1) 18:43
’Moosbruger’ was recorded on the occasion of my first public collaboration with Paul Metzger. Before the concert, and for a number of
reasons, my thought was that, when my name was drawn for a solo, I’d be playing drum set. But, as befits the spirit of improvisation (the moment), I grabbed the B flat clarinet, and then, echoing the first time I played piano in public (1971), moved off stage to the prepared piano remains, where the two instruments conjoined. “Ulrich” is a self-contained section of a set-long {drum} solo I played at the Art of This Gallery’s Tuesday Night Improvised Music Series. ‘Moosbruger’ was recorded on March 21, 2009. ‘Ulrich’ was recorded on January 20, 2009.
–Milo Fine
I created the Spontaneous Composition Generator to produce a random series of musical actions. It is a device consisting of 37 altered music box movements mounted in a wooden painter’s box. The alterations include dampening, detuning, replacing, removing, doubling, and reversing the tines. Most of the original melody pins on the cylinders were removed. Rubber bands of various lengths and thicknesses were attached to the winding stems to facilitate a continuously variable tension. One dozen hand-wired piezo pickups are attached to output a stereo signal. The piece on this recording was created November 9, 2009 with a time of 18:43. It was specifically made as a complement to Milo’s contributions to this Nero’s Neptune LP.

Carol Genetti is a vocalist, composer and installation artist. Her work is
focused on the interplay between the voice as an expressive musical
instrument and its extension into the sound-making realm. She has studied
a variety of techniques including Western singing, Hindustani classical
voice and Bulgarian folk music. Through these studies and her own
explorations, she has developed a personal yet universal palette that is
an abstraction of “extended” voice sounds — breaths, overtones, and
disconnected textual bits, squeaks, growls, non-verbal tones – sounds that
evoke unconscious emotions and human physicality.

Jacob Wick was born near Chicago, IL in 1985. An “edgy, fiercely smart
improviser” (Philadelphia Weekly), who Downbeat calls “exciting and
curious,” his playing has been described as everything from “inhuman”
(Chicago Reader) to “a Shakespeare soliloquy” (allaboutjazz.com).
As a composer, performer, and improviser, his goal is not necessarily to
cross boundaries, but rather to inhabit and exploit them. To this end, he
leads or co-leads several groups, all exploring the soft tissue that binds
genres, forms, and practices.
Jacob’s visit to minneapolis coincides with the final leg of his project
“ROAD TRIP: drawing a perimeter of the united states”. more details about
ROAD TRIP may be found at here

Aaron Zarzutzki is a improviser of various sorts. He works primarily with
misuse and perversion of objects and systems. Virtuosity, volatility,
futility, and capability are thought of. Zarzutzki currently lives, works,
and plays in Chicago.

Wilson Shook is an improvising saxophonist living in Seattle, Washington.
Wilson’s music emphasizes focus, texture, chance and exploration. It
exists in dialogue with its specific and contingent contexts; it is ‘new
music’ in that it explores each new moment and seeks to develop a critical
awareness of the present. Perhaps better characterized as ‘present
music’, it is less concerned with staking out new musical territory than
it is with creating relevant and personal communication that places equal
value on intention and sensitivity.
Wilson is the director of Gallery 1412, an artists’ collective and
performance space, and is a member of the Seattle Improvised Music board
of directors.
