What does it take for the psychopomp to understand That a boa imperator is perfectly capable of playing music All it takes is a conveniently placed smartphone  With a keyboard app, of course And from the snake side: any unintentional stroke of tail, really Will do the trick 
And there, there you have it There you have a glissando There you have chromaticism There you have the charm of animalistic instinct There’s charm of chance The beauty of dinosaur

Peter Evans Quintet from EMPAC @ Rensselaer on Vimeo.
March 29, 2013
Taking jazz ensembles into the 21st century, the Peter Evans Quintet incorporates real-time sound processing with traditional instruments. These live electronics allow the group to change their sound fluidly from mellow tones to jagged rattling to cacophonous reverberation. The quintet draws on traditional jazz idioms as source material and contorts them into something resembling classical European avant-garde—complete with complex rhythms played with pinpoint accuracy and confounding extended techniques.
Peter Evans Quintet:
Peter Evans (trumpets/compositions) Ron Stabinsky (piano) Tom Blancarte (bass) Jim Black (drums) Sam Pluta (live electronics)
CURATOR: ARGEO ASCANI

Carol Liebowitz and Birgitta Flick originally met at a Berlin jazz club in 2010. When their paths crossed again in New York in 2014 they had the opportunity to play intensively for several months and since then have toured together frequently in Europe and the New York area.
Their playing creates an extraordinary soundscape  —  where freedom of expression connects with an intense lyricism in original compositions, spontaneous improvisations, and inspiring explorations into the Great American songbook.

Birgitta Flick, tenor saxophone 
Birgitta Flick is a saxophonist and composer and lives in Berlin. She studied saxophone and Jazz at the Jazz-Institut Berlin (UdK) and the Royal College of Music, Stockholm. Current projects—besides her Duo with Carol Liebowitz—are her Berlin-based quartet and the German-Swedish-Finnish band Flickstick, with whom she won the 2012 Jazz Baltica Förderpreis and released the 2nd album in January 2018. Ms. Flick’s other work includes playing in the Nico Lohmann Quintet, and in drummer Sebastian Voegler’s Stockholm-based band Fluxmaschine and the German Women’s Jazz Orchestra.
In 2011–12 her research and composition project on traditional Swedish music was sponsored by the Elsa Neumann Scholarship of the state of Berlin. The resulting suite for the Swedish singer Lina Nyberg, Silke Eberhard (bass clarinet), Nico Lohmann (alto saxophone, flute) and the Birgitta Flick Quartet was released in April 2016 by Double Moon Records. The quartet’s debut CD, “Yingying” was released in 2013 by Jazz thing Next Generation. In autumn 2018 the new CD “Color Studies” will be published by Double Moon Records/Challenge, supported by the Initiative Musik gGmbH. Further CD productions include those with the Nico Lohmann quintet, Esther Kaiser and Z’lil schel bet Haskala, amongst others. 
Her concert tours have taken her to several European countries, the USA and the Middle East, and in winter 2014–15, to New York for a three month stay including private studies with Connie Crothers. Festival concert appearances include XJazz Berlin, Elbjazz in Hamburg, JazzBaltica, Jazzwoche Burghausen, Jazzahead German Jazz Meeting and Cairo Jazz Festival. Since 2013 Birgitta also contributes to the monthly Psalmton Jazz Pop Services at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche in Berlin—both as a performer, composer and coordinator. Since 2015 she also serves as the artistic director of the summer concert series “InSpirit“ at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis- Kirche.
In 2017 she received a scholarship of the City of Berlin to realize a new improvisation project and the CD recording for “Malita-Malika" together with Carol Liebowitz. 
