Vancouver duo STRUCTURAL DAMAGE goes on tour with three invited guest performer/composers, Ron Samworth, Yasuhiro Otani, and Kazuhisa Uchihashi. Performances will include composed and improvised music from solos up to everyone playing. Otani and Uchihashi perform together worldwide as soloists, as a duo and with various groups, and will perform some of their own material. STRUCTURAL DAMAGE will also play some duos. Ron Samworth, who is perhaps best known as the leader and guitar player in Talking Pictures, will present some work and everyone will play together. The distinct guitar styles of each player will make for a varied and fascinating program, with keyboard player Andrew Czink and Otani running MAX on a powerbook providing other sonic perspectives.

About STRUCTURAL DAMAGE

"As composers and performers, all four made strong contributions to a program of 10 works.... electronic music is with us. And it gets more interesting all the time in the hands of people like Oliver (a master of the guitar), Czink (a pianist of extraordinary energy and power), Schmidt (who seems incapable of error as he skitters around the...accordion, and Magnanensi (who can manage a table piled high with blinking and beeping gizmos as skillfully as a surgeon...) Georgia Straight, April 6-12, 2000 issue


MANDATE and ARTISTIC OBJECTIVES
The mandate of our duo is to perform music we create together and in collaboration with guest artists – other composer/performers or creators from other artistic disciplines – to bring to audiences a unique creative musical and visual experience that reflects the musical and artistic advances of our time, while maintaining the historical link to the traditional musical instruments of the past. As a duo we perform on our main instruments, piano and guitar, whose sounds we extend by unusual performance techniques and electronic extensions and manipulations. The inherent theatricality of the musician’s performance gestures are further enhanced by the addition of new performance devices that sense the performer’s motion, proximity, and other spacial and sensory information. Our goal is to create a gutsy and visceral experience.


HISTORY
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE first performed together in Vancouver on January 23, 1999 at Rainer Bürck’s Without Fear CD-release concert [earsay CD 99001] in Vancouver. Composer/performers Czink and Oliver formulated the idea for the group STRUCTURAL DAMAGE during their rehearsals in preparation for this concert. The trio developed a new work by email and mail during the months before the concert, and performed after a week of rehearsal. The resulting 25-minute piece, called Structural Damage, inspired the name for the group.


On March 30, 2000 they performed & recorded a special event at Vancouver’s Western Front with special guest composer/performers Giorgio Magnanensi, (DJ/electronics), and Douglas Schmidt (accordion). The resulting CD, STRUCTURAL DAMAGE: Live at the Lux (es-00001) was released this year on the earsay label. In January 2001 the duo performed at the Standford University Ballroom (Palo Alto) and the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies, (Berkeley) in California.



resumés

Andrew Czink
(Canada)
keyboards/electronics

is a composer/pianist based in Vancouver and a co-director of earsay productions. His primary training was of a classical bent, with excursions into jazz and popular forms early on. His compositional education was heavily rooted in the “contemporary avant–garde.” Along with exposure to and study of various Asian and African musics, this suite of influences continue their hold on his musical thought. His music has been performed and broadcast in Europe, New Zealand, Australia, the USA, and Canada where he has received numerous awards and commissions. He also teaches synthesis, MIDI and digital studio operations at the Centre for Digital Imaging & Sound (CDIS) and currently produces the radio program Musica Nova on Vancouver Co-op Radio CFRO 102.7 FM.

His past projects include the composition, performance, and production of the music-theatre piece Kalends in 1985, a decade of composing and performing live electronic music with composer/performer Paul Dolden (1981-91), commissions to composer and perform live electroacoustic music for various Vancouver-based choreographers (1982-1993), and visiting lecturer and composer at the Symposium of the International Musicological Society, 1988. Since 1993, Mr. Czink has returned to the piano, composing dense, intense, gestural music that appears on his solo CD Escape Velocity released on the earsay label in March 1998. Mr. Czink is an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre.


.../Media Quotes

Andrew Czink’s CD Escape Velocity

“...chops to burn. His pianisms are unrelenting, intense... 56 minutes with ears saturated in music. Intense.”
Marc Chénard “Piano Music On CD” in CODA MAGAZINE, Issue 286, July/August 1999

“Czink's composition invites us and sometimes grabs us by the scruff of the ears.”
–Mark Parlett, eContact.

“Czink's music has super in-your-face density. It has a kind of vigorous ropiness about it. A little unnerving at times, it nevertheless makes you sit up and listen.”
–Douglas Hughes, The Georgia Straight.

“...the works exhibit a restless energy translated into organic formal development. This CD makes me want to hear Czink play these pieces live.”
–Andra McCartney, Musicworks.

