Deconstruction Orchestra
Josh Allen - tenor saxophone/conduction, Henry Kaiser - guitar, Tim Duff - double bass, William Winant - drums, John Finkbeiner - guitar, Kurt Ribak - double bass, Philip Everett - drums, Steve Adams - sopranino saxophone Rent Romus - alto saxophone, Samuel Arthur Flores - tenor saxophone, Dan Plonsey - baritone and soprano saxophones, Jason Berry - soprano saxophone, Tom Weeks - alto saxophone, Joshua Marshall - tenor saxophone, John Vaughn - baritone saxophone, Aaron Bennett - soprano saxophone, Nick Obando - alto saxophone, Jeff Hobbs - alto saxophone, Dave Slusser - tenor saxophone, Caez Drachen - trumpet George Moore - trumpet, Matt Gaspari - flugel horn, Zach Mariano - trombone
San Francisco-based composer-bandleader Josh Allen and his high-energy innovative 25-piece Deconstruction Orchestra will perform a series of cell structure game compositions. Melding together post-modern, free jazz, non-idiomatic improvisation from San Francisco’s vast highly diverse contemporary music scenes, the Deconstruction Orchestra is inspired by the large ensemble works of late 20th century composer/directors such as Marco Enedi, Cecil Taylor, and the works of Butch Morris, and Kim Richmond. Under the direction Joshua Allen, the orchestra creates a powerfully cathartic architecture of sound creating a sonic space around the listener and redefining the purpose of the large ensemble.  More...

“The World of Dogs” is an allegorical tale about facing a difficult problem and a solution that seems too easy, too simple, and too good to be true, and the disastrous consequences that come from choosing that solution.

On the night of December 17th, at the Ridge in Oakland, Roger Kim and Portrait Maker will present this tale through music, narration, dance, and video.

Wed 12/21 7:45 PM Second Act [1727 Haight St. SF]
XOME vs Tralphaz
Cardigan clad singer songers know that if not for a millimeter of insulation, electrons will surge across the salt copper barrier jolting them into grotesque twitching puppets of highspeed meat. Noise legend, Xome, knows not just that sweaters are stupid but how to run the surge back both ways, bringing the entire city grid to heel. Once Xome hoists the electron gate off its hinges, look for Tralphaz playing tesla cats-cradle with the arcing waveforms steering them down our spines. Hopefully enough of us will show up to act as ground. Should be fun.

Midmight
A lampshade with four limbs protruding—five if you count the hockey stick—agitates a menagerie of electronics: a Roland GR 77 bass synth sprouts shag carpet between your toes, a Jayemsonic Resonator Neuronium blushes back at the lampshade, and that hockey stick bass starts hooking ankles. You start to hear field recordings of parades long past but still marching, pullstring electronic toys, and songs of the deceased while an impatient Sirkut SNB asks if we’re there yet.

Waxy Tomb
Julia Litman-Cleper is a San Francisco native specializing in bodily electronic alienation. Since sensory organs are one step from "knobs" interfacing us with external substance, now's the time we must seize the means of production. Reach into your waxy stuff, rearrange your dials, previct all landlords, and empty the mind jail.