“An excellent tenor-saxophonist based in Berlin, Birgitta Flick has an original sound on her horn, not sounding like any of her historical predecessors.” —Scott Yanow
“The large scale of Flick’s music is testimony to her rich orchestral experience, and this album first of all surprises the listener with her outstanding talent as a composer.” —Kayo Fushiya, JazzTokyo
Carol Liebowitz, piano/voice
Pianist Carol Liebowitz brings a uniquely expressive and personal sound to the jazz and free improvisation scene. After focusing on classical repertoire at the High School of Performing Arts and NYU, her musical direction turned to improvisation and she began studying with Connie Crothers. Other influential teachers have included Sal Mosca, Jay Clayton and Sheila Jordan. She has performed in Europe and throughout the New York City metropolitan area in venues such as Roulette, The Stone, Cornelia Street Cafe, IBeam, The Firehouse Space, Arts for Art, Spectrum, and Birdland. In addition to frequent solo concert appearances, Carol has worked in various groups with musicians including Tom Blancarte, Adam Caine, Daniel Carter, Claire de Brunner, Maryanne de Prophetis, Andrew Drury, Ken Filiano, Andy Fite, Birgitta Flick, Ratzo Harris, Ron Horton, Louise D.E. Jensen, Adam Lane, Eva Lindal, Nick Lyons, Ryan Messina, Kevin Norton, Bill Payne, John Pietaro, Lorenzo Sanguedolce, John Wagner, Michael Wimberly, and Andrea Wolper.  
Her CD “Payne Lindal Liebowitz” on Line Art Records with clarinetist Bill Payne and violinist Eva Lindal was voted one of the Top Ten Jazz CDs in the 2015 NPR Jazz Critics Poll by Art Lange. Also on Line Art Records are “First Set” (a duo with alto saxophonist Nick Lyons), “Poetry from the Future” (To Be Continued, a quartet with Claire de Brunner, Daniel Carter, and Kevin Norton), and most recently in 2018, “Spiderwebmandala,” a duo with Bill Payne, featuring poet Mark Weber. Carol has two releases on the New Artists label: “Waves of Blue Intensities,” a duo with tenor saxophonist Bob Field, and “Time on My Hands,” a voice/guitar duo with Andy Fite.
“...three-dimensional kaleidoscopic displays.” —Mel Minter (musically speaking),melminter.com

Talibam! to release ultra-limited box set containing 15 NEW albums in celebration of their 15th anniversary; announce German festival residency and tour dates
There’s “doing it,” and then there’s “overdoing it.” Guess which way NYC’s premier “Dadaist provocateurs” are leaning? Never ones to mail it in, Talibam! have carved out a 15-year career revealing the often-engrossing uniqueness of a band that has remained confidently outside any easily recognizable genre but has embraced so many. Matt Mottel and Kevin Shea have never shied from showing us their fun and exploratory side; so to celebrate their musical lives together thus far, they’ve announced a new box set containing basically a bazillion new albums and a bunch of German festival shows that are as quirky as they are. An ambitious and artistic box set creation, 15th Anniversary Box Set, 2003-2018, Presenting 15 New Albums for 2018 is exactly that: 15 NEW albums on 8 CDs to celebrate Shea and Mottel’s 15 years as Talibam! This is not a band that caters to any act of convention; so, naturally, each album is a different affair featuring a slew of styles and collaborators, such as Audrey Chen and Phil Minton, Alan Wilkinson, and Colin L. (in fine Billy Joel Cover Band form). All eight discs also include covers adorned with photography by Mottel’s father, the late, esteemed lensman, theater director/producer, and media consultant Syeus Mottel. The CD box is being released in a limited-edition of 100 only, so go here now and send it to someone you love (yourself). Meanwhile, Mottel and Shea are currently playing around in Europe until the beginning of June, after which they will return stateside for a couple of gigs in Miami and Brooklyn. All dates listed from May 18-May 21 are part of Talibam!’s “Artist in Resistance” residency at the Moers Festival in Germany and feature a variety of Talibam! shows and events, sessions, and discussions featuring Mottel, Shea, and frequent collaborators Matt Nelson, Ron Stabinsky, and Luke Stewart. Pour yourself a drink and raise a glass to commemorate one of the most overdoingist bands of the last 15 years. You’ll need a pretty big glass, though; there is a LOT of info below.

