FORNAX LINTEUM: ANDREW JORON, JOSEPH DEE BRADSHAW, JANEL WAGNER

Oakland musicians Nathan Clevenger, Jordan Glenn, and Cory Wright share a long and entwined history of collaboration across various projects, including Wiener Kids, Ashen Cleric, and Fellow Hominids. Formed in 2021, the trio has released 3 albums and initiated a series of collaborations with guests artists, including Kasey Knudsen, Crystal Pascucci, Phillip Greenlief, Marié Abe, and Safa Shokrai. Working from, between, and against Clevenger’s compositional frames and utilizing the multi-instrumental flexibility of each player, the trio (and guests) weaves between non-idiomatic improvisation and often gnomic composed material, with focus on spaciousness and timbral detail. For tonight’s performance, the trio is joined by vocalist Danishta Rivero and trumpeter ARI BROWN.


FORNAX LINTEUM is a free improv trio consisting of ANDREW JORON (theremin), JOSEPH DEE BRADSHAW (guitar), and JANEL WAGNER (voice). Andrew Joron is a theremin player who has performed in a variety of experimental and jazz ensembles, including the duo Fornax Linteum, the free-improv quartet Ouroborous, and Evidence Trio. Joseph Dee Bradshaw is a guitarist and improviser based in Oakland. Janel Wagner is a classically trained vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist rooted in jazz and folk traditions.

DOMI + KAITLIN MCSWEENEY + K. FRANCIS MESSER
Ken Ueno + Matt Ingalls

DOMI, KAITLIN MCSWEENEY, and K. FRANCIS MESSER are an experimental trio blending electro-acoustic composition and improvisation with prepared drums, scrap metal, cello, movement, voice, amplifiers, and salvaged resonant objects. Out of a receptive summoning, distinct voices emerge and impress upon each other, moving with and in contrast, inter-penetrating and gravitating towards a common orbit of evolving conditions. The trio welcomes sonic feedback as a fourth collaborator with elements of ritualistic repetition and deep listening.


For over a decade, the duo of Ken Ueno (vocals) and Matt Ingalls (clarinet) has presented their unique arsenal of extended techniques for an experience that defies classical expectations of sounds that can be made on voice and clarinet. Composer/vocalist/sound artist Ueno is a recipient of the Rome Prize and the Berlin Prize and currently a Professor at UC Berkeley. He sings overtones, multi-band multiphonics, sub-tones, and throat sings. Oakland-based Ingalls' clarinet technique includes circular-breathing, multiphonics, various breath effects, and a unique hybrid-timbre polyphonic effect.
