sfSound Presents
a microFestival of New and Improvised Music

a three-day event that brings together some of the most creative musicians from Europe -- offering a spectacular range of musical aesthetics and spontaneous music making.

Each concert features the visiting artists performing their own repertoire, contrasted with sfSoundGroup's performance of classic avant-garde works. In addition, both groups collaborate in performances of compositions ranging from the spontaneous to highly structured. It's a rare and *affordable* opportunity to hear musical exchanges and cross-fertilization of genres and styles!


the !nternat!onal noth!ng
(Ka! Fagasch!nsk! & M!chael Th!eke, clarinets from Berlin, Germany)

John Cage - Music For____ (1984-7)
Morton Feldman - Projection 2 (1962)
sfSoundGroup

Ka! Fagasch!nsk! and M!chael Th!eke are members of Berlin's vibrant echtzeitmusik scene. the !nternat!onal noth!ng is their project working exclusively on compositions (no improv). Both instruments melt into one sound, sometimes sounding more than just two instruments through the extended use of multiphonics and difference tones. Their pieces have a delicate and slowed down quality and celebrate a unique and timeless beauty. They will present a collection of pieces developed between 2003 and 2009.

Complimenting the duo, sfSound performs experimental compositions by John Cage and Morton Feldman. The concert also features improvisations with the !nternt!onal noth!ng and members of sfSound.

Cost: $10