Valerio Tricoli (IT)
Valerio Tricoli (Palermo, Italia, 1977) on elektroakustisen musiikin säveltäjä ja esittäjä. Noin kymmenen vuoden ajan Tricoli on esiintynyt avokelanauhurin avulla, jota hän käyttää sekä äänittämiseen että äänen reaaliaikaiseen muokkaamiseen, editointiin ja miksaamiseen. Tärkeimpinä äänilähteinään Tricoli käyttää sekä ennalta tehtyjä että konserttipaikoilla syntyviä tallenteita: puhetta, laulua, pieniä akustisia ja elektronisia soittimia, esineitä ja esityspaikan akustiikkaa tai mahdollisten soittokumppanien tekemiä ääniä. Tarinansa Tricoli luo kussakin soittohetkessä erikseen, ja niissä hän keskittyy todellisuuden, virtuaalisuuden ja muistin moninaisiin suhteisiin: äänet leijuvat aina konserttitilanteen “tässä ja nyt” -hetken sekä muistojen hämärän eri vyöhykkeillä - kaukaisina, mutta samalla läsnä olevina kuten deja-vu-kokemuksissa. Tricolin musiikissa on usein käsinkosketeltava hautovan jännityksen tunnelma, jatkuvuuden sijaan hän suosii murtumia ja käyttää isoa äänenvoimakkuuksien asteikkoa lähes hiljaisuudesta äärimmäisiin purkauksiin asti. Tricolin elektroakustiset studiosävellykset ovat osa konkreettisen musiikin perinnettä, ja ne tutkivat ennen kaikkea sisäisen kokemuksen ja okkultismin teemoja. Näiden teemojen ja hänen paljon käyttämänsä puhutun tekstin myötä teokset ovat Tricolin omien sanojen mukaan syvän eksistentiaalisia, psykologisen, emotionaalisen ja irrationaalisen kauhun itsetutkiskeluja. + Valerio Tricoli (Palermo, Italy, 1977) is a composer and performer of electro-acoustic music. Since the mid '00 is main instruments for live presentations is the Revox B77 reel-to-reel tape recorder, used as a completely analogue / ergonomic device for live sampling and real-time transformation / editing / mixing of pre-recorded (field or studio recordings) and made-on-the-spot sound sources, the latter usually being vocalizations (including speech and singing), small acoustic and electronic instruments, objects, the amplified sound of the room itself in which the concert takes place and - in the case of group sets - whatever is produced by the fellow musicians. On a formal level his sets focus on the impromptu creation of a narrative which takes into account the multiple relations intervening between reality, virtuality and memory during the acoustic event: sounds are always hovering between the "here and now" of the concert situation and the shady domain of memory - distant but at the same time present like in a deja-vu experience. Privileging fracture over continuity and by the use of a dynamic range that could often jump suddenly from near-silence to extreme blasts of sounds, an almost tactile feeling of brooding tension is often attained. His electro-acoustic studio compositions, documented on few records, are aligned to the tradition of Musique Concrète and explore themes of the internal - represented both by the psychological and the physical - and of the occult, which together with the large use of spoken text makes them often deeply existential works, self- investigations of the psychological, emotional and irrational horror within. https://valeriotricoli.bandcamp.com/

