Eyedrum events March 2 – March 5, 2006



March 2 Thursday

First Thursday Open Improv
Music
9:00pm
Free


Anything goes at Eyedrum's monthly open improv night as a gaggle of Atlanta jazz aficionados & freaked out freebirds come together in a celebration of skrinks, skronks and experimental whispering and wailing. Reined in by Eyedrum Executive Director Robert Cheatham, the Thursday night event is a marathon of cool, spaced out and bizarro sounds laid down by everything horns and drums to howling dogs. Chad Radford

This month’s theme:

GRAPHIC SCORES
An evening devoted to the relationship between our childish scratchings,
doodads, jim jams, frick fracks, doodles, and things visual scratched/ colored/etched/burnt etc on paper
to convey some idea of sonic direction.

bring some or make your own before and during the show, there will be a table with some materials...
So you can put some thought into it, a lot, or none at all.

Strangely enough there aren't many examples on the web to show those whose curiosity might be piqued....try this though for an easy approach:

Tim Harbeson hung his first little hat in Philadelphia where he began studying trumpet at the age of eight with former Philadelphia Orchestra member Sigmund Hering. He graduated as a sculpture major from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts with a traveling scholarship that sent him wandering through Asia. His musical experiences in Asia were his most profound, and, returning to Philadelphia, he pursued a deeper understanding of music, studying for a year with jazz trumpeter Stan Slotter and immersing himself in both the scholarly and dream-inducing influences of J.S.-Erik-Tom- Bach-Miles-Thelonius-Waits-Satie-Davis-Monk.
In 1992, while living in Marmaris, Turkey, he joined his first band, an international soul band, but it wasn't until he moved to Maine that he found his first creative musical collaborators, forming the trio tarpigh in 1995 and releasing six albums to date. This trio joined Cerberus Shoal in 1997 and for two years toured extensively throughout the U.S. and collaborated on the creation of four albums.

Since 2000 Tim has also collaborated extensively with dancer/ choreographer/writer Buffy Miller, creating many smallish works for festivals, performance showcases and benefits for local arts organizations, as well as an evening-length work, "Apidae (bedizened)" which premiered in 2002. Their 50-seat, jewel-box, proscenium theatre, Stillhouse Studio Theatre, and its seasonal performance series, A Stillhouse Run, was formed in 2003 as a forum for the showing of their own work as well as that of national and international avant-garde performing artists and musicians. Also in 2003, Tim was awarded an Individual Artist Fellowship (Music Composition) from The Maine Arts Commission. From 2002 to the present, he has employed Fence Kitchen as both alter-ego and vehicle for exploring his interest in multi-disciplinary solo performance. This perpetual work in progress at times involves puppetry and ambient setting and lighting with original music played live and/or as recorded soundtrack, while at other times, is presented as a purely musical performance. As the music is the impetus and context for Fence Kitchen-- an integral component of the mesmerizing dreamscape of objects and created environment and an extractable, stand-alone export of the world it infuses-- Beading The Rook is both a document, and a continuance, of this ongoing flight of fancy.