John Oliver
(Canada)
composer/guitar & electronics

came to international attention during 1988/89 when he won six prizes for five compositions ranging from chamber to orchestral to electroacoustic music. Among these the “City of Varese Prize” at the 1988 Luigi Russolo Competition (Italy), and the Canada Council’s Grand Prize at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s 8th National Competition for Young Composers for his live electroacoustic work El Reposo del Fuego. Based on these successes, the Canadian Opera Company commissioned Oliver’s first opera, Guacamayo’s Old Song and Dance which they produced in Toronto and at the Banff Centre in 1991, the first full-length opera of their Composer-in-Residence Program.

Oliver has also been Composer-in-Residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Vancouver Opera, Vancouver Chamber Music Festival, and Music in the Morning, receiving commissions from them, as well as the National Arts Centre Orchestra, CBC Radio, CBC Radio Orchestra, Vancouver New Music, La Société de musique contemporaine du Québec, Ensemble Pierrot, and the St. Lawrence Quartet.

Oliver’s music has been heard at major international festivals, including the International Society for Contemporary Music World Music Days, the Juilliard School of Music Pacific Rim Festival, New Music Across America, Budapest Spring Festival, Ars Musica Festival (Brussels), Rendezvous Festival (London, England), En torno a los sonidos electrónicos (Mexico City), and the Subtropics III Music Festival (Miami, Florida), as well as in concert and on radio, in performances by The Borromeo String Quartet, Camerata Transsylvanica, Canadian Opera Company, CBC Radio Orchestra, New Music Concerts, Nouvelle Ensemble Moderne, L’Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal, National Arts Centre Orchestra, Pierrot Ensemble, Saint Lawrence String Quartet, Société de musique contemporaine du Québec, Vancouver New Music, Vancouver Opera, and others

As a performer, John Oliver co-founded two composer/performer groups: GEMS (Montréal), and MORE (Vancouver). He was active as guitarist, composer, conductor, and sound interpreter for GEMS from 1983-87, and MIDI guitarist with MORE from 1992-94. He has also appeared in special collaborations with composer/performers Sergio Barroso, François Houle, and Paul Dolden, and most recently with German composer/performer Rainer Bürck. As a soloist, Oliver has appeared at the Glenn Gould Conference in Toronto (1992) and at the BodyElectric/Guitarévolution festival in Toronto, Victoria & Vancouver in the fall of 1997 performing with Zeta™ MIDI guitar, computer-processing, and synthesizers. Icicle Blue Avalanche, a CD of solo and tape alone works, was released on the earsay label in May 1998.

.../Media Quotes

John Oliver’s CD Icicle Blue Avalanche

“...blasts from space-age brass instruments...repeatedly howl and bellow stately, powerfully ominous sustained chords...most engaging, creating an image of the guitar coming to life via some sorcerer's apprentice and doing mischief. A most effective and evocative piece [Copper Flying].”
– Robert Cummings, Computer Music Journal, summer 1999

“Earsay hits a new high with John Oliver's Icicle Blue Avalanche, one of the most viscerally dramatic discs I've heard in quite a while... huge slabs of extremely solid music.”
– George Zahora, Splendidezine.com

“Repeated listening...reveals some limpid melodic lines floating above unusual harmonic progressions, and occasional touches of humour.” – Douglas Hughes, The Georgia Straight.

“...shimmering bells of guitar, softly growling guitar.” – Andra McCartney, Musicworks.

../Media Quotes

"Ron Samworth (has) risen above (his) blackbox hardware to display (an) individual voice. Samworth's slinky and skronky." - Kevin Whitehead, Coda Magazine

"Samworth's electric guitar has an unusually versatile voice. Sometimes it shouts with bluesy passion; elsewhere it can take on a hyper-articulate sheen of intellectual vigour – (his guitar) seems to address all of the things that can't be said in more conventional terms." - Alex Varty, Georgia Straight

"Samworth's heavily processed electric guitar betrays near-industrial tendencies. His clanging machine sounds and plucked-harmonic bells add an otherworldly layer to the mix. quirky yet beautiful explorations." - Alex Varty, Georgia Straight (Vancouver)

"What allows Samworth to shatter stereotypes right at their base structure is his understanding of the art of improvisation. Samworth, and any group he plays with, is a musician to watch." - Laurence Svirchev, 5/4 Magazine (Seattle)

"...eerie atmospheric play punctuated by Samworth's wily guitar sound manipulation and penchant for very solid rhythmic propulsion. He digs in at unconventionally conventional moments... Andrew Bartlett Cadence Magazine

"- proficient at a number of styles. He can rock with appropriate growl, scratch and feedback, or can sound like Jim Hall with Paul Desmond." - Gary Bannister, Earshot Jazz (Seattle)
