Hey Zen-people,

A few Zentropy tidbits -

First - we are very pleased with our show yesterday at Presbyterian
College in Clinton, SC. It's very gratifying to play for such a
large, appreciative crowd, and it showed in our playing. We were ON!
Podcasts of our set there should be available soon.

We expect to be carrying that energy into a more intimate setting
when we return to Atlanta Soto Zen Center tomorrow night, for the
closing reception of their Zen & The Arts show. It's free, so come on
down! 1167 C/D Zonolite Place, Atlanta, GA, The event starts at 7,
and we'll play around 8.

Then next weekend, catch us at the Candler Park Festival - 2 PM on
Saturday the 10th.

More to come...

Thanks!

AWG, DP & GM

PS - We've tweaked our website. Check it out... zentropymusic.com.
There's a few "teaser" sound samples, and links to everything
Zentropy out there in cyberspace, where you find find full length
downloads and podcast of more Zen-music than you can imagine.

Well, not really. I guess the only things we have in common is that we're both trios - and each of us are somewhat spacey in our own way -

BUT -

Through a strange twist of events, we will be giving away two tickets to SEE the Flaming Lips at Chastain next Wednesday night. So now you have even MORE reasons to come get your Zen on this Saturday night. 8/22, at Eyedrum. 9:30, with special guest Burgess Penguin and Flickering Candle..

Hey all -

We'd like to introduce our brand new bass guy, Mr. Gabriel Monticello - Gabe lends his low-end acumen to our improvisatory Zen and the results are earthshaking.

Come and witness Gabe's Zentropy debut at Eyedrum on Saturday, 8/22. We'll be sharing the bill with two exciting new Atlanta improv bands, Flickering Candle and Burgess Penguin. Doors at 9, music at 9:30.

Fast forward a couple of weeks to 9/11 and 2/3rds of Zentropy (AWG on keys & Gabe on bass) will be doing an ambient set at the opening reception of "Zen and the Art of the Arts" art opening at the Atlanta Soto Zen Center (oddly appropriate venue, don't you think?), and then again, at the closing party on 10/02, we will return as a full trio and do a "band" set. More details to come...

And finally - we will be playing at the Candler Park FallFest on Sunday Oct. 11, at 2 PM. Save the date!

Thanks!

Hi all,

�

I want to invite everyone to attend a great show happening this Friday at the Eyedrum gallery. Kenosha Kid is an amazing original Athens Jazz/Post-Rock group, and tonight they are playing two sets: one strictly music set, and then they are performing music for the Buster Keaton classic, "Steamboat Bill Jr." This program has been performed in the States, Canada and on two trips to Europe. They are getting great reviews for their music, and I am so happy to have them at the Eyedrum.

�

Some of you might know that Eyedrum is facing some financial issues, and board members are currently exploring options so that they can continue to provide a great location for new music and art.�A testimonial - I have�cherished�the Eyedrum both as a patron and an artist - it offers artists the chance to blend experimental sights and sounds in a warm, inviting environment. There aren't many spots in the world where this is possible - the Eyedrum is a treasure! I hope you can join us for an incredible show tomorrow and show your support.�Eyedrum loves Atlanta!�

Kenosha Kid performs music to the Buster Keaton classic "Steamboat Bill Jr." - a
live jazz & silent film event at the Eyedrum Gallery on Friday July 24th.

Bandleader/composer/guitarist Dan Nettles has woven a stunning sonic tapestry
that fits alongside Buster Keaton's classic silent film "Steamboat Bill, Jr."
Although well steeped in the American jazz tradition, the music manages to defy
complete classification. Rather than focusing on long-winded soloing, the
emphasis is always on the total band sound, melody, texture, and solid grooves.
The event is designed to have something for everyone: It's a jazz concert� it's
a film� it's a chamber ensemble� it's a comedy� it's a rock band� it's all these
things rolled into one.

ABOUT THE MOVIE: 1928 black & white 73 minutes

Buster Keaton stars as Junior, a hapless college dandy forced to learn the ropes
of river-boating from his cantankerous father. Set on the Mississippi River,
"Steamboat Bill, Jr." is loaded with intricate sight-gags, acrobatic feats, and
cinematic ingenuity all leading to a climatic storm sequence like none other.

