tranzducer.008!!!
it’s time for tranzducer.008 folks, and we’ve got a live one here. if you only go to one tranzducer this summer, this is the one to hit. August 31, 2007 Stephen Lehman Tranzducer.008 is is very lucky to host three of the most talented and accomplished individuals ever to grace the LEMURplex stage. Stephen Lehman, Downbeat magazine’s two-time “Rising Star” pick on alto saxophone, will be debuting new work for computer and sax. Leon Gruenbaum, inventor of the Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeeeee, will be presenting his new project “Genes and Machines.” And last but certainly not least we’ll be hearing from creative force and ex-Antipop Consortium member High Priest (a.k.a. HPRIZM). As always, Season of the Bit video game tune selections between sets (http://seasonofthebit.com)! Named a Rising Star on the alto saxophone in 2006 and 2007 by the Downbeat Magazine International Critics Poll, STEVE LEHMAN is a saxophonist and composer whose work resides on the cutting-edge of contemporary music. He has been recognized as a fiercely compelling creative voice by The Wire, The New York Times, The Village Voice, and Downbeat Magazine, as well as by National Public Radio. A former student of both Jackie McLean and Anthony Braxton, he has performed and recorded throughout the United States and Europe with his own ensembles, and with those led by Anthony Braxton, Dave Burrell, Mark Dresser, Vijay Iyer, Oliver Lake, and Meshell Ndegeocello. Lehman is a doctoral candidate in Music Composition at Columbia University where he is a departmental fellow. His most recent recordings as a leader include Demian as Posthuman (Pi 2005), featuring Tyshawn Sorey and 9-time Grammy nominee Meshell Ndegeocello, Simulated Progress (Pi 2005) with the collective trio Fieldwork, Interface (Clean Feed 2004), featuring Mark Dresser and Pheeroan akLaff, and Artificial Light (Fresh Sound 2004) with his critically acclaimed quintet. Genes and Machines You’ve read all the Kurzweil books and the sclence fiction scenarios and it makes perfect sense: whatever an entity is made of - flesh and blood, or silicon and lead - its actlons, its “thoughts”, its “feelings” are determined by mechanistic processes. Man and machine alike are programmed. And then something happens that makes it clear, at least to you, that people must be more than machines. But in the end you are not sure. High Priest of the Antipop Consortium is a self taught composer, sound designer and arranger. Coming from visual arts background, Priest creates dense sonic backdrops influenced by Sun Ra The RZA, Phillip Glass and Jean-Michel Basquiat at once. His compositions have been installed at PS1 /The MOMA, The Whitney Biannual and the Musee de Moderne de la Ville de Paris. As a performer Priest has shared the stage with performers ranging from Bern Nix and Jamaaladeen Tacuma (Ornette Coleman/Primetime) to Radiohead.August 31, 2007 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm
