Los Angeles, CA, June 10, 2007 - Saahweeeeet! That's what the duo ing is. They are sweet, and our room makes them even sweeter. Sometimes they improvise other than music, and it's all sweet. They are playing every Thursday in June for our "Is It Music?" series at Dangerous Curve. Other greats are here this week, too, such as the legendary Vinny Golia, along with some women and some ambient masters. Meet them all in our living room---er, gallery---listen, have a chat with them, learn from them.
The evening of Thursday, June 14, 2007, starting at 8:00 p.m., we will again present the delightful duo ing http://myspace.com/ingtree, plus Calibungi Sergeants http://ballbearingspinatas.com. They all will be doing quiet music.
The evening of Friday, June 15, 2007, starting at 8:00 p.m., we will present Vinny Golia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinny_Golia, and the all-women trio of Sara Schoenbeck http://www.myspace.com/saraschoenbeck, Jessica Catron http://www.myspace.com/jessicacatron, and Cat Lamb http://catlamb.com.

More about the Musicians/Artists
The Calibungai Sergeants http://ballbearingspinatas.com are Andrew Epstein, and Thomas Yee. Together, they are three, or so it seems. Anthems, kitchen seances: many, many treats and surprises. Expect them when you least expect them. The perfect compliment to ing.
ing http://myspace.com/ingtree, www.ingismaxandjohn.com are Max Markowitz and John Wood. Innocence abounds with these two truly evolved spirits. They raise yours by putting you at the doorstep of the gods. The Golden Years never left these guys, even though they went to Cal Arts. They just ended a stint with their Origins of the Rainbow series at Machine Project http://www.machineproject.com/past.
Sara Schoenbeck http://www.myspace.com/saraschoenbeck expands the sound and role of the bassoon in both contemporary notated and improvised music. The Wire magazine places her in "the tiny club of bassoon pioneers at work in contemporary music today." The New York Times has called her "riveting, mixing textural experiments with a big, confident sound." Widely written about, she has performed internationally, with the likes of The Anthony Braxton 12+1, Vinny Golia's Large Ensemble, Wayne Horvitz's Gravitas Quartet, Adam Rudolph's Go Organic Orchestra, Ensemble Green, and Mladi Chamber Ensemble, plus various jazz and hip hop orchestras. She has improvised with Yusef Lateef, Gino Robair, Fred Frith, John Butcher, Mark Dresser, Pauline Oliveros, Wadada Leo Smith, and Nels Cline, among others.
Jessica Catron http://www.myspace.com/jessicacatron is a freelance cellist based in Los Angeles, California. Over the last seven years, she been devoted almost entirely to new music, composition, experimental sound, and improvisation. She's performed around the world, most recently at the Seattle Improvised Music Festival, Vancouver's Sonic Boom Festival, the CEAIT Festival at REDCAT, the .sound. series at the Schindler House, the Indiana Lotus Festival, Boston's NEMO Festival, California WorldFest, the Getty's Friday Night Series and Summer Sessions, la Festival de Musica Contemporanea in Bogota, Colombia, and the Lincoln Center's Out-of-Doors Festival. She has also done many recordings and soundtracks, including original music for Paramount Classics' "Mean Creek," and Sony Pictures' "Levity" and "The Covenant." Currently, she's working with Carla Bozulich on "The Night Porter." She's also in The Microscore Project, an ongoing chamber-duo with violinist Johnny Chang, th!
e pop band Dreaming Ferns, the vocal quintet VOCO, and Missincinatti with guitarist Jeremy Drake.
Cat Lamb http://catlamb.com is a composer and violist currently residing in Los Angeles. She uses intricate and intuitive forms to dissolve time, infuse pitches, and shape-shift stringed instruments into differing resonating bodies, using the relationships and ratios in which they are tuned. She explores radical acoustics and the placement (or displacement) in which a performer sits inside {a body} and its environment.
Vinny Golia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinny_Golia is a CalArts instructor originally from New York, who's used his visual art as a basis for musical compositions. He plays a ton of reed instruments. In 1982, he founded a huge (37 pieces) ensemble, The Vinny Golia Large Ensemble, as a way of bringing together getting diverse camps of Los Angeles musicians. From his interview with Sebastien Moig http://membres.lycos.fr/jazzosphere/golia.htm:
Ken Rosser http://www.kenrosser.com, http://www.myspace.com/kenrosser is a freelance guitarist.
Andre LaFosse http://www.altruistmusic.com, http://www.myspace.com/andrelafosse has spent over half his life charting the common ground between "live" and "electronic" music. He's a guitarist, looper, producer, engineer, MIDI programmer, composer, and improviser. The duality of guitar performance and electronic sound manipulation, performance verses production, organic and synthetic, has been perhaps the single most defining factor in LaFosse's music. His years at CalArts covered a wide array of studies: electric guitar with Miroslav Tadic, jazz with Larry Koonse and Wadada Leo Smith, guitar synthesizer with Stuart Fox, North Indian/Hindustani classical music with Dr. Rajeev Taranath, Javanese gamelon with Pok Djoko Waludjo. He was also in innumerable ensembles blending rock, fusion, world music, and live electronic performance. He was mentioned in Guitar Player magazine when he was 21. His sound is both intensely organic and unmistakably digitized, with Andre utilizin!
g percussive slaps, harmonics, and extended techniques to create a sound more in common with drum machines and crates of vinyl than with any conventional ideas about the electric guitar. He filters post-DJ culture through his own instrument: turning production-based studio concepts into a performance-oriented live discipline, and making technology subordinate to the whims of an instrumental improviser.
Bill Forth of Lives of the Saints http://livesofthesaints.net, http://www.myspace.com/livesofthesaints is a guitarist who has worked with Robert Fripp and The League of Crafty Guitarists, plus the band Ten Seconds. He also spent several years working on the crew of Robert Fripp's Soundscapes tours. Need we say more?

Please adopt animals from local animal care facilities, rescue groups, and shelters rather than purchasing them from breeders or pet stores, and have your companion animals spayed or neutered.
Did you know that if everyone in LA who already has a cat adopted just one shelter cat around every 15 years, not one would have to die? Look on http://laanimalservices.com/adoptsearchphotos.htm to choose one of them today!
