- **Event Description**: Bryan Day & Toshi Makihara duo:

Bryan Day is a sound artist, instrument inventor, and conceptual artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Using scavenged electronics, repurposed mechanical components, and amplified materials, he reimagines them as constructivist sound sculptures. Since the late 1990s, he has built over a hundred sound devices ranging from amplified measuring tapes and hacked radio transceivers to electromechanical installations using magnets, hard drives, and pendulums.His recorded work spans noisy electroacoustic improvisation, droning minimalism, and audio collage, featured in projects such as Euphotic, Collision Stories, and Seeded Plain. He has performed, taught workshops, and built sound installations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. By day, he works as a museum exhibit and software developer at the Exploratorium in San Francisco.Since 1997, Day has run the new music label Public Eyesore and its sister label Eh?, producing over 300 albums of improvised and experimental music by artists from around the world. He has organized tours for American artists in Japan and curated events at venues including Canessa Gallery, Meridian Gallery, Clawfoot House, Tiptop Haus, and The Magic Theatre.Day also leads invented instrument–building workshops, both to create instruments of his own design and to guide participants in building freeform sound objects from repurposed materials. His designs include the Whiskerphone, Rotowhisker, Sonic Marionette, Sound Mouse, Junk Kalimba, and various circuit-bent instruments.

Toshi Makihara pursues non-idiomatic free improvised music using percussion and found objects / sound sites. Makihara studied drums and improvisation with Sabu Toyozumi and Butoh with the master Kazuo Ohno in Tokyo. His approach to free improvisation is founded on the process of “Becoming the Sound” without seeking any particular accomplishment.

Del Rossi Trio:

"Listening to Del Rossi Trio, I thought of landscapes: particularly, the way they seem to subtly shift and change when viewed from tens of thousands of feet in flight, presenting the persistent illusion of stillness despite the fact of infinite intricate activity taking place (not to mention the fact that you’re moving at hundreds of miles an hour all the while). The trio, composed of droning harmonium, cello and bass clarinet, played two long, meditative pieces: this was eyes-closed music, drifting slowly in and out of consonance, wide-open modal harmonies inching toward tension and rich, crazy clusters of notes and harmonic traffic jams. Bass clarinetist Matthew Smith Lee’s cheeks would softly flutter on long-held notes, and the cello and harmonium essentially blended into one big, pulsing sound."- Tyler Maxwell(Midbrow Philly)
