Helix Collective
~~~ Marina Alexandra & Steve Sloan
21 Sounds presents an eclectic evening of new music ranging from contemporary American guitar music to klezmer and Bollywood.
Headlining the concert is L.A.-based ensemble The Helix Collective. The ensemble - comprised of oboist/composer Phil Popham, pianist Meghan Schaut, flutist Sarah Robinson and percussionist Marc Widenhofer - is known for its fresh, exciting performances mixing classical, popular and world music. In a review of the group's 2009 CD All In, the magazine Audiophile Audition praised the group for its "fine musicianship and beyond-the-ordinary programming." Its program, called World Dance Club, will include music ranging from klezmer (in Stephen Dankner's Dance Emigrations) and Bollywood (Mark Weiser's 3 Bollywood Dances) to a four-movement original work by Popham, The Mixer Dances, which features such movements as "The Knight's Ho-Gals" and sounds like early music kicked in the ass by a rock drum set. Also on the program is Finale Enratonado by a young Venezuelan composer and guitarist, Victor Marquez Barrios, who has written for a wide range of instrumentation that often crosses traditional rock-classical boundaries.
Guitarist Steve Sloan kicks off the evening with music by local Columbia composer Brian Bemman, Nashville composer Roger Hudson, and John Doan, a music professor in Oregon known as a master of the rare 20-string harp guitar. Sloan will also perform works by Muriel Anderson, Lawrence Long and Wayne Gratz, along with his own piece, Salvation.
Next up is the acclaimed Russian guitarist Marina Alexandra. Of Alexandra's talent, Classical Guitar Magazine wrote, "She is of the elite class of musicians where technical assuredness is just taken for granted," and Finger Style Guitar called her an "amazing player that commands the guitar with world-class technique and musicianship that is uncommon." Alexandra will perform Andrew York's Sunburst and Nikita Koshkin's Tristan Playing the Lute.

Steamboat Bill
~~~ Kenosha Kid
Steamboat Bill is a silent film masterpiece by the comedic genius Buster Keaton. This performance will feature live musical accompaniment by the ensemble Kenosha Kid. Led by bandleader/guitarist Dan Nettles, Kenosha Kid has been described as "some kind of as yet unlabeled jazz" (All About Jazz), as music "played through an Andy Warhol filter and served up Thomas Pynchon style", (Savannah Now), and as "jazz as if Kenny G and Wynton Marsalis never came along to ruin the genre's mainstream" (Flagpole Magazine).

Col. Bruce Hampton and the Pharoah Gummitt
Col. Bruce Hampton has been making music since he formed his first band in 1963. The Colonel has been
in constant motion ever since leaving a trail of memorable live performances with his many bands, including The Late Bronze Age and Col. Bruce Hampton and The
Aquarium Rescue Unit. Along the way he appeared in the movie "Sling Blade" as the poet and band manager Morris and starred in Mike Gordon's cult classic "Outside Out" as a mystical guitar 'out'structor. The Colonel's band features Lawson Feltman, Duane Trucks, and Kevin Scott. Still rolling down the road, Col.
Bruce continues his quest for the tonal center at each exit #6.

Tatsuya Nakatani
~~~ Thomas Helton
Tatsuya Nakatani is a contemporary percussionist, originally from Osaka, Japan. He has created his own instrumentation, effectively inventing many instruments and extended techniques. He utilizes drumset, bowed gongs, cymbals, singing bowls, metal objects, bells, and various sticks and bows to create an intense, organic music that defies category or genre. His music is based in improvised/ experimental music, jazz, free jazz, rock, and noise, yet retains the sense of space and beauty found in traditional Japanese folk music.
Thomas Helton enjoys music in all of its guises, be it bebop, heavy metal or avant-garde. Whether swinging with his Birth of the Cool tribute band, or utilizing extended techniques while in dialogue with a temperamental computer, elitism is not a part of Helton's M.O. Like many contemporary musicians these days, Helton is exploring new and creative ways to share and promote his music. His latest project is a DVD created in collaboration with Houston's Binarium Productions, featuring a solo bass performance by Helton filmed in a variety of raw and unfinished spaces. Shot by videographer Jonathan Jindra, who is also a fine electronic musician, Helton's meditative and ritualistic performance is complimented by eerie and imposing environments of pockmarked concrete, exposed air ducts and piles of bricks. Throughout the video, Jindra interjects his own abstract organic visuals complimenting shifts of texture in Helton's music. Nakatani and Helton will each perform solo sets (Helton's will feature projected excerpts from his new video.)
