Performances/Collaborations A series of performances with guest artists.
Sept 15, 8pm :: Lulacruza with We Eat Dots Nov 16, 8pm :: Lulacruza with Gregg Kowalsky Born in New York City and raised in South Florida, Gregg Kowalsky has had the opportunity to perform throughout Europe and the United States under the Osso Bucco moniker for the past several years. He participated in festivals such as WDR’s SoundArt-Köln Festival, Sonar, OFFF (Online Flash-Film Festival) and The Nursery Summer Festival in Sweden alongside artists like Stephan Mathieu, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Wolf Eyes, fm3 and others. He now resides in Oakland, California where he completed a Master of Fine Arts degree in Electronic Music and Recording Media at Mills College with the guidance of Fred Frith. Kowalsky’s compositions range from textural ambient to drone and noise pieces, which are highly influenced by the thick, humid air of South Florida where Gregg lived for most of his life. He is interested in filling the spaces his music occupies through dense, live, multi-channel mixes. He has composed for film, dance, acoustic ensembles and sound installations.

Feb 29, 8pm :: Lulacruza with Of Of (aka Loren Chasse) considers the sounds of natural and unnatural settings, situations, and found objects a spirited material that may be transported, mutated and reintegrated under new conditions to yield hybrid apparitions of spaces, things and moments. Loren's recorded work and performances often incorporate electronic noises--hums, whirs, sputters and drones--which emulate sounds that occur in nature. The combination of such objects as motors, clocks and strobe lights with materials such as stones, branches, gravel, sand and leaves creates an atmosphere of fantasy, something familiar yet unnameable, neither here nor there. He is Director of Education with the sound arts collective 23hive and teaches in the San Francisco School District. He works with children to develop their sense of creative listening, often leading 'sonic hikes' along the California coast in addition to workshops in the classroom. Additionally, Loren records and performs with the groups idBattery, Thuja, Coelacanth and The Blithe Sons.
