Al Margolis
Activist in the 1980s American cassette underground through his
cassette label Sound Of Pig Music, co-founder of experimental
music label Pogus Productions. Active under the name If, Bwana
since 1984, making music that has swung between fairly spontaneous
studio constructions and more process-oriented composition. A
recent review of Margolisís work says: "Let it be
declared that Al Margolis/If, Bwana is some sort of evil genius
working with raw materials which are never adapted to a genre
or a context, because they create one in that very moment. Those
sources are radically altered up to an utterly unrecognizable
state, anarchic manifestations moving in compact determination."
(Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes). Currently Margolis is label
manager for Deep Listening, XI Records, and Mutable Music; plays
bass guitar in the legendary punk/post-punk band Styrenes; and
continues his work as If, Bwana. He has recorded and/or performed
with Pauline Oliveros, Ione, Joan Osborne, Monique BuzzartÈ,
Katherine Liberovskaya, Adam Bohman, Ellen Christi, Fred Lonberg-Holm,
JaneScarpantoni, Ulrich Krieger, David First, and Dave Prescott,
among others.
Monique BuzzartÈ
Monique BuzzartÈ, trombonist/composer, is an avid proponent
of contemporary music, commissioning and premiering many new works
for trombone alone, with electronics, and in chamber ensembles
in addition to her own compositions. Ms. BuzzartÈ's recordings
include Zanana's Holding Patterns (Deep Listening 30), John Cage's
Five3 with the Arditti Quartet (Mode 75: John CAGE: Vol. 19 -
The Number Pieces 2), and Dreaming Wide Awake with the New Circle
Five (Deep Listening 20); forthcoming from Townhall Records is
Sorrel Hays' Wake Up and Dream. Since 1983 her New Music from
Women: Trombone project has supported the expansion of the trombone
repertoire. An author and educator as well as a performer/composer,
Ms. BuzzartÈ has published research on the brass music
of women composers and received residencies in 2003 at Create@iEAR
Studios and in 2002 at Harvestworks Digital Media Arts for the
development of an interactive performance system for the trombone.
Her advocacy work for women in music included coordinating efforts
which led to the admission of women members into the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra in 1997. Ms. BuzzartÈ is certified to teach the
meditative improvisation practices of Deep Listening.