Louise D.E. Jensen (DK/US) Louise Dam Eckardt Jensen (s. 1980) käyttää esiintymisissään ja sävellyksissään niin saksofonia kuin omaa ääntään. Antiautoritäärisyyden periaatteeseen nojaava improvisoija jakaa aikansa liki kuristavan New Yorkin sekä idyllisen tanskalaisen maaseutuelämän välillä. Tämä kaksijakoisuus kuuluu myös hänen musiikissaan: raaka ja pidäkkeetön noise saa tasapainoiseksi kumppanikseen rauhallisesti etsiskelevää melodisuutta. Näitä etsintöjä hän on viime aikoina tehnyt mm. saksofonikvartetissa yhdessä Tamio Shiraishin, Matt Nelsonin ja Chris Pitsiokosin kanssa sekä hänen oman no wave -henkisen yhtyeensä Sweet Banditryn riveissä. Yhdessä aviomiehensä, basisti Tom Blancarten kanssa hän soittaa The Home of Easy Credit -duossa,  joka oli yksi ensimmäisistä Himera-esiintyjistä talvella 2013. Blancarten kanssa he New Yorkissa soittavat usein myös trumpetisti Peter Evansin kanssa. Tanskasta käsin pari puolestaan pyörittää yhdessä Marsken-levymerkkiään. Himera-festivaalilla Louise D.E. Jensen soittaa kaksi konserttia: perjantai-iltana hän esiintyy soolona Kutomolla ja lauantai-iltapäivän konsertissa Sibelius-museolla hän puolestaan soittaa yhdessä Natalia Castrillonin (harppu) sekä Amanda Blomqvistin (lyömäsoittimet) kanssa. + Louise Dam Eckardt Jensen (b. 1980) is a Danish-American saxophonist, vocalist and composer whose anti-authoritarian approach has led to her to a sort of bi-coastal career where she thrives simultaneously in the dense and claustrophobic environment of New York City and the idyll of the southern Danish countryside. This duality finds its counterpart in her music: equal parts raw, unrelenting exploration of harsh noise and questing melodic forays. Not prone to sit on the sidelines, she tends to lead or co-lead her own ensembles. She recently formed a hellish saxophone quartet comprised of legendary Japanese noise saxophonist Tamio Shiraishi, tenor saxophonist Matt Nelson (Battle Trance, Premature Burial) and young alto player Chris Pitsiokos (Weasel Walter). She is also the leader of, vocalist and composer for Danish improvised no-wave band Sweet Banditry (featuring Brandon Seabrook & Kevin Shea), the co-leader of eerie post-apocalyptic improv duo The Home of Easy Credit with husband Tom Blancarte, as well as a member of various ad-hoc improvising groups, including the Gauntlet Quartet with Peter Evans, Dan Peck and Tom Blancarte. She has toured extensively throughout the continental United States and Europe and has performed with musicians as diverse as Weasel Walter, Marc Ducret, Jim Black, Tim Dahl, Erica Dicker and Poul Dissing. She co-runs the Denmark-based label Marsken Records with husband Tom Blancarte.

Topias Tiheäsalo – akustinen kitara / acoustic guitar Antti Tolvi – tam-tam / gong Kahden suomalaisen improvisoijan akustinen kohtaaminen Sibelius-museon rikkaassa akustiikassa. Topias Tiheäsalo on Turussa asuva kitaristi ja improvisoija, joka on esiintynyt 2000-luvun alusta lähtien. Hänet tunnetaan pääasiassa akustisista, improvisoiduista sooloesiintymisistä: sävelet ja äänet saattavat olla hiljaisia ja harvassa, ne saattavat syntyä terävästi, jääden sitten kummittelemaan hauraina ylä-ääninä. Hän on myös kiinnostunut teräskielisen kitaran avoimista virityksistä ja niiden rikkaasta soinnista tavoilla, jotka tuovat mieleen moninaiset kitaraperinteet ympäri maailman. Sähkökitaraa hän soittaa mm. thrash metal/noise -bändi Pymathonissa sekä free jazz -yhtye Jooklo Quartetissa. Tiheäsalo säveltää musiikkia mykkäelokuvanäytöksiin sekä tekee ohjelmia Yle Radio 1:lle free jazzista, nykysävellyksestä ja vanhasta musiikista – hän perusti ystäviensä kanssa Himera-työryhmän reilut neljä vuotta sitten.
