-------------------
Eugene Martynec (electroacoustics), Bill McBirnie (flute), Bill Gilliam (piano) are very excited to present our next Art of Improv show featuring our special guest composer and performer Gayle Young at Annette Studios.
Set 1 - Eugene Martynec, Bill McBirnie, Bill Gilliam
Set 2 - Gayle Young will perform two short pieces on the Amaranth and solo improvisations. One of them will include lithophone stones. She will also play improvisations that include Eugene Martynec, Bill McBirnie and Bill Gilliam in different configurations. Her improvisations place interaction among musicians in the foreground of a listener’s experience, when sounds and textures are echoed, shared, and extended.
-------------------
Young designed and built the 24-stringed Amaranth that will be featured in this concert. Originally intended to facilitate flexible tunings, the Amaranth also offers a wide range of sonic textures.
Her recent recordings "As Trees Grow" (works for piano) and "According to the Moon" (works for voice), are both available through gayleyoung.bandcamp.com. Young’s sound installations, often in collaboration with visual artist Reinhard Reitzenstein, include tuned resonators that respond to environmental sound, found objects such as resonant stones and beaver-chewed sticks, and room-sized three-dimensional string structures. Young wrote The Sackbut Blues, the biography of pioneering electronic instrument inventor Hugh Le Caine (1914–1977). As editor of Musicworks magazine over two decades, she established an inclusive perspective on the complex and multifaceted sound worlds that characterize experimental music.
