For this evening joined by ADAM LION (Vibraphone, LA) they will realize pages from Noel's typewriter score 13 harmonic weather formations. This music unfolds slowly and attempts to sound a slow spectral image.GACHAPON, an improvisational New Music ensemble featuring NANCY BECKMAN, shakuhachi and percussion; CINDY SAWPRANO, musical saw, accordion, voice and percussion; TOM BICKLEY, EWI electronic wind instrument; and DEAN SANTOMIERI, taishogoto and guitar, performs with dancer CHRISTINA BRAUN.Gachapon is an improvising New Music quartet with a slightly Asian music flavor characteristic of both the Shakuhachi, an end blown flute usually made of bamboo, and Taishogoto, an electric instrument with presets that mimic both Japanese and western instruments. The EWI (electronic wind instrument) also has preset sounds capable of producing flute, brass, reed, woodwind and synthesizer sounds. The bowed saw brings unusual timbres into the mix and is capable of extreme glissandi. The guitar, accordion, and Taishogoto can play chords as well, which are often used to give a key center or sound bed for the other players to solo over. Additionally, all the group members play percussion instruments.Gachapon often employs a Gray Code derived score to indicate which players will play or not play along a time grid. So, at various moments, one member might be playing solo while the others sit out. The score determines when solos, duos, trios or the full quartet play, which brings a unique listening experience to an audience more familiar with other improvising ensembles. “Gachapon” is also the onomatopoeic name given to a certain type of Japanese vending machine toys. Christina Braun will be dancing with the group during this performance. Her dancing incorporates elements of ballet, Jazz, Modern and Butoh styles. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oakland/gachapon-hanna-broback-john-teske-noel-kennon-with-adam-lion/100001982339420570 - **Event Categories**: Music, Entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.18, max: 23.18, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Oakland - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Dresher Ensemble Studio - **lat**: 37.8166192 - **long**: -122.2872242 - **full address**: Dresher Ensemble Studio, 2201 Poplar Street, Oakland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: GACHAPON / HANNA BROBACK + JOHN TESKE + NOEL KENNON with ADAM LION - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/5f2f4ac0bec5ea7bc9d5a6be4aaeb8e25e8f6df7d670b679027d4401af420d98-rimg-w1200-h800-dc010100-gmir.jpg?v=1770471666 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is GACHAPON / HANNA BROBACK + JOHN TESKE + NOEL KENNON with ADAM LION being held? - **A:** GACHAPON / HANNA BROBACK + JOHN TESKE + NOEL KENNON with ADAM LION takes place on Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 07:15 pm to Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 09:30 pm at Dresher Ensemble Studio, 2201 Poplar Street, Oakland, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for GACHAPON / HANNA BROBACK + JOHN TESKE + NOEL KENNON with ADAM LION? - **A:** Tickets for GACHAPON / HANNA BROBACK + JOHN TESKE + NOEL KENNON with ADAM LION are priced at USD 23 per person.
