Taking place October 22 -24, 2010, the Experimental Music Yearbook is a series of curated concerts highlighting some recent trends and ideas in the global experimental music community. The concerts showcase recent works from renowned composers Vinny Golia and Greg Davis, as well as premieres from Mark So, Olivia Block and many others. Comprised of three concerts over three days, the event will expose early career local composers to a wider audience. Faculty member and composer Sara Roberts, along with local experimentalists John P. Hastings and Casey Anderson, curated the concerts and have organized a team of Los Angeles’ finest experimental music performers in enacting the second iteration of this annual event.

I am currently leading the 4th annual STEIM exchange for CalArts’ ESP program. Each year I bring a group of graduate students to STEIM to work together on projects and a performance. This year’s group will be working from September 28th through October 11th with a presentation and performance on Sunday, October 10th. Here are a few links to more information:

4th edition of CalArts exchange program at STEIM

Featuring:
Stephanie Smith, Carmina Escobar, Stina Haraldsdottir, Dan Eaton and Clay Chaplin

Located in Valencia California, CalArts has been one of the traditional hubs for music and art experimentation on West Coast. Since 2007, STEIM and their Experimental Sound Practices program have established an exchange program where they send a group of promising students to work intensively on projects in our studios. For each edition we have experimented with Professor Clay Chaplin in different methods of working with the students, and have seen fruitful results ranging from interactive circuit sculptures to a multi-media ensemble performance. They return this year again with a new group of students with a variety of backgrounds and interests. Come check out what they come up with this time!
