Sunday, October 4 | 7:30 PM · West Oakland Sound Series, West Oakland Sound Series, [2201 Poplar Street Dresher Ensemble Studio Oakland]. James Fei performs his “The Nerve Meter,” where microphones distributed in the performance space are connected to two Frequency Shifters and fed back through loudspeakers, creating inherently unstable patterns that are dependent on interactions of the electronics as well as the acoustics of the room. Matt Davignon performs on the Boss DR-770 drum machine—the core instrument behind most of his music over the past two decades. Davignon will exploit the device’s internal sounds and tools to build complex ever-changing musical passages, without his usual pedal effects and looping devices. What happens when three stalwarts of the Bay Area improvised/noise/jazz/rock/ experimental scene collide in real time? Find out when LEAKING’S atmospheric river of sound hits the Dresher studio.
