| Krispen Hartung - Is That Jazz? Festival | Chapel Performance Space / Seattle, WA / January 15, 2009 | At this performance I tried a new approach to audience interaction. I connected my cell phone to my computer system, and wrote my number on a white board. I instructed the audience to call the number and talk, hum, whistle, push buttons, etc, during my performance. In turn, I reacted to what the audience was doing and made it a collaborative performance. |
| Krispen Hartung & Brian McFadin - Day of the Dead Performance | Congregation Ahavath Beth Israel Synagogue, Boise, ID, November 1, 2008, | This
was a performance held at a Jewish Synagogue hall, the first performance
open to non-congregation members. There were four acts, all playing
to pay tribute to musicians who had passed away in the last few years.
I dedicated our performance to Derek Bailey. The first act was in
the Noise genre, two guys using their laptops to process the sound
track of Forbidden Planet, with the movie running as a backdrop....very
cool. The second act was an old school country band, like the 1930's
to 1950's stuff. We played next, and then next group was more rock/blues/psychedelic
rock. Great span of genres.
Anyway, here is our set. I was much more minimalist with the effects than usual, but was using my random max/msp looper the whole time. Very enjoyable and dynamic set for me, and one of the few where I felt "in the moment" almost the entire time. |

| Krispen Hartung & Brian MacFadin - Impromtu Free Jazz Session | Boise, Idaho (Brian's studio) | This one clip from a session I recorded today with a new collaborator, who I met at the 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival. His name is Brian McFadin and he moved here less than a year ago from California. He's really quite an accomplished jazz sax player, studied at LACC, Cal State L.A, etc . He has a CD out with Tony Malaby, who has played with Paul Motian, etc; and he has another quintet CD out with John Bergamo, Doug Webb, Per Warpe (guitar), and Kentaro Ebiko (bass), called Succulent. Anway, I'm glad to have met him! |

| No. 1 | Moxie Java / Boise, Idaho / 1/14/06 | Acoustic guitar (tuned down a 3rd) with two EDPs and various VST effects; cajon, conga, various percussion in the mix as well; there is a lot of open space in this piece, which is what I like about...allows you to think and feel in between the sound; it take a while to develop, so be patient with the evolution; I am looping, of course, but the length of the loop is relatively long, so that you don't hear the repetition immediately; I switch to half speed and reverse toward the end, overdub, then back to normal speed; the acoustic guitar tuned down to C is hard to control here, but the deepness is intense |
| No. 4 | Moxie Java / Boise, Idaho / 1/14/06 | Starts with looping the chimes, then reversing them; lots of other natural percussion devices in here from Vinnie; I come in with my signature guitar synth tone about 2:57, but the patch is too damn loud, which again forces me into an uncomfortable zone and impacts my playing in an unpredictable way; 3:47...didjeridu comes into the loop; 7:06...the entire soundscape drops down to half speed...good grief, the didj sounds sinister this way! Sounds like some horrific monster lurking in the depths; 8:31...Vinnie starts talking, breathing, and groaning into the didjeridu like a tortured and haunted soul down under; 11:00 fade out...new movement...Vinnie inhaling and exhaling into the didjeridu, as if meditating...into a deep sleep....me descending down, down, down....12:52 comes the computer ambient noise, and Vinnie doing more weird vocal work into his didjeridu over the top of the prior looped section; Vinnie starts scratching the mic with his finger; I'm still descending, and then playing abstract melodies and runs....we fade out |
| No. 6 | Moxie Java / Boise, Idaho / 1/14/06 | More dark obscurity like the above...at this point, I am bored with my own bitterness and frustration with the evening; nonetheless, the piece keeps flowing into a deep, rumbling end. |
