Hi folks, I'll be doing video improvisations at the Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge, with -BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC -DAVID GROSS & BRENDAN MURRAY: "CADDYSHACK" Its always a pleasure to work with Birdsongs, and I'm looking forward to working with Dave and Brendan. Hope some of you can make it BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC! Michael Bierylo - guitar, computer Ken Field - saxophone/flute, percussion Erik Lindgren - piano Rick Scott - synthesizer <http://www.birdsongsofthemesozoic.com> Birdsongs will preview brand new material from our forthcoming Cuneiform release "The Iridium Controversy", due out in 2003, plus music from our 20-year repertoire. This is our first Cambridge gig in quite some time. "Birdsongs is distinguished by a sound that's at once avant-garde and organic, contemporary-sounding and primal-feeling...their reach is vast." (The Boston Globe) "The band captures one's imagination with memorable melodies, crunching ensemble work and truly spirited interplay as the strong writing often spawns wonderment." (All About Jazz) "Twenty years after forming, this group is still on the cutting edge...Birdsongs melds layers of sound best described as the soundtrack to a primordial epic." (Boston Magazine) "A Boston band that compresses Stravinsky, Steve Reich, and Question Mark and the Mysterians into keyboard driven stomps." - Jon Pareles The New York Times DAVID GROSS & BRENDAN MURRAY: "CADDYSHACK" David Gross - keyboard & electronics Brendan Murray - electronics <http://www.geocities.com/gdgsite> Labeled as "One of Boston's steadfast explorers," by Bob Blumenthal of the Boston Globe, saxophonist and clarinetist David Gross discovered the world of improvised music while studting with Yusef Lateef at Hampshire College. He has performed with Le Quan Ninh, Eddie Prevost, Steve Roden, Gino Robair, Martin Tetreault, Kaffe Matthews, Glenn Spearman, Raphe Malik and many members of the Boston free-improv scene including Bhob Rainey, Greg Kelley, and Laurence Cook. Currently, Gross is transforming the saxophone into exactly what it is: a metal tube with keys, mouthpiece, and a reed. Reviews of his recordings, on his own Tautology label with ensembles EED and FETISH, have been as varied as "The range of textured noise that he cajoles from his instrument is impressive" to "lengthy episodes of fingernails ripping at a blackboard". He has performed throughout the US including at festivals as diverse as The KNOB (Witchita, KS), Big Sur Festival of Experimental Music (CA), High Zero (Baltimore, MD), Improvised and Otherwise (NYC) and Autumn Uprising (MA) which he created in 1997. @ THE ZEITGEIST GALLERY 1353 Cambridge St. Inman Sq.
