FRAGMENTS OF THE MASS DREAM Diverse Directions in Guitar Music Friday, October 9th 1998 9pm Cafe Tattoo - 4825 Belair Road - Baltimore MD (410)325-7427 One instrument, three different styles of music. On Friday October 9th Cafe Tattoo (The Baltimore City Paper's pick for the Best Jazz Club for 1998) will be hosting an exciting and diverse evening of guitar music. FingerPaint, The Dark Aether Project, and Tony Geballe converge from diverse musical backgrounds to share their love of sonic exploration. Fragments of musical vision presented as one whole evening of enticing music. ----- FingerPaint is guitarists/synthesists Steev Geest and Patrick Smith. Exploring the edges of electronic music and spontaneous composition, their improvisatory soundscapes have been described as "sinister and alien" by the Philadelphia City Paper. See http://www.fingerpaint.net/ for more information about FingerPaint. ----- The Dark Aether Project features Adam Levin (Warr 8 String Touch Guitar/ Loops), Yaman Aksu (Fretted and Fretless Guitars/Guitar Synth), and Brian Griffin (Drums). Progression magazine says "...jazz-inflected, often minimalistic...foreboding soundscape[s]... classy...offers mature musicianship without pretentiousness." Expose says "...intense and blistering lead work...amazing loops and shimmering textures that are at once haunting and dreamlike...worthy of attention." The Dark Aether Project will be joined by special guest vocalist Ray Weston (Echolyn/Still/Always Almost) See http://www.darkaether.net/ for more info on The Dark Aether Project ----- Tony Geballe has been a member of the Turkish music trio Dostlar and the New York Indonesian Consulate Gamelan. As a member of Robert Fripp and the League of Crafty Guitarists, Tony has made several recordings and toured Israel, Europe and the US, as well as appearing on local and national radio and television shows. The 12-string guitar is primarily known as a folk instrument, but Tony combines elements of classical and jazz techniques, harmony and form with the shimmering and resonant sound of the instrument, to create a unique, compelling and satisfying music. Tony 's CD of solo 12-string guitar music, "Native of the Rain," has been released by Discipline Global Mobile records. "Deftly bridges the chasm between pop accessibility and meticulously crafted musicianship. Geballe's compositions, awash in dazzling, evocative sonic cascades, demonstrate just how far one exemplary musician can push the musical envelope armed with only one 12-string acoustic guitar." ----- -Adam --- "...if one strives at hearing for the sake of constant virtue, out of seeking liberation from cyclic existence, gradually one becomes a Hearer." - Chandrakirti T h e D a r k A e t h e r P r o j e c t http://www.darkaether.net/