Kemiönsaarelainen säveltäjä, muusikko ja Qigong-opettaja Antti Tolvi  on ollut yksi keskeisimpiä nimiä Suomen underground-musiikin kentällä vuodesta 2002 lähtien. Antti on soittanut yli 200 konserttia ympäri maailmaa mm. Kiinassa (Shanghai EXPO 2010), Japanissa (kaksi kiertuetta) ja Yhdysvalloissa (neljä kiertuetta vuosina 2005-2015). Antti Tolvin nimeä kantavia soololevyjä on julkaistu kolmetoista kappaletta ja Antti on ollut mukana yli viidelläkymmenellä levyllä soittajana ja/tai säveltäjänä. Viime vuonna (2016) Antti teki viisi äänitaideinstallaatiota eri gallerioihin. Antti on järjestänyt vuotuista äänitaiteeseen keskittyvää Kiilan Äänipäivät festivaalia Kemiönsaarella vuodesta 2014 lähtien. +
Meeting of two Finnish improvisors: two acoustic instruments, their resonances and the rich acoustic environment of the Sibelius Museum. Topias Tiheäsalo is a Turku-based guitarist and improviser, who has been active for the past 15 years. As an acoustic guitar player he’s known for his improvised solo performances, which could be very sparse and nearly silent, with crisp attack and haunting harmonies. Occasionally Tiheäsalo’s playing is more rooted to various guitar traditions of the globe: Southern European strumming, South American harmonies, North American picking and open tunings and resonances pointing to all directions imaginable…all of this and nothing of this at the same time. Then he might switch to electric guitar to play free Thrash Metal/Noise in Pymathon and old school Free Jazz in Jooklo Quartet. He makes music for silent film screenings, presents Free Jazz, contemporary composition and early music on the Finnish national radio YLE and is a founding member of Himera since 2013. Antti Tolvi is a composer, sound artist, performer and Qi Gong teacher. As a teenager he moved from countryside to city and got excited about playing didgeridoo. Soon saxophone and free jazz came to picture and took Antti’s attention. Interest in Classical Indian Music took Antti all the way to Varansi to study music. After India Taiji and nature studies back in Finland. Chaos and wild freedom turned into minimalism and Zen. Now Antti has found himself again in countryside, with winds, birds, silence and harmony of everything. Antti Tolvi’s work is reflecting freedom, peace, gratitude and minimalist aesthetic. www.anttitolvi.com

Tomoko Sauvage (JP/FR) Tomoko Sauvage on Pariisissa toimiva japanilainen muusikko ja äänitaiteilija, joka käyttää äänilähteinään eri kokoisia vesikulhoja, hydrofoneilla vahvistettuja posliinikulhoja täynnä vettä. Hän soittaa veden eri muotoja - pisaroita, aaltoja ja kuplia, jotka resonoivat kulhoissa -  ja akustista kiertoa, joka luo aaltoilevia droneja ja luonnollisia yläsäveliä. Sauvagen työtä luonnehtii hallitun ja hallitsemattoman hienovarainen tasapaino, pisaroiden satunnainen rytmiikka, soittotilan akustiikka ja nesteiden alati liikkuva ja haihtuva tonaliteetti. + Tomoko Sauvage, Japanese musician and sound artist based in Paris, is working with water bowls  porcelain bowls of different sizes, filled with water and amplified with hydrophones. She plays with different forms of water – drops, waves and bubbles resonating in the bowls as well as audio feedback creating waving drones and natural overtones. Her work is about the delicate balance between controlled and uncontrolled with random percussion of droplets, acoustic characteristics of the space and the fragile tonality created with the fluid materials constantly evaporating and moving. o-o-o-o.org Kuva/Photo: Patricia Maincent

