JACK CURTIS DUBOWSKY ENSEMBLE at Climate Theatre Music Box Series April 8, 2009

David Kaye, Music Box Series Curator, writes:

Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble - Electro-Acoustic, Experimental Contemporary Classical.  A group that plays for Artists Television Access, the Oberlin Conservatory, well, that's one thing.  But Jack has also scored for memorable film productions as That Boy, the documentary on 1970s gay porn legend Peter Berlin, and in his spare time was commissioned to produce an original symphony for the Castro Valley Chamber Orchestra.  Who can ask for more well-rounded musical credentials?  This ensemble leans more heavily toward experimental, but check out the Spinet Mambo on their MySpace page as well as their live Pirate Cat Radio cuts.  Fascinating stuff. 

Entamoeba is a three-piece San Francisco based ambient band composed of three loop stations, trumpet, upright bass, guitar, and female vocals. Utilizing loop stations, the music is produced from the ground up as the band members create and layer live recordings during performance.  Trumpet swells dance around the avant-garde backbone created by the upright bass; haunting vocals, alternating with a raw vocal style, create an emotionally evocative and ethereal landscape, with complimenting warm and dissonant guitar tones. Each musician manipulates his/her instrument in various song compositions to create non-traditional and experimental sounds and tones.