ABOUT KENOSHA KID:

DAN NETTLES: GUITAR, NEAL FOUNTAIN: BASS, MARLON PATTON: DRUMS

What does the South have to offer the modern jazz scene? This brilliant
configuration of Kenosha Kid is here to answer that question with its own
fermented blend of NYC hipster-jazz soaked in the humid college-rock town of
Athens, Georgia. With over ten years of experience performing together, Nettles,
Fountain, and Patton weave their way from one song to another with an uncanny
sense of telepathy. The melodies are haunting, the grooves are devastating, and
the focus is always on instrumentation, song arrangement, and band sound over
long-winded soloing.

More info, MP3's, and videos at:

Eyedrum is located at 290 MLK Jr. Dr. SE, Suite 8, Atlanta, GA 30312,
at the corner of Hill St. and M.L.K. Jr. Dr.
3 blocks west of historic Oakland Cemetery, on the west end of the Old Mattress
Factory complex.
Enter the chain linked gate, opposite DaddyD'z BBQ (the gate is open when

Binauralmedia and Nodar Artist Residency Center announce:

PAIVASCAPES #1

STRUCTURE, PROCESS AND PERCEPTION OF A RIVER

International Open Call for Art Projects

Selection of 12 art projects to be developed during several 2-week residency

modules to take place between February and October 2010.

Closing date for the open call: 30 September 2009

Art disciplines: Phonography; sound installation; vocal performance; sound

poetry; acoustic, electroacoustic or electronic improvisation / composition.

The Nodar Artist Residency Program for 2010 will have a single aggregating

subject: the Paiva River. Throughout the year, from winter to autumn,

several multidisciplinary art projects (having sound as a central element)

will be developed in a context-specific perspective, interacting with the

river�s different geographical areas, from its spring to its mouth. A

tribute to a small river that is a symbol of a region that (still) can live

in a well-balanced interaction with nature. Following the relationship that

exists between the village of Nodar and the Paiva River, which already

motivated the development of several art works, it was now decided to spread

this interaction to the whole course of the river, giving a sense of

coherence and plurality to the reflection, tracing continuity and rupture

lines, patterns, densities and transitional zones, either related with

geographical and human elements.

In the beginning of 2011 the several art works will be presented to local

audiences, in the context of an event that will include conferences,

concerts, video screenings and a retrospective exhibition of the whole

project. This exhibition will later follow an itinerancy through several

towns along the course of the Paiva River and will have an underlying

program of educational activities intended for children and youths.

Multi-Dimensional Control for Realtime Analog Synthesis Performance

The promise of electronic music has been, from the beginning, to provide the
composer with the means to create his or her own unique sounds and musics
without the need for intermediaries like performers and technicians. And the
problem with electronic music has been, from the beginning, to endow synthesized
sound with the same organic expressivity found in acoustic instruments and
natural sound while making synthesizers viable performance instruments in their
own right.

The first electronic instruments intended for performance, such as the Theremin
and the Ondes Martenot, while providing the performer with highly nuanced pitch
control, had limited sound-shaping control and could only play one note at a
time. The first modular analog synthesizers, while offering polyphony - the
ability to play multiple notes simultaneously - and unlimited sonic control, had
limited expressive performance control and were completely impractical for live
use.

There have been many attempts since then to integrate the unlimited potential of
modular analog synthesis with practical performance capabilities, and to provide
the electronic music composer/performer with the kind of expressive musical
control available in advanced acoustic instruments. Among of the most successful
and creative of these efforts are the Buchla 200e analog modular synthesizer and
the Haken Continuum Fingerboard.

Buchla's 200e is the first modular analog synth with patch memory and the
ability to re-route patchcords on the fly, making it an ideal instrument for
performance, capable of both the highest and lowest levels of control. The
Continuum is a unique multidimensional controller keyboard that senses direct
finger movement in three dimensions (X, Y, and pressure) for each of up to 16
fingers, making it one of the most advanced performance controllers available
today. Together, the 200e and the Continuum make for an electronic music
performance system of unparalleled expressivity and sensitivity.

