One of my favorite artists in our entire community, Matt Davignon will be doing an exciting west coast tour, performing solo on the same bill as Chaos Butterfly, a wonderfully creative group that features Dina Emerson, the amazing singer who also performs with Meredith Monk and Cirque De Soleil. I had the privilege of being on the same bill with Dina a couple of times and I was really impressed with the beauty of her artistry. This will be a very special concert so I urge you to make it if it comes to your vicinity. Info and schedule is below: thanks, Rick Walker ****************** Chaos Butterfly and Matt Davignon are bringing their unique forms of immersive improvised electroacoustic music up and down the West Coast. If you like this stuff, please come to one of the shows, enjoy the music and say hello! Chaos Butterfly The electroacoustic duo Chaos Butterfly is Jonathan Segel (violin, guitar, electronics) and Dina Emerson (voice, wineglasses, electronics, etc.). Chaos Butterfly has worked with Camper Van Beethoven (Segel) and the Meredith Monk Ensemble (Emerson), in addition to working with operas, orchestras, and the Cirque du Soleil. Their music encompasses song, soundtrack, storytelling, and mayhem, all created and performed in real time. The instrumentation is a seamless combination of electronic and acoustic sources, including violin, voice, laptop computers, guitar, wine glasses, and various toy samplers. www.magneticmotorworks.com/chaos/ Matt Davignon is an experimental musician living in Oakland, California. Since 1993, he has developed his own unique style of music, which focuses largely on textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections. Since 2004, he has been working almost exclusively with a drum machine, run through a series of effects and samplers. Drawing from what he's learned in his previous work in sound collage, field recordings, found objects and prepared instruments, he creates an organic array of drones, gurgles and frantic passages. www.ribosomemusic.com Tour info & samples at http://www.ribosomemusic.com/Tour2005.html Friday, December 2 Dunes 1905 NE Martin Luther King Portland, OR 8:00 pm $3-4 sliding scale Chaos Butterfly Matt Davignon Evolutionary Jass Band LUC Saturday, December 3 On the radio 88.7 FM KBVR Corvallis 3:00 PM Chaos Butterfly Matt Davignon Monday, December 5 afternoon On the radio 88.1 FM KWVA Eugene 3/4 PM Monday, December 5 evening Sam Bonds Garage 407 blair blvd Eugene, OR 8:00 pm $6-10 sliding scale (541) 343-2635 Wednesday, December 7 Gallery 412 1412 18th Ave. Seattle, WA 8:00 pm $5-15 sliding (206) 322-1533 8:30: Noah Mickens with Harauko Nishimura (voice/found objects/dance) 9:30ish: Matt Davignon 10:15 ish: Chaos Butterfly Thursday, December 15 Trummerflora presents Other Ideas at Voz Alta 1544 Broaddway @16th (East Village) San Deigo, CA 8:00 pm - $5 at the door www.vozalta.org Matt Davignon Chaos Butterfly Friday, December 16 OPEN Books Music Magazine Art 144 Linden Ave Long Beach, CA 8pm - donation requested Chaos Butterfly Matt Davignon
