contemporary experience using sound.

Have a look at the new blog by Sarah Mann-O’Donnell. “Sarah’s Sound Script” blog is an online venue for her poetic writings on sound. Sarah is a philosopher and poet who writes about sound. She’s a newcomer from Philadelphia.
I met Sarah Mann-O’Donnell at two of my concerts last week, and she wrote about:
Monday’s concert at Elastic with Carol Genetti
…and:
Friday’s concert at AV-aerie with Eric Glick Rieman.
I shared the bill with The Young Equestrians and Fred Lonberg-Holm, whom Sarah also wrote about.