Francesco Cavaliere (IT) Francesco Cavalieren ainutlaatuinen tyyli on vuosien keikkailun ja studiotyöskentelyn tulos.  Hän on koonnut uskomattoman laajan arkiston itsetehtyjä ääniefektejä ja eksoottisia rytmejä, joita hän yhdistelee omaan kertojanääneensä. Cavaliere ammentaa vaikutteita äänirunoudesta ja surrealismista. Hänen viimeisimmästä luomuksestaan "Gancio Cielo" -levystä on toistaiseksi ilmestynyt kaksi osaa. Tässä maailmassa alkemia ja scifi sulautuvat toisiinsa, kun absurdi ja intensiivinen tarinankerronta kulkee rinta rinnan vastustamattomasti muljahtelevien biittien kanssa. Cavaliere on kehitellyt universuminsa asukkaiksi hillittömän olentokavalkadin. Cavalieren esiintyessä kielirajat murtuvat musiikin ja tarinankerronnan sulautuessa toisiinsa. Kokonaisuus noudattaa kuitenkin aina omaa erikoista logiikkaansa ja kuulija tempautuu mukaan ihmeellisten kertomusten käänteisiin. + Francesco Cavaliere, 1980 Piombino, Italy, is known for the sensitivity with which he combines sounds, materials and space, showing a highly particular taste for the most diverse forms of exoticism. His works are capable of enlivening his listeners’ inner states in an imaginative journey populated by ephemeral presences, phenomena generated by glass, minerals and voices recorded using analogue technologies. https://fcavaliere.com

Arttu Partinen Arttu Partinen on tehnyt musiikkia yli viisitoista vuotta, Himera-festivaalin keikka on osa hänen 40-vuotisjuhlakiertuettaan. Aktiivisen kotimaassa ja ulkomailla esiintymisen lisäksi hän on osana Mental Alaska -kollektiivia tuonut valtavan määrän kokeellisen musiikin tekijöitä Suomeen ja rohkaissut ihmisiä aloittamaan musiikin tekemisen ja tapahtumien järjestämisen. Soolona esiintyessään hänet on usein tunnettu nimellä Amon Düde, mutta viime aikoina hän on esiintynyt enimmäkseen omalla nimellään. Partisen keikat koostuvat nopeista kollaaseista, dynaamisen äänen ja slapstick-eleiden yhdistelmistä. Teostensa äänet hän koostaa mm. löydetyiltä kaseteilta, omista äänistyksistään, maailmanmusiikkikaseteilta, luonnon ja ihmisten äänistä sekä digitaalisista lyömäsoittimista. Jokainen esiintyminen saattaa päätyä osasiksi seuraavaa varten. Näin hän tavallaan luo aina uudelleen oman elämänsä tarinaa käsittelemällä, kasaamalla ja kerrostamalla omia nauhoituksiaan. Samalla hän tutkii Walkman-arsenaalinsa avulla luhistumaisillaan olevan tekniikan äänimaisemaa. Soolotuotannon lisäksi Partinen on osa mm. kokoonpanoja Avarus, Hockey Night ja Hetero Skeleton. Maaliskuussa 2017 ilmestyy eponyymi 7"julkaisu "Arttu Partinen" (Ikuisuus/Artsy) + Arttu Partinen has made music for more than fifteen years. The Himera festival performance is part of his 40th birthday tour. In addition to actively performing at home and abroad, he has brought a great amount of experimental music makers to Finland as part of the Mental Alaska collective and encouraged many people to start making music and arrange music events. His solo performances has usually been under the Amon Düde moniker, but lately mostly under his own name. Partinens performances are made up of fast-paced collages, a combination of dynamic sound and slapstick gestures. He gathers the sounds from found tapes, his own recordings, world music tapes, nature and human sounds as well as digital percussion. Every performance may end up as a part of the next one. In this way, he creates his own life story over and over, processing and layering his own recordings anew. nauhoituksiaan. With his Walkman arsenal he simultaneously explores the soundscape of technology in decay. Partinen is also a part of ensembles such as Avarus, Hockey Night and Hetero Skeleton. The eponym 7" EP “Arttu Partinen" is realeased in March 2017 (Ikuisuus/Artsy). https://soundcloud.com/arttu-partinen/artsyseiskateaser https://avarus.bandcamp.com/releases
