</div>Thank you for visiting the web site of the <b>Audible Think: Improvised Music Series and Concerts, </b>founded by <a href="http://andymcwain.blogspot.com/">jazz pianist and composer Andy McWain</a>. After six amazing years of performances (each year from Sep-May, with the occasional hiatus!), Audible Think has transitioned from a twice-monthly to a periodic <b>Concert Presenter</b>. All of the great musicians (local, regional, national, and international) that participated in the series of the years deserve the credit for the success of the series with their amazing performances which we will not soon forget! (Feel free to peruse the archived posts in the right margin of this page.)<br />
<br />
The demands of life (!) have made it so that the regular series is impossible to maintain, but the cool spirit of those shows, gigs, events, happenings, "shoulda-been-theres", and more, will continue as occasional special concerts, which are in the planning stage now. Please <b>bookmark</b> this site, and check back here for updates!<br />

This live performance by Fried Fried and CORE celebrating the CD release of Fred Fried and Core: CORE 3.0. From Fred Fried: "This is my latest CD and I’m tremendously happy about it. Those of you who have heard my group at Bubala’s in Provincetown will be familiar with bassist Michael Lavoie and drummer Miki Matsuki. They are absolutely wonderful musicians and it was a ball working with them on this recording of all original tunes. This also marks my first trio CD with my nylon 8-string guitar. Built by Luthier Steve Connor it has a low A below the low E and a high A above the high E and sounds amazing.<br />

That is, I can sit down and improvise inner lines or bass lines or comp under a melody or improvised line. I have developed the ability to harmonize a melody any number of ways. This doesn’t mean that I won’t just let fly on a single line solo. I certainly enjoy that, but I think the harmonic and pianistic aspects of my playing give the guitar greater dimension. I don’t, however, consider this a tremendous feat in any way. It’s just the way I have trained myself to play and I consider myself very fortunate in that over time a very distinctive sound and style has evolved.</span></td><td align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" valign="top" width="344"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

In their improvisations they investigate the minuscule details within the sonic palette of their instruments by “zooming in” to a whole new world of sonic textures. With the help of some analog electronics, they place their sounds under an imaginary microscope, to orchestrate the overtones, micro-beats, wind flows, clicking of the pads, impact of the stick on the drumhead, and sub tone effects, without losing their strong sense of melody and groove. They also share an interest in improvising with multiple-tempo layerings, melodic cells, cut and paste methods, extended techniques and integrating uncommon (analog) instruments such as the Autoharp and the Lyricon. Their music shows influences from Ornette Coleman, Steve Lacy, György Ligeti, and Conlon Nancarrow, as well as minimalists like Morton Feldman, and ambient music pioneer Brian Eno. Their debut CD “Sequence” on Trytone Records has received critical acclaim in the international press.</div><br />

The critical press compares his clear, flexible sound and lyrical improvisation to Ornette Coleman, Paul Desmond and John Zorn, showing the broad spectrum of his saxophone style. Besides the alto saxophone he plays the Lyricon (the first electronic wind instrument from the 70’s) and uses electronics to process his saxophone sounds live on stage. He has released ten CDs of his own music on the Songlines, BVHaast, Trytone, Skycap and Clean Feed labels, and he has worked with Anthony Braxton, Gerry Hemingway, Herb Robertson, Barre Phillips, John Butcher, Willem Breuker, and Guus Janssen. In 1995 he received the prestigious Podium Prize from the Dutch Jazz Foundation, and in 1998 a Fulbright grant to study and teach at the New England Conservatory in Boston. As a composer, Jorrit has written commissions for the Amstel Saxophone Quartet, Tetzepi Big Band, Kaida, Duo X, and The Harvard Jazz band. Jorrit is current projects include The Flatlands Collective (with musicians from Chicago) and his eight-piece ensemble Pillow Circles, commissioned by the North Sea Jazz Festival 2009. In Boston he is active with Curt Newton, Pandelis Karayorgis, James Coleman and Steve Drury.</div><br />

Building on a wealth of experience in jazz and world styles as well as a deep interest in contemporary composition and spiritual practice, he has forged a lyrical new musical language, as accessible and expressive as it is advanced. He has worked with many of the world’s leading musicians in jazz (Bob Brookmeyer, Fred Hersch, Tony Malaby, the Village Vanguard Orchestra, Kenny Wheeler), world music (Pablo Ziegler), and new music (Meredith Monk). John Hollenbeck was named as both the Rising Star Composer and the Rising Star Arranger of the Year in the 2008 & 2009 Down Beat Magazine’s Critics Poll. Down Beat magazine has in previous years recognized him as a “Rising Star” in the Composer, Jazz Artist, Arranger, Big Band, and Jazz Group (Claudia Quintet) categories. John’s first large ensemble recording, A Blessing, received a 2006 Grammy Nomination, and in 2007, John was awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship. In 2009, John self-released a CD of chamber music, “Rainbow Jimmies”, comprised of recent commissioned pieces which feature: The Claudia Quintet, Mark Stewart, Todd Reynolds, Ethos Percussion Group, Youngstown State Percussion Ensemble and Saxophone Quartet. In addition, the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble released its second recording, “eternal interlude” in August 2009.

M. Harjito will take place at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at 7 pm. Guest artists will include vocalist Srihadeni Harjito and dancer Triwik Harjito. The event, which is sponsored by the UMass Dartmouth Music Department and College of Visual and Performing Arts, will be held in room 104 in the College of Visual and Performing Arts building Group VI, on the main campus in North Dartmouth. <br /><br />The event is free and open to the public. Parking is available in lots 8 and 9. Anyone interested in additional information about this special concert event can contact professor royal hartigan by telephone at (508) 999-8572.<br /><br />About the Artists<br /><br />Professor I. M. Harjito of Wesleyan University in Connecticut is acknowledged as one of the foremost musicians and composers of gamelan music in the world today. In addition to teaching at Wesleyan University, he is also a visiting professor of music at Brown University, the University of Chicago, the New York City Gamelan, as well as UMASS Dartmouth. He is also a regular guest artist at concerts of gamelan music throughout the United States and the world. He has composed many traditional and contemporary pieces for gamelan, including collaborations with tap dance, symphony and chamber orchestra, bagpipes, and jazz.<br /><br />Srihadeni Harjito is a master dancer who also is a reknown vocalist in the Javanese tradition. She has taught at Wesleyan University and performed throughout the world.<br /><br />Triwik Harjito has performed Indonesian dance and traditional music with many master artists in the United States and Indonesia.<br /><br />About Javanese gamelan<br /><br /> The Gamelan is an ancient orchestra from Indonesia dating back many centuries. It includes tuned gongs, metallophones, a wooden marimba, 2-string violin, bamboo flute, zither, and male and female singing. The instruments are played in a modal polyphony - many layers of sound - that function to outline structure, to control time and rhythm, and to state a basic melody known as the balungan (‘skeleton’). The melody is then enhanced by recreating it in complex patterns of improvisation. It was traditionally played in villages and in the royal courts in Indonesia and is related to other gong chime ensembles of Southeast Asia, such as the Philippine kulintang. Gamelan music can accompany dance and drama – such as the wayang kulit shadow puppet theater – or be performed instrumentally, known as klenengan. <br /><br />The program will include:<br /><br />1. Ladrang Wilejung, sléndro pathet manyura.<br /><br />2. Ladrang Naglarirasa, sléndro pathet manyura.<br /><br />3. Ladrang Semburat Wangi, sléndro pathet manyura.<br /><br />4. Lancaran Kotek, sléndro pathet manyura.<br /><br />5. Ayakan, Srepegan, sampak, sléndro pathet manyura.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
