Fred Lonberg-Holm is a musician / free improviser currently living in El Cerrito CA. Primarily a cellist, he has also recorded and performed on tenor guitar and trumpet. His focus is on listening to and working with the materials at hand whether from others in the ensemble or the environment. Recent collaborators include Jessica Ackerley, Farida Amadou, Michael Bisio, Ben Bennett, Georges Paul, Tomeka Reid, Simon Camatta, John Edwards, Ahmed El Mottassem, Helena Espvall, Sandy Ewen, Frode Gjerstad, Kirk Knuffke, Mat Maneri, Joe McPhee, Miguel Mira, Abdul Moimeme, Paal Nilssen-Love, Dave Rempis, Roscoe Mitchell and Ben Vida to name a few. He has also recorded with frogs, chickens, dogs and other non human persons.
While mostly focusing on free improvising in “ad-hoc” situations, current ongoing projects include Ballister, Survival Unit III, Ear Scratcher, Camatta/Lonberg-Holm, Jakal, The Flying Cellos, the Lightbox Orchestra, Party Knullers and Stirrup.
As a session musician, he has contributed cello sounds to numerous recording projects including those of Califone, Freakwater, Kaki King, God-is-my-co-pilot, Simon Joyner, Smog, Super Chunk, US Maple, Wilco, Protomartyr, Ryley Walker and many others.
Past projects of note include the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet, Vandermark 5, Anthony Coleman’s Selfhaters, Joelle Leandre’s Atlantic Septet, and his own Terminal 4 and the Valentine Trio.
Brenda Hutchinson is a sound artist and composer. Through her work with large-scale
experiments in socially based improvisations and interactions, Brenda has developed a body of
work based on a perspective about interacting with the public and non-artists through
personal, reciprocal engagement with listening and sounding.
Since 1990, she has cultivated an unstable, bionic relationship with the Long Tube, and more
recently with an electronically enhanced version that she uses for both solo performance and
to improvise with other musicians. In 2008, Brenda began dailybell, an ongoing aspirational
project, dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing
the awareness of that moment with others through the ringing of bells.
Krys Bobrowski is a composer, sound artist, and musician based in Oakland CA. In addition to french horn, she plays acoustic and electronic instruments of her own design and making. Her instruments include kelp horns, wind instruments made of dried seaweed, and the gliss glass, an amplified, bowed, glass and water instrument that creates continuously sliding pitches. Her compositions often address the question ‘What Does Cooperation Sound Like?’ These works explore the unspoken and unseen connectedness of performers, audience, and people as members of society, as a whole.
Currently, she teaches and directs the Electronic Music Program at the College of San Mateo.