In his workshop, Richard will demonstrate the synthesis and control functions of
the Buchla 200e with an emphasis on patch programming for maximum expressivity
under Continuum control. The workshop will include a live performance focusing
on the Continuum/Buchla 200e system's expressive control capabilities. Time
permitting, workshop attendees will also have the opportunity to play the system
themselves.

Mamori Sound Project
5th Annual Workshop/Residency for sound artists & composers
at Mamori Lake (Amazon, Brazil)
November - December 2009 / 2 weeks
http://www.franciscolopez.net/amazon.html

Conceived and directed by Francisco López
”Mamori Sound Project” is a 2-week workshop/residency for professional and semi-professional sound artists and composers with previous experience in the area of sound experimentation and field recordings. It takes place at Mamori Lake, in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon, and involves theoretical/discussion presentations, field work and studio work. The workshop/residency has a special focus on creative approaches to the work with field recordings, through an extensive exploration of natural sound environments. It does not have a technical character but is instead conceived and directed towards the development and realization of a collective project of sonic creation with the interaction of all participant artists/composers

Francisco López, director of “Mamori Sound Project”, is internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the experimental music and sound art scene. He is also a Ph.D. ecosystem biologist, with more than twenty years of teaching experience in Spain and Latin America. His experience in the field of sound creation and work with environmental recordings spans over a period of thirty years. His work has been released by more than 180 record labels worldwide and he has been awarded three times with honorary mentions at the competition of Ars Electronica Festival. He has realized hundreds of field recording projects, commissions, live performances, sound installations and workshops, as well as research in entomology and ecosystem dynamics, in 50 countries in the five continents, with a particular emphasis on tropical areas in the Americas, Africa and Australasia. He has been directing and organizing “Mamori Sound Project” since 2005 and he has a detailed sonic knowledge on its surrounding environments.

Multi-Dimensional Control for Realtime Analog Synthesis Performance

The promise of electronic music has been, from the beginning, to provide the
composer with the means to create his or her own unique sounds and musics
without the need for intermediaries like performers and technicians. And the
problem with electronic music has been, from the beginning, to endow synthesized
sound with the same organic expressivity found in acoustic instruments and
natural sound while making synthesizers viable performance instruments in their
own right.

The first electronic instruments intended for performance, such as the Theremin
and the Ondes Martenot, while providing the performer with highly nuanced pitch
control, had limited sound-shaping control and could only play one note at a
time. The first modular analog synthesizers, while offering polyphony - the
ability to play multiple notes simultaneously - and unlimited sonic control, had
limited expressive performance control and were completely impractical for live
use.

There have been many attempts since then to integrate the unlimited potential of
modular analog synthesis with practical performance capabilities, and to provide
the electronic music composer/performer with the kind of expressive musical
control available in advanced acoustic instruments. Among of the most successful
and creative of these efforts are the Buchla 200e analog modular synthesizer and
the Haken Continuum Fingerboard.

Buchla's 200e is the first modular analog synth with patch memory and the
ability to re-route patchcords on the fly, making it an ideal instrument for
performance, capable of both the highest and lowest levels of control. The
Continuum is a unique multidimensional controller keyboard that senses direct
finger movement in three dimensions (X, Y, and pressure) for each of up to 16
fingers, making it one of the most advanced performance controllers available
today. Together, the 200e and the Continuum make for an electronic music
performance system of unparalleled expressivity and sensitivity.

In his workshop, Richard will demonstrate the synthesis and control functions of
the Buchla 200e with an emphasis on patch programming for maximum expressivity
under Continuum control. The workshop will include a live performance focusing
on the Continuum/Buchla 200e system's expressive control capabilities. Time
permitting, workshop attendees will also have the opportunity to play the system
themselves.

