>Takagi Masakatsu (Japan) - Hope and empathy. Kyoto-based sound and vision
>artist, Takagi Masakatsu, finds his work infused with these themes.
>Takagi?s
>message resonates strongly at the best of times. At the worst... his music
>is a comfort and a reminder of the bigger picture of which we are all a
>small part.
>
>Takagi?s debut release is Pia, on New York?s Carpark label (home to
>releases
>from Marumari, Jake Mandell, So Takahashi and kid606) and includes a
>multimedia disc to accompany the music, interweaving snatched moments of
>docu-sonics: children talking and playing, people walking through the
>streets, nature interacting with our constructed cities. This is true
>musique concr?te: sound and video that Takagi, an accomplished artist in
>several fields, has traveled the world to record.
>
>Wot no tunes? Just think of it as a different sort of song - warmly
>atmospheric, unique found sounds arranged with Takagi?s synaesthetic feel.
>Engaging with it will not go unrewarded.
>
>Takagi was born and still resides in Kyoto, Japan, where he lives among the
>many ancient temples and gardens: Takagi?s grandfather is a monk at one of
>these temples. Such influences are apparent in Pia, where there is a
>simultaneous air of peacefulness and unrest.
>
>After producing video works for the Japanese multimedia group, Silicom
>(http://homepage.mac.com/silicom), Takagi?s video pieces have shown in art
>galleries throughout Japan. Starting in October, Takagi will bring his work
>to Europe and North America, touring with his laptop and DV camera.
>
>In addition to Pia, Takagi will release an album on Germany?s Karaoke Kalk
>label in 2002.

>Nudge (PDX) - This CD, Trick Doubt from Nudge is 3 years of shifting
>players
>and an ever-thickening cocoon of working methods being molded by an
>unerring
>sense of melody and drift belonging to Brian Foote. Stark, pleading
>interplay gives way to vast magnetic indulgence and back again. Addled
>programming meets human granular drumming and a strange new crunk is
>glimpsed, a party where tuning and time both get sprung. Brian and cohorts
>Mat Morgan (Fontanelle, CNS Engineering), Honey Owens (TraLaLa, Jackie-O
>Motherfucker), Elton Lawson (Metatron), Andy Brown (Fontanelle,
>Southerning), and Paul Dickow (Fontanelle, Strategy) have managed to
>swindle
>emotions from unsuspecting machines. Now the machines are looking to ease
>the pain.
>
>Dave Gross (MA): Labeled as "One of Boston's steadfast explorers," by Bob
>Blumenthal of the Boston Globe, saxophonist and clarinetist David Gross
>discovered the world of improvised music while studying with Yusef Lateef
>at
>Hampshire College. He has performed with Le Quan Ninh, Eddie Prevost, Bob
>Marsch, Martin Tetrault,
>Glenn Spearman, Raphe Malik and many members of the Boston free-improv
>scene
>including Bhob Rainey, Greg Kelley, and Laurence Cook. Currently, Gross is
>transforming the saxophone into exactly what it is: a metal tube with keys,
>mouthpiece, and a reed. Reviews of his recordings, on his own Tautology
>label, with ensembles EED and FETISH, have ranged from "The range of
>textured noise that he cajoles from his instrument is impressive" to
>"lengthy episodes of fingernails ripping at a blackboard."
>
>Jason Glover is just really curious about what kind of angels or demons can
>be conjured up through sound. He was in a group called astronomeous with
>Chris Rice and Ian Nagoski for about a year in Newark, Delaware. Jason
>eventually got the hell out of Delaware, while Chris and Ian went on to
>publish Halana magazine. Relocating to Seattle in 1996, Jason met up with a
>self-employed seamstress, Lisa Defrance, and a nomadic painter, Seymour
>King, where they began to play Tripod music. They have since presented
>Tripod music throughout the country. Whether with in or out of Tripod,
>Jason is dedicated to accessing the unknown and the vulnerable, and
>surprising himself and anyone willing to listen, to sound without
>parameters, usually through some sort of plugged in device, but also an
>impressive assortment of third world trinkets, western classical
>instruments, or maybe just the objects and the resonances provided by the
>room.
>
>Tucker Dulin has performed all over the country in many contexts including
>the Boston Philharmonic, SONOR, Klaresque Ensemble, Callithumpian Consort,
>Mass Eye and Ear, and the Masashi Harada Ensemble. He is currently working
>on a DMA in contemporary music at UC, San Diego, with Bertram Turetzky,
>George Lewis, and Charles Curtis. He specializes in post-war solo and
>chamber repertoire for the trombone. He has played with Bhob Rainey, Eddie
>Prevost, Steve Drury, Greg Kelley, George Lewis, Pauline Oliveros,
>Benjamin,
>Zander, James Coleman, and Randy Brecker. His trio, IIBasspit, with Seth
>Cluett and Mike Bullock, has performed throughout the US.
>
>Free improviser Michael Bullock has played bass in 8 countries, on a dozen
>records, and in a variety of bands, touring extensively both solo and as
>part of various ensembles. He has also played with well-known improvisers
>such as Eddie Provost, L? Quan Ninh, and Peter Kowald, in addition to
>working with numerous members of Boston's improvised music community. Two
>of
>his current obsessions include IIbasSpit, an electro-acoustic trio with
>Tucker Dulin (trombone) and Seth Cluett (bass, voice) which is planning a
>CD
>release this year; and an ongoing curiosity with acoustic feedback. Bullock
>has released recordings on such diverse labels as Emanem, Rounder, and
>Naxos. His first release as a leader, [there the eye goes not;] (Tautology
>006), featuring rising stars Bhob Rainey, BrendaHopkins Miranda, and
>Tatsuya
>Nakatani was released in 1999. Of the disk, Derek Taylor of Cadence
>magazine said: "The real joy of this quartet is their shared origin which
>is
>translated into a confidence of purpose. . .[Bullock] and his peers are
>excellent examples of improvisers who are constantly and uncompromisingly
>exploring the unmapped nooks and crannies of audible sound."
