Hans Fjellestad
San Diego Composer, improviser and videomaker Hans Fjellestad uses acoustic instruments, live electronics and video to create spontaneous compositions, or narratives. Video is treated as musical texture, drawing the listener into the story like a campfire. Sonic imagery is provided by piano, synthesizer, sampler, ambient and found recordings, and digital processing. Fjellestad has played piano for nearly three decades, worked with electronic instruments for two, and video for one. He will premiere his latest strategies for blending all three elements together, creating a unique vocabulary for improvisational musicmaking.

Griffin and Snapper
Juliana Snapper, soprano, and Sean Griffin, harpist/composer in two premiere performances: Sister Benedetta and Onuphrius: two chamber operas as well as smaller pieces with videos. Sister Benedetta for soprano, viola, cello, harpsichord and tape is the setting of a version of the transcripts of a trial in 1619 of Sister Benedetta Carlini by Sean Griffin and Catherine Sullivan. These documents represent one of the earliest descriptions of lesbianism in modern Western history. Onuphrius for voice, harp, and electronics. portrays the icon Onuphrius, whose beard came to her in answer to her fervent prayers to be freed from the advances of unwanted suitors. This collaboration explores the destabilizing power of gender hybridity, using the transformation of sound, image and performing bodies to amplify and interrogate constructions of monstrosity.

Stefano Scodanibbio Contrabass soloist and composer Macerata, Italy In the 1980s and 1990s Scodanibbio was prominently linked to the Renaissance of the double bass playing at festivals throughout the world. Works written just for Scodanibbio have been created by composers such as Bussotti, Donatoni, Estrada, Ferneyhough, Frith, Globokar, Sciarrino, and Xenakis.

School Days
School Days with Ken Vandermark, saxophone; Jeb Bishop, trombone from Chicago; Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, bass; Paal Nilssen-Love, drums from Norway ; and Kjell Nordeson, vibes, from Sweden. Selected as a 1999 MacArthur Fellow, Ken Vandermark is in the vanguard of musical talents now influencing contemporary improvisational jazz. School Days was formed in the Spring of 2000 by Ken Vandermark in order to allow him the opportunity to work with two of the best musicians from the current Norwegian improvised music scene: the drummer Paal Nilssen-Love and the bassist Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten. Trombonist Jeb Bishop, Vandermark's frequent collaborator, was also asked to join. The group's music is inspired by the "free jazz" period of improvised music that was developed in the 1960s, but it's stylistic range draws upon more contemporary ideas about music as well.
