(TV) Shameless yet last-minute self-promotion



Tonight! Thursday, April 6, 9PM to 10PM EDT (GMT - 4). 88.3 FM Pittsburgh, or http://www.wrct.org/ worldwide.
It's that time again--time for another set of large group structured 
improvisations known as Comprovisations & Impositions.  The last one 
yielded some really successful pieces...totalling 15 minutes in 
length, so I've been working on my randomizing conductor Javascripts, 
and we now have so many potential combinations that it would take 
centuries to go through them all...yet we only have an hour.  Expect 
plenty of guitars, a few non-guitars, and some surprises--hey, we'll 
be surprised, too.
Currently, the lineup:

Altos: the inescapable Mr. Funky and Pittsburgh music luminary Sam Matthews. Tenors: Glenn Branca Ensemble members Taichi Nakatani and aesthetic troublemaker Maurice Rickard. Bass: Avant-gardiste-about-town-and-elsewhere Stephen Pellegrino. Drums/percussion: master drummer/SCLF member Ryan Sigesmund and percussion innovator James Schaffer. What sampling kids are doing with Acid and Frootyloops, these guys are doing with sheer muscle and raw nerve.
Listen, and be elevated by hairpin turns of sudden invention and 
interpretation. Bask in the Outer Radiance of your mode of music 
consumption!  On the other hand, miss it, and be one of those people 
15 years from now lying about how you were there in the studio, and 
wasn't it great, maaaan, while the acidity of deception eats away at 
your blackened core. Or, y'know, just have something else to do. The 
choice is yours--and yet there is no delta of marginal utility!  How 
can you lose?