A Brief History of Musical Tuning
by Jonathan Tennenbaum
Reprinted from FIDELIO Magazine,
Volume I, No. 1, Winter 1991-92

The first explicit reference to the tuning of middle C at 256
oscillations per second was probably made by a contemporary of J.S.
Bach. It was at that time that precise technical methods developed
making it possible to determine the exact pitch of a given note in
cycles per second. The first person said to have accomplished this was
Joseph Sauveur (1653-1716), called the father of musical acoustics. He
measured the pitches of organ pipes and vibrating strings, and defined
the ``ut'' (nowadays known as ``do'') of the musical scale at 256 cycles
per second.

J.S. Bach, as is well known, was an expert in organ construction and
master of acoustics, and was in constant contact with instrument
builders, scientists, and musicians all over Europe. So we can safely
assume that he was familiar with Sauveur's work. In Beethoven's time,
the leading acoustician was Ernst Chladni (1756-1827), whose textbook on
the theory of music explicitly defined C=256 as the scientific tuning.Up
through the middle of the present century, C=256 was widely recognized
as the standard ``scientific'' or ``physical'' pitch (see Figures 13 and
14).

In fact, A=440 has never been the international standard pitch, and the
first international conference to impose A=440, which failed, was
organized by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels in 1939.
Throughout the seventeeth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, and in
fact into the 1940s, all standard U.S. and European text books on
physics, sound, and music took as a given the ``physical pitch'' or
``scientific pitch'' of C=256, including Helmholtz's own texts
themselves. Figures 13 and 14 show pages from two standard modern
American textbooks, a 1931 standard phonetics text, and the official
1944 physics manual of the U.S. War Department, which begin with the
standard definition of musical pitch as C=256.[1]

Regarding composers, all ``early music'' scholars agree that Mozart
tuned at precisely at C=256, as his A was in the range of A=427-430.
Christopher Hogwood, Roger Norrington, and dozens of other directors of
orginal-instrument orchestras' established the practice during the
1980's of recording all Mozart works at precisely A=430, as well as most
of Beethoven's symphonies and piano concertos. Hogwood, Norrington, and
others have stated in dozens of interviews and record jackets, the
pragmatic reason: German instruments of the period 1780-1827, and even
replicas of those instruments, can only be tuned at A=430.

The demand by Czar Alexander, at the 1815 Congress of Vienna, for a
``brighter'' sound, began the demand for a higher pitch from all the
crowned heads of Europe. While Cclassical musicians resisted, the
Romantic school, led by Friedrich Liszt and his son-in law Richard
Wagner, championed the higher pitch during the 1830's and 1840's. Wagner
even had the bassoon and many other instruments redesigned so as to be
able to play only at A=440 and above. By 1850, chaos reigned, with major
European theatres at pitches varying from A=420 to A=460, and even
higher at Venice.

In the late 1850's, the French government, under the influence of a
committee of composers led by bel canto proponent Giacomo Rossini,
called for the first standardization of the pitch in modern times.
France consequently passed a law in 1859 establishing A at 435, the
lowest of the ranges of pitches (from A=434 to A=456) then in common use
in France, and the highest possible pitch at which the soprano register
shifts may be maintained close to their disposition at C=256. It was
this French A to which Verdi later referred, in objecting to higher
tunings then prevalent in Italy, under which circumstance ``we call A in
Rome, what is B-flat in Paris.''

Following Verdi's 1884 efforts to insitutitionalize A=432 in Italy, a
British-dominated conference in Vienna in 1885 ruled that no such pitch
could be standardized. The French, the New York Metropolitan Opera, and
many theatres in Europe and the U.S., continued to maintain their A at
432-435, until World War II.

The first effort to institutionalize A=440 in fact was a conference
organized by Joseph Goebbels in 1939, who had standardized A=440 as the
official German pitch. Professor Robert Dussaut of the National
Conservatory of Paris told the French press that: ``By September 1938,
the Accoustic Committee of Radio Berlin requested the British Standard
Association to organize a congress in London to adopt internationally
the German Radio tuning of 440 periods. This congress did in fact occur
in London, a very short time before the war, in May-June 1939. No French
composer was invited. The decision to raise the pitch was thus taken
without consulting French musicians, and against their will.'' The
Anglo-Nazi agreement, given the outbreak of war, did not last, so that
still A=440 did not stick as a standard pitch.

