[H&R] Ice cream - Improvised music - and a whole lotta clarinet, Tomorrow 08/23

[Beth Fleenor]

Attention Outraged Citizens, Universal Beings, and Dearest of Dearest  
Friends,

Bling + Figeater = Blingeater?

On this the 22nd day of August, I cordially invite you to join me in  
a grand experiment.
My projects most often consist of improvised music, and because of  
this I rarely bill two of my projects together….
However! Tomorrow evening, August 23 at 8 PM, that will  
change…..forever….

  I am in love with these two ensembles and decided to celebrate my  
excitement with a performance featuring both of them back to back.   
This is a real challenge for me, to perform completely  
improvisational material, with small groups,  in radically different  
settings for almost 2 hours, but I wanted to see what it was like and  
where I truly am as a performer/spontaneous composer.

Bling and Figeater are both projects that honor on the environment as  
the completing member of the ensemble – that means your presence is  
desperately needed at this event!  And this is only Figeater’s second  
performance!  I hope you will join me for this little experiment.

The Skinny:
Bling + Figeater = Blingeater?
Thursday, August 23 / 8 PM
$5 – 15 sliding scale
The Chapel Performance Space / Good Shepherd Center  (used to be a   
place of reform for wayward girls - how perfect is that?)
4649 Sunnyside Ave.


Don’t care much about sonic experimentation ? well then,  I slide  
into my 27th birthday next week so you could also view this as an  
impromptu birthday party that just happens to have a lot of  
improvised clarinet music.  (and I hear the faint whispers of ice  
cream…….ice cream….)

Be there or be square awesome possums.
XO,

BLING: Screaming silence in a whirling pool of stillness…
Long time collaborators Beth Fleenor, clarinet, and Denney Goodhew,  
piano and percussion, join forces to push the boundaries of chamber  
music. A
completely improvised, raw, spiritual journey.


Figeater is a new original music project led by Beth Fleenor.   
Disjunctive, raucous, soaring, and powerful – Figeater is a   
textural, tribal exploration of organic movement. Improvisations are  
punctuated, buttoned, and launched by original compositions and  
psychedelic dance explosions. Recently described in Earshot Jazz as  
“a hypnotic trio of scratchy, electronics-warped guitar, drums, and  
Beth.  They’re somewhat related to jazz, but just as much to  
psychedelic-era rock rave-up, whirling and weird, and quite  
enjoyable.” Figeater is Beth Fleenor (clarinet / bass clarinet / beth  
boxing / percussion) with Jeff Huston (guitar / electronics), Mike  
Hams (percussion).
