X-SCAPE
new spaces for new music
San Francisco Contemporary Music Players 45th Anniversary, 2015-16 Season
X-scape is a season dedicated to exploring new spaces — both literal and metaphorical. By replacing “X” we are able to look at important spaces: from SongScape, an examination of the nature of utterance and communication; to XeriScape, which begs the question of the role of art in a discussion of climate change; to Oscuroscape, the nature of darkness.

Stanford, CA 94305]Thomas Dimuzio is a musician, composer, improviser, sound designer, mastering engineer, label proprietor, and music technologist residing in San Francisco, California. Inspired as much by John Cage as Led Zeppelin, Dimuzio's music is like a sonic excursion that transports the listener into other worldly aural realms. “His work has a narrative, filmic tug that will draw you into its dark corners, ears alert… brilliant and rarely less than entertaining.” —Peter Marsh, BBC
Thomas describes his performance:
"Sonic spatialization is the movement and positioning of sound within an array of speakers; a component of music composition for me that is equally important as the sound itself. Tonight’s performance will be presented in quadraphonic sound and centered around the Buchla 200e modular synthesizer with texture and spatial loopers/processors that I’ve designed in Max/MSP and Kyma. Together these comprise a palette for improvisation and real-time composition within time and space."

Ettrick
Electronics free, apocalypse-ready, go ahead and cut the power because Ettrick will wrench the furthest possible sounds from their instruments through brute force, screaming through saxophones, and getting impolite with their drums. This show marks the ten-year anniversary of
Jacob Felix Heule and Jay Korber's jazz/black metal drum and sax assault.
