*due to a special event Jan. 22, Hear Here will move for one week to Wednesday, Jan. 21

Hear Here - a Thursday late night series at the Lily Pad, commences Jan. 8, 2009. At 10pm each Thursday night, the Lily Pad will host new and/or too-little-heard projects by hard-working musicians, composers, and improvisers from Boston and beyond.

On Jan. 8, the Lily Pad will welcome saxophonist Daniel Blake and pianist Leo Genovese for the Boston debut of Gauchometer. These longtime collaborators will be interacting live with a constantly evolving electronic sound world as they perform pieces from their forthcoming CD, “Signs of Transcendence”. Daniel, an ASCAP composition winner, has performed in bands led by Richard Gallo, Richie Barshay, Charlie Kohlhase, Sofie Koutsivitis, and currently co-runs the De Facto Music Series at the Brooklyn Lyceum. Argentinian Leo Genovese has been in high demand as a sideman since he came to the States. Currently, he tours the world with Esperanza Spalding.

Also performing the first night will be High School, featuring Adam Dotson on euphonium, Dave Sleininger on guitar, Jason Nazary playing drums and electronics, and Joe Moffett on trumpet. Compositions by all the participants draw on a dirty, punky, indy aesthetic. Imagine a collision between out jazz, ala Joe Morris, Gerald Cleaver, or even Dave Douglas (all of whom Dotson has worked as a sideman) and textural indie rock along the lines of Neutral Milk Hotel and Can. And now, imagine the same thing with a euphonium.

Each month, Hear Here will reflect the tastes of a guest curator from the Lily Pad extended family. Alec Spiegelman has put together the inaugural month, to feature Jim Hobbs & The Fully Celebrated Orchestra, Eric Hofbauer’s Infrared Band, NYC singer-songwriter Noam Weinstein, and much more. Expect great music and some novel collaborations each week.

7:00 PM Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band

Our last performance at the Lily Pad was such a hit with everyone that you demanded we do it again, so we are! This time we will be creating an improvised score for the 1920 German Expressionist classic, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

This film is an intense journey that follows the deranged Dr. Caligari and his prognosticating somnambulist, Cesare. it is dark and bizarre, and if you've never seen it before you're in for a real treat! We're exited to share with you our musical impression of this influential and inspirational film.

Bummer & Lazarus is an improvisational collective of crazed musicians from ENSMB that formed around an interest in sonic textures, rhythmic complexity and musical exploration. Drawing inspiration from a wide variety of sources, we utilize an array of instrumentation that is driven by found-object percussion and eclectic noise.

Bummer & Lazarus is:

Grantley Smith
Richard Tarantino
Ry Strohm-Herman
