The Bran (Another plight of medic¹sS) Pos is the ongoing sound
performance and recording project of Jake Rodriguez from San
Francisco, CA. The project in sound balances a fine line between
harsh noise, 20th/21st Century experimental
exploration/improvisation, heavy psychedelia, opera, and modern
electronic music. The technical siphoning of the natural
unpredictable qualities of the voice as a source and trigger for far
more unworldly electronic sounds combined with the manhandling of the
synthesizer into a form equally as malleable and skippy makes up much
of what is heard at a Bran(...)Pos performance. Rodriguez has been
seriously tinkering with this sound since 1993, but as an extension
of performance that he has been involved in since the late 70s. He
has performed in theater, radio, TV, and film since childhood and
considers the Bran (S) Pos to be a further extension of a single
continuum that began with roles in countless industrial and
educational films as well as appearances on an ABC Movie of the Week
and the short-lived All in the Family spin-off, Gloria. Many of these
small films have been since forgotten and most have never even been
seen by Rodriguez so he welcomes any leads anyone may have regarding
these. Note that his professional name at the time was Jacob Donner,
so scan your late 70s/early 80s educational/industrial/student films
for one Jacob Donner and contact the Bran (S) Pos.
The Oxygen Ensemble is a group of musicians first gathered together
as the Attention Deficit Disorder ensemble, which began a weekly gig
at The Rainbow in July 1999 on Monday nights. This ensemble performed
free form jazz excursions. The Oxygen Ensemble is Peter Reilly
(guitar), Dave Carter (trumpet), Franklin Mazzeo (drums, sampler),
Thomas Bell (bass) and Les (electronics). The ensemble put together
a CD "Memorial Day Highlights" and is finishing work on a second soon
to be released CD "Year of The Dragon"
Mothra, features Jim Knodle on trumpet, Cedric Ross on bass and
Eveline Müller-Graf on trap drums. Mothra engages in the most
interesting sonic collection, placing their focus on the tunes they
create ranging from the avant-garde to the downright disorderly. The
trio explores their musical ideas with the ease of a 7 year old girl
drinking her favorite milkshake. Eveline's drums rock everything
West of Zürich. Cedric's bass makes your feet melt. Knodel's
trumpet is an answer looking for a question.
