interesting bay area concert

[Kim Flint <kflint@annihilist.com>]

speaking of new instruments,

This sounds like an interesting show at cnmat, featuring my old cohort Matt
Wright along with David Wessel and Shafqat Ali Khan. cnmat is the Center
for New Music and Audio Technologies, at UC Berkeley. check the web page:

>I sent you all an email announcement about some concerts I'll be doing 
>with
>David Wessel and the amazing Pakistani singer Shafqat Ali Khan.  The first
>concert, with me providing just a drone, went very well on Saturday.  Now
>we're busy getting ready for the much more technically challenging second 
>set
>of concerts.
>
>Here's the blurb I sent last time:
>
>    This one will be a lot wilder.  Shafqat will be singing again, but 
>this
>    time the band will be David Wessel and me, playing totally electronic
>    instruments.  It's going to be totally improvised.
>
>    I can't say too much about it, because, of course, we're still 
>developing
>    our instruments.  David will probably be using his Buchla Thunder
>    controller, via a new version of the software he's been developing 
>over
>    recent years.  I'll be using the Wacom tablet and probably some other
>    stuff.  There will be a drone, but that's not all I'll be doing.  
>There'll
>    be a lot of grooving rhythmic stuff.  His voice will be going into 
>Max/MSP
>    and we'll be sampling and processing it in real time.  And I'm sure 
>we'll
>    get some other goodies in there over the next few weeks.
>
>    This concert will be two nights, Thursday, 4/2 and Thursday, 4/9.  
>Here's
>    the official blurb:
>
>    Longtime musical collaborators Shafqat Ali Khan (vocals) and David 
>Wessel
>    (interactive computer instrumentation) are joined by Matt Wright
>    (interactive computer instrumentation) for an evening of 
>improvisation and
>    interaction.  They create a musical common ground, informed by 
>classical
>    Indo-Pakisani music, upon which a vital dialogue takes place.
