Outsound Presents
Full Moon Concerts - Harvest Moon
8 pm: RTD3 - Ron Heglin, Tom Nunn, and Doug Carroll
9 pm: Potluck Percussion Harvest with Gino Robair! Bring him many things to improvise with as he pays tribute to Neil Young.

THE PROGRAM:

8 PM: RTD3's Corn Moon team consensus reads, "We're all essentially dogs and when the moon comes out we howl! The Harvest Moon is the full resonance of the summer with all the timbre of the earth and that which has grown and a marking of a kind of maturity of growth. Sonically this plays out from our experience of this moon. The full moon is also a trickster emotionally. Dancing spirits from the past frolic in the moonlight. Dead, yet, alive, they are always to be and never were.

9PM: This evening¹s solo performance features Gino¹s Potluck Percussion, where he plays only the objects presented to him by the audience. The evening is dedicated to Neil Young.

PERFORMER BIOS:

RTD3 features Ron Heglin, voice and trombone; Tom Nunn, elctroacoustic percussion; and Doug Carroll, cello. This SF Bay Area trio is dedicated to free improvisation. Drawing upon influences in classical and jazz domains, their sound is unique and imaginative. Their sonic landscapes propel the listener into a world of sound that is enigmatic, fanciful and chimeric.

Gino Robair has performed and recorded with Tom Waits, Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Nina Hagen, Terry Riley, Lou Harrison, John Butcher, Derek Bailey, Peter Kowald, Otomo Yoshihide, and the ROVA Saxophone Quartet. He is one of the "25 innovative percussionists" included in the book Percussion Profiles
(SoundWorld, 2001), as well as a founding member of the Splatter Trio and Pink Mountain. His opera, I, Norton, based on the life of Norton I, Emperor of the United States, has been performed throughout North America and Europe.

Cost: $6-10