A second congress in London of the International Standardizing
Organization met in October 1953, to again attempt to impose A=440
internationally. This conference passed such a resolution; again no
Continental musicians who opposed the rise in pitch were invited, and
the resolution was widely ignored. Professor Dussaut of the Paris
Conservatory wrote that British instrument makers catering to the U.S.
jazz trade, which played at A=440 and above, had demanded the higher
pitch, ``and it is shocking to me that our orchestra members and singers
should thus be dependent upon jazz players.'' A referendum by Professor
Dussaut of 23,000 French musicians voted overwhelmingly for A=432.

As recently as 1971, the European Community passed a recommendation
calling for the still non-existent international pitch standard. The
action was reported in ``The Pitch Game,'' Time magazine, Aug. 9, 1971.
The article states that A=440, ``this supposedly international standard,
is widely ignored.'' Lower tuning is common, including in Moscow, Time
reported, ``where orchestras revel in a plushy, warm tone achieved by a
larynx-relaxing A=435 cycles,'' and at a performance in London ``a few
years ago,'' British church organs were still tuned a half-tone lower,
about A=425, than the visiting Vienna Philharmonic, at A=450.

Byron House is not a dude from nashville, although im sure they would
sometimes like to converge into one. Carlos is a guy behind this 3
piece from florida's nuts. been doing this thing for a good bit, when
i last saw them jamming on concrete slabs of Tampa it kinda ruled.

Divided Like A Saints is ex-atl now athens song writing show slamming
10 dancer dancing freakout with a chorus to boot, everytime witnessed
is heartfelt and pogo pounding.

Haves + Thirds is Todd of YuKhonic (Tampa) and Cephias Treat label
(Tampa2) and these are the reasons I am personally honored.

Pretzel Logic is 2 dudes from SC who moved here not long ago so its
like a breath of fresh air. rad showing at the blak casl in the fall!!!

Small Pox is a band i know little about but if you listen to the
myspace page you might be like, whoa, wow, thats pretty gritty and low
down and damn i guess i better get the fuck over to eyedrum now....

below you will find a PRESSS RELEASE:


Jonathan Vance Turns Divided Like a Saint's into UGA Degree

Athens, GA--Jonathan Vance of Athens band Divided Like a Saint's
announced this week that he plans to major in his band at the
University of Georgia.  "Divided Like a Saint's is already what I work
on the hardest, so I figured out how to make it apply toward a
diploma."  Vance is currently receiving university credit for Touring
and Mass Media, both classes that were not previously offered at UGA.
  For his senior thesis, Vance is planning a DLAS performance event at
the Orange Twin nature preserve in Athens on May 2, 2009.
"Touring class literally entails touring with Divided Like a Saint's,"
says Vance.  Former Cigar Store Indians bassist/booking agent and
Program Coordinator at UGA's Music Business program Keith Perissi is
acting as mentor to Vance for the class, along with electronic music
professor Dr. Leonard Ball.
Divided Like a Saint's growing tour schedule for 2009 extends into
March at the present, putting the group in Austin, Texas for South by
Southwest.  The current musical lineup includes Jonathan Vance on bass
and vocals, guitarist Timothy Vance (Oh No They Didn't), classical
percussionist Thomas Broadie (Rat Babies), sound artist Rob Peterson
(Dan Hole Pond), and guitarist Katy Wachol (Owl Hooves).  The group's
January 3 Eyedrum performance in Atlanta will include dancers from
both Athens and Atlanta:  Allison Barfield, Lydia Clark, Meghan
Thurman, Sarah Blackman, Terri Riccioti, Kelsey Brooks, Cherrise
Wakeham, and Maryn Vance.  Also, Maryn plans to recruit dancers from
some of the towns where they perform while on tour this year.
Visually, the show features the panels of a disassembled wire mesh
satellite dish 10 feet in diameter worn like backpacks, plus
multicolored skis, wigs, and braids.
Vance is also researching mass media for university degree credit.
This actual press release and any resulting press are part of that
research.
According to Perissi, if Vance completes these courses successfully,
he may help pave the way for UGA's Music Business program to teach
these subjects in regularly offered classes in the future.  "If major
universities legitimize this genre of art by offering degrees in it,
they may elevate the status of the genre,"  says Vance.  The actual
degree he is pursuing is in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis
in Live Art Production.  He plans to graduate in May 2009.
Divided Like a Saint's is currently working with budding Athens
label/collective Party Party Partners (dot com), an independent
operation headed by Mercer West (Mouser, Quiet Hooves).  With the
label's help, Vance has produced three albums this year, including 30
Days of Vance, July 2008, and the forthcoming January release Bazooka
Trilogy, which features a 1977 ARP 2600 analog synthesizer and 1-inch
analog tape.
Divided Like a Saint's perform at Eyedrum at 10pm January 3, 2009 with
Byron House (FL), Small Pox (Charleston, SC), Haves + Thirds (Tampa,
FL), and Pretzel Logic (Atlanta, GA).

