James Johnson & Prana Live at The Gathering
Saturday, April 21st, 2001
St. Mary's Hamilton Village
3916 Locust Walk in Philadelphia, PA
*******************************************************
Sonic explorer James Johnson and overtone singing
group Prana will make their Philadelphia area debut at
the Gathering on Saturday, April 21st, 2001.

Johnson's recorded output consists mainly of introspective
ambient soundscape albums, but his Gathering concert will
present a range of energy; from sonic drift to focused rhythms.
A ten year veteran as live performancer, Johnson has, "quite a
few rhythmic pieces that I use live. Some are quite trancey and
evolve, twist and turn, while others offer more of a familiar song-like
structure." In addition to manipulation of electronic timbres, Johnson's
music also offers dynamics. "The dynamics of my live set ranges
from subtle percussion, to powerful rhythmic lines. It's nice to
incorporate these as transition pieces and breaks between the
more subtle atmospheres. It keeps the performance engaging."

Prana is an eight voice singing group headed by Baird Hersey.
The octet emits what is referred to as the Higher Voice, an
enigmatic overtone produced when the mouth and throat are
shaped into a resonating chamber for the harmonics of the
normal voice. Prana produces deep and calming meditations with
only Tibetan cymbals, reverberation and voices. The music is a
shared search between audience and performers and fuses
breath, listening, space and sound. Their album Waking the Cobra
is used widely throughout the yoga and wholistic health community.


The Gathering with James Johnson and Prana will take place on
Saturday, April 21st, 2001 at 8:00pm in the church sanctuary of
St. Mary's Hamilton Village, 3916 Locust Walk, on the Penn campus
in Philadelphia, PA. Admission is $20; $10 for full-time students with
proper ID. All ages welcome. Advance tickets are available on-line
through Ticketweb and at any TLA Video outlet. For more information,
please access the Gatherings website or call (610) 734-1009.
