CALENDAR LISTING DAVID TORN TO PERFORM LIVE CONCERT AT STAR'S END GATHERING (Philadelphia, PA) Acclaimed Guitarist David Torn will perform a solo concert of "Aggressive Space Music" at the Star's End Gathering on Saturday, March 7th, 1998. Much in demand as a sideman, Torn has lent his snakey lead lines and complex textures to recordings as diverse as K.D.Lang's "Smoke", Ryuichi Sakamoto's new orchestral work "Dischord:Untitled 01", David Sylvian's "Secrets of the Beehive", Jan Garbarek's "It's OK to Listen to the Gray Voice" and the Grammy Award winning "Mark Isham". Isham, along with film composers Carter Burwell, Graeme Revell, and Patrick O'Hearn have employed Torn's unique soundscapes in many movie soundtracks, including "The Big Lebowski", "Romeo is Bleeding", "Short Cuts" and "Reversal of Fortune". David Torn has recorded five solo albums: Best Laid Plans (ECM), Cloud About Mercury (ECM), Door X (Windham Hill), Tripping Over God (CMP) and What Means Solid Traveler? (CMP), which explore the terrain between rock, jazz and mutated world music. In both 1994 and 1997 he was voted "Best Experimental Guitarist" in Guitar Player magazine's Reader's Poll. The Star's End Gathering performance will be his first in Philadelphia in over ten years and will explore textures, soundscapes and atmospheres. He calls it "aggressive space music...something you might expect to hear at an illbient rave, rather than a guitar concert, although I will be playing guitar." Part of WXPN's member month, and sponsored by Star's End, the station's 22-year-old radio program of space music, the concert will be held from 8:00pm-10:30pm in the University of Pennsylvania's Houston Hall Auditorium at 3417 Spruce Street.