Sensitive Chaos | Michael Thomas Roe | Masik | Earthgirl

8pm - Sensitive Chaos

Sensitive Chaos is the nom du plume of Jim Combs, a solo ambient
musician who works with audio and MIDI looping devices and was voted
"Best Local Electronic Act" in 2005 and 2007 by readers of Atlanta's
Creative Loafing.

The first Sensitive Chaos CD entitled Leak was deemed one of the
twelve best CDs of 2006 by Bill Binkelman of the New Age Reporter and
has received airplay since it was released in late 2006 from industry
heavyweights including Public Radio International's Echoes (145
stations across the U.S.), Soma FM's Space Station Soma and Cliqhop
idm, WWSP, WXDU, WUSM, WTUL, KRFC, WETX, WVKR WDIY, and KTUH.

9pm - Michael Thomas Roe

Atlanta-based electronic musician and composer Michael Thomas Roe is
currently collaborating with pioneering German electronic musician
Conrad Schnitzler (Kluster, Tangerine Dream) and working at feverish
pace to get KLUSTER 2008 out before year's end. KLUSTER 2007 was
released mid-2008 with Conrad and Japanese electronic musician Ooy
(Masato Ooyama).

Michael's current independent releases include "Memory" and "Treasure
Island", to name a few. He has also released "Cathedral" on the
TEKSOUNDS label (www.soundsforlife.com) and previously collaborated
with fellow synth artist Jim Combs in electronic duo Touchxtone, which
released 12 CD's and performed too numerous gigs to count from 2002 to
2005. Michael has also performed and recorded with Hawkwind-affiliated
space rockers Spaceseed. He somehow finds time to perform, produce and
record drums for Atlanta punk rock band Flat Cat.

10pm - M�sik

M�sik is a Multimedia Hybrid Performance Ensemble/Improvisational Jazz
Trio experimenting with the outer limits of what is accepted in
today's society. Jazz, Electronic, Surrealism, Funk, Dada, Dance,
HipHop, Metal, Avant, Folk & Freeform are just some of the styles
deconstructed and sometimes laced back together in an exploration of
culture.

Practices, performances & recordings are improvised, allowing a stream
of musical consciousness to constantly flow until the desired sound is
achieved. These methods allow for endless possibilities of creation
and mind/thought manipulation.

11pm - Earthgirl

Jeannie Allen is Earthgirl, whose music grows from sounds and feelings
on our planet, plus some imagined ones. A lone car driving by late at
night, far away thunder, the tapping of rain, and the swirls of
falling stars.

Earthgirl is a veteran of electronic music festivals around the
country including Different Skies 2008 in Arizona, electro-music 2008
in Tennessee, and City Skies 08 in Georgia. She also performs
regularly in her hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Jeannie has been inspired by new music created every day and by the
musical roots of Vince Clarke, Yaz, Erasure, Tangerine Dream,
Stereolab, Portishead, Moby, Brian Eno, ELO, Lou Reed, Syd Barrett,
Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, The Police, and Mozart, to name a few.

Earthgirl music combines ambient, experimental and found sounds to
create sonic soundscapes, that have attracted the the attention of
fans, musicians, and record labels around the globe. When the debut
album "Vibrations in Space" is released in 2008, all profits will go
for global warming relief in developing countries.
