>One of the themes that I would like to explore 
>as STEIM's Artistic Co-Director is "Musicianship 
>in Live Electronic Music." Although this is 
>something that STEIM has dealt with for many 
>years, there still seems to be a general lack of 
>discourse that encompasses the sonic aesthetics 
>that both acoustic and electronic musicians are 
>starting to share in a post-digital era. Live 
>computer music has helped us realize that it is 
>the sonic relationship which the musician 
>attains with his/her instrument, sound material 
>or audience that is more important to the 
>performative representation of music than any 
>kind of visual substitution or subtraction. I 
>believe this relationship is something that all 
>musicians intuitively develop and is revealed 
>most clearly in solo performances. I am happy to 
>present the first STEIM concert of 2007 with 
>three extraordinary performers who each work in 
>very different fields of music. 
>- Takuro Mizuta Lippit (dj sniff)

>Artist Biographies:
>Pamela Z is a San Francisco-based 
>composer/performer and audio artist who works 
>primarily with voice, live electronic 
>processing, and sampling technology. She creates 
>solo works combining operatic bel canto and 
>experimental extended vocal techniques with 
>found percussion objects, spoken word, digital 
>processing, and a MIDI controller called The 
>BodySynth (which allows her to manipulate sound 
>with physical gestures.) In addition to her solo 
>work, she has composed and recorded scores for 
>dance, theatre, film, and new music chamber 
>ensembles. Her large-scale multi-media works 
>have been presented at Theater Artaud and ODC in 
>SanFrancisco and at The Kitchen in New York, and 
>her audio works have been presented in 
>exhibitions at the Whitney Museum in New York 
>and the Diözesanmuseum in Cologne. Her 
>multi-media opera Wunderkabinet - based on the 
>Museum of Jurassic Technology (created in 
>collaboration with Matthew Brubeck and Christina 
>McPhee) has been presented at The LAB Gallery 
>(San Francisco) in 2005 and at REDCAT (Disney 
>Hall, Los Angeles) in 2006. Pamela Z has toured 
>extensively throughout the US, Europe, and 
>Japan. She has performed in numerous festivals 
>including Bang on a Can at Lincoln Center in New 
>York, the Interlink Festival in Japan, the Other 
>Minds Festival in San Francisco, Pina Bausch 
>Tanztheater Festival in Wuppertal, Germany, and 
>La Biennale di Venezia in Italy. She is the 
>recipient of numerous awards including a 
>Guggenheim Fellowship, the Creative Capital 
>Fund, the CalArts Alpert Award in the Arts, the 
>ASCAP Music Award, and the NEA and Japan/US 
>Friendship Commission Fellowship. She holds a

>lives and works in The Hague. He is active as an 
>improvising saxophonist and a composer of 
>electronic and acoustic music. He also writes 
>texts, curates concerts and makes videos and 
>installations. Much of his work is a 
>manifestation of his opposition to the 
>destructive behavior exhibited and accepted by 
>the dominant culture. He studied composition, 
>jazz, computer music, ancient and modern 
>literature, classical saxophone, and 
>multi-disciplinary art at institutions in the 
>US, the UK, Poland, and the Netherlands.
