greetings expmusic invite.

your humble admin [me] just received this anonymous email, with very specific
[and somewhat alarming] instructions on forwarding this specific bit from it; a
call for participants.

i don't know who these people are.  although i am hard-pressed to care much
about anything that happens east of yerba buena island [especially a mysterious
cattle call that's likely a front for an ominous group of heartless promoters] i
felt strangely compelled to forward this, exactly as i was told.

enjoy.  or not:

Hi all-

   I still have space in my curated set at the Ivy Room Experimental Improv
Hootenany next Monday (11/16).  In particular, I would like have a string player
and/or percussionist. This is a purely improvisation set, no rehearsals, but I
will send out some guidelines in advance.

   I will be performing laptop/synthesizer/small percussion, and Drew Ceccato
will be sitting in with his Electronic Valve Instrument and other electronics.

   The performance will be at 9PM at the Ivy Room,  858 San Pablo Ave, Albany.

   Please let me know if you are interested by tomorrow (Thursday) evening.

   Thanks
   -Amar

An electro-acoustic band called Reconnaissance Fly, consisting
presently of flutist/bass flutist/spoken wordist/singer/frontwoman
Polly Moller (me),  pianist/electronics wizard Amar Chaudhary,
and bassist Tim Walters, seeks two more members to make the band a quintet.

We're currently working on a communally composed, long-form,
multi-movement "spong cycle" entitled Flower Futures.  It will be
performed live (a lot, we hope) and recorded to be our first CD
released on Edgetone Records.

Candidate must-have traits:

- Electric guitar player
- Drummer with a kit
- Team player
- Enthusiastic about writing pieces and improv frameworks in support of spoetry
- Drummer likes to keep time as well as freely improvise

Very desirable traits:

- guitarist creative with pedals, looping, etc.
- drummer creative with objects, toys, etc.
- both candidates not in 10 other bands already

Desirable traits:

- Won't bring pineapple pizza to rehearsal
- Won't laugh when the frontwoman bends over

If you are interested, please write back to me off the list.
Thanks!

Cheers,
Polly Moller
