ROMAN STOLYAR
"One of the best of a new trend of modern Russian composers."
- Expose
The Russian free jazz innovator and members of the CalArts  
Improvisation Ensemble weave together a series of new collaborative  
multimedia works developed using Stolyar’s unique “Improvising  
Orchestra” methodology. In a continuance of their ongoing  
collaboration, Chase and Allen join Stolyar, forging ahead into  
uncharted aesthetic territory. This project was first begun in  
Siberia between Allen and Stolyar following an arts conference that  
touched on improvised music as a means for transnational communication.

Chase's interactive visual work with the improvising trio NIRUSU III  
(Chase, Allen, Pearson) has been acclaimed by the LA Weekly as  
"pushing the edge of audio/visual improv", and his animated/projected  
composition 2UIQ  was featured last October at the Illuminated  
Corridor (San Francisco/Oakland) exhibition Mobility. In this  
appearance at REDCAT, Chase explores the possibility of a dynamic,  
spontaneously composed visual narrative that includes animated film,  
vector generated graphics, and electro-acoustic musical  
improvisation, performed by Chase and Stolyar together.

The performers:
As a piano improviser, Roman Stolyar has collaborated with musicians  
from across the globe, including Anatoly Vapirov (Bulgaria), Carl  
Bergstroem-Nielsen (Denmark), Hans Schuettler, Heinz-Erich Goedecke,  
Ge-Suk Yeo (Germany),  free jazz groups Kieloor Entartet and Day &  
Taxi (Switzerland), the Cohen family (Israel) and others.  He has  
collaborated with numerous choreographers such as Nelson Fernandes,  
Christin Carter, Marina Collard (UK), Colin Connor (USA), Randall  
Scott (Holland), Torbjorn Sternberg (Sweden) and others. He has  
released CDs under the labels of Ermatell Records (Novosibirsk),  
Electroshock Records (Moscow) and Intuitive Records (Denmark).
In 2000 Stolyar was chosen as a member of the Russian Composers'  
Union. He became a Vice Chairman of Siberian branch of Composers'  
Union in 2001 and sits on the Board of Advisors of the International  
Society for Improvising Music.

Nicholas Chase has received numerous awards for his compositional  
work, including the Andy Warhol Prize given jointly by the  
Philadelphia Classical Symphony and the Philadelphia Academy of Fine  
Arts. Chase has been hailed as "brilliant" by Strad Magazine. The Los  
Angeles Times calls his work "flamboyant, avant-garde...brawling yet  
taut...the Rite of Spring meets Metallica." and the LA Weekly wrote  
of his short opera Twenty-two, "the human brain at its most  
imaginative." Chase is founder of the LA-based Musical Arts/Sound  
Laboratory (www.mas-lab.org) who premiered Yusef Lateef's String  
Quartet No. 1 (Bismilah) in collaboration with REDCAT in 2005, and
