Events For November 2nd, 2012
Nov 2Sound, Place, and Identity Featuring Josh Kun, Liz Phillips, and Omar Tamez
November 2nd, 2012 - 11:45am
As Josh Kun reminds us in Audiotopia, his seminal book on popular music and American identity, "listening is a form of confrontation, of encounter, of the meeting of worlds and meanings." This panel is sort of like that, too, bringing together Kun, sound-installation artist pioneer, Liz Phillips, and Omar Tamez, one of Mexico's premier improvising artists, in a conversation dedicated to encouraging our aural awareness of the sonic resonance linking place, space, and identity. Emery Community Arts Center. Open to the public.

Landing on a Sense of Place: A Concert Featuring the Sanchez/Tamez/Aguilar Trio
November 2nd, 2012 - 7:30pm
Beginning from a stance of perpetual becoming, improvisers Angelica Sanchez, Omar Tamez, and Gustavo Aguilar are in search of a musicking experience that is concrete and touchable but as pure evanescence. If you come from somewhere - from anywhere - you will find something of yourself in these sounds. UMF Emery Community Arts Center. Open to the public.
