Virtual Concerts
 

With many events closing down, some artists are taking their shows to a virtual platform that you can stream live from home. I'm sure we can all use some entertainment during these times, so this thread is for posting shows worth checking out.

A couple of notable examples:
Code Orange | March 14
Metropolitan Opera Free Live Stream | March 16-31
Til Further Notice | March 19

So what else we got?

These are actually live?

Mhmm

Oh Sees did this in place of a show. The venue (Zebulon Cafe) is also set to premiere a lot of past live performances on their channel.

This daily live series kicks ass: https://ess.org/the-quarantine-concerts

And this

The Six-Hour Experimental Opera Happening on Zoom | Performance of Full Pink Moon By Pauline Oliveros

The section that I watched was great. Do you have a list of who performed? This one cellist was especially impressive.

I love how much restraint they were showing.

I watched about an hour and it was excellent indeed. Really hope to see more things like this or technological adaptations that can make these kinds of projects closer to real time performance (an issue I've had trying remote collaboration).

Here's the artist list: https://www.seangriffin.org/full-pink-moon-artists

Maybe it was this one:

That list of musicians is probably five years worth of musical discoveries.

I’m going to slowly start investigating those that were involved.

Again, I have to state this again, the way that many artists could put their egos aside to make room for everyone, in a loose setting like that...

I wish SunRa could’ve seen that because that is so much what he was about. And Cage, too.

I mean you see something like that - Cage was thinking like that so long ago.

Tons of good ****, all times are in CST.

Thanks! I'll forward it to some folks.

Those are some great names

I’ll be interested in the discussion panels

Friendly reminder for the Catalytic Sound Festival, I totally forgot about it yesterday.

I’m watching it now

Damn so Nate Wooley's really rocking a poster of himself in his room huh. Feels like the performer equivalent of wearing a shirt off the band you're seeing to the show.

This Icepick (Wooley/Corsano/Håker Flaten) set is excellent.

Yesterday's line-up was great.
The piece for Yoko was hilarious!
... and the video quality is sooooo
much better than the Bang-On-A-Can stuff.

Frown's watching Terrie Ex and Andy Moor and getting ideas. :D

lol I was mainly concerned that Andy was going to break a string.

They showed a replay of Paal Nilssen-Love / Frode Gjerstad

There’s some previous stuff from this series in youtube

At the bottom of the feed window, you can sample the archive from there.

... and we're back!

Another day of goodies...

Better view of what Susan Alcorn is doing than you would get at a regular concert. They need to turn her channel up though.

Yes, good to see her playing. Sharon's a big fan of her work.
I'm becoming less a fan of the "Zoom concert" setup of tight little squares,
but that's what some have to do - especially if you've never played together
as an ensemble and want to do so cheaply and necessarily.
That's why I like this setup more than the Bang-On-a-Can one
where everything was Zoom(ish).

Ingebrigt and Håkon play grandmother's music - LOL!
(in a video setup I like).

I'm completely impressed by the past and future concert setups at ESS (since March!)

Jaap up close!

That was boss!

Joe Morris and Joe McPhee both unassailable

More than a couple of Joes!
It's NATION TIME y'all!

Yeah - some of that hit home hard

For decades that album was out of print and lots of people were either paying
damn near 1000 bucks for it or pleading that somebody should put it out again.
Not only did it finally come back out not too long ago, but then a 4 disc set of
the recordings from that complete session came out too.

Some kind of Sun Ra tribute happening now

Eugene Chadbourne coming up August 3

That’s a good one! I double checked your time conversion just to be safe. No offense.

None taken. Did I pass?

Yes. I had a travel agent sell me an impossible connection because of the international date line. It was on the return flight and I didn’t notice the error until I was on the flight going to my destination. I was looking at my itinerary and spent like two hours trying to figure out if it was really wrong or if my brain was just looping around. It was really wrong. It only took a short phone call to correct it though.

I sent that link to my friend in Tokyo
and he said that it looked good, but
“... I have to attend another concert at the same time
in which only silent pieces (including 4’33”) will be played.“

I'm going to be attending one of those as well if my alarm doesn't go off.
