The Cornelius Cardew Choir is a SF Bay Area-based vocal performance ensemble. Situated at the intersection of community & experimental music, these professional, amateur, & novice singers work collectively to turn ideas into sonic action. We recognize our music-making as enacting healthy political economy, with respect for individual contributions and high regard for the community as a whole.
Pet the Tiger is an SF Bay Area inventors collective led by David Samas that plays in a wide variety of idioms exploring new timbral dimensions through extended techniques, new instruments and microtonality.
Gamelan Encinal is an American aluminum gamelan ensemble founded by Stephen Parris in 2015. Their focus is on the performance of new works for their unique set of instruments, and the performance of past works for just tuned American gamelan.
