house show this weekend My friend Seth Nehil is hosting an informal concert at his house Saturday night. I wrote a piece for piano, synthesizer and field recordings that we will perform with Matt Marble. Also, pianist Tom Grzinich is in town from Austin, and recent transplant to PDX Zach Wallace will be performing as well.

Here's more info:

House concert - solos, trios, others
Saturday September 8th, 2007 at 8pm
4605 NE 13th Ave (NW corner of Going & 13th)

Tom Grzinich is traveling from Austin, Texas via
Alaska where he was gutting fish. He coaxes rich
piano chords repetitively, hypnotically, convincingly
- creating huge overtone clouds and elusive melodies.

Zach Wallace recently moved to Portland from upstate
NY, via Michigan where he was collecting soil. In the
past he has played bass for Tony Conrad and His Name
is Alive, among others. He has degrees in composition
and biology. His music finds a place where those two
interests meet.

Matt Carlson lives in Portland. He plays keyboards
and electronics in the Parenthetical Girls and Bonus,
as well as composing for ensembles and performing
solo. See/hear more at

Matt Marble lives in Portland has composed/improvised
works for chamber groups, film, theatricals, dance,
c.d., stereo diffusion, and multimedia performance.
Since 2005 he has focused on scoring for leaderless
collectives, involving biological rhythms,
social-attentional networks, and processes of
self-organization. See/hear more at

Seth Nehil also lives in Portland and works with
recorded sound. He is currently scoring Linda Austin
and Dancers full-length piece Circus Me Around to
premier in late October, and his CD with Boston
composer Brendan Murray called Sillage will be out
next week. See/hear more at
