:: About Christopher Willits ::
For over 10 years Christopher Willits has been pioneering guitar signal processing and patterning. Using custom-built software, Willits morphs his guitar playing into warm folded rhythms of texture and melody. Guitar lines fold and weave into each other creating complex patterns of interlocking rhythm, melody, and texture.
WIllits has created over 15 music releases over the last 7 years, and every release sees Willits taking chances and expanding his creative vision. In addition to his solo work, a vast range of music collaborations, sound installations, and film/video projects compel him. His band project Flossin involves Zach Hill, Kid606, Nate Boyce, and Matmos, The North Valley Subconscious Orchestra is Willits and Brad Laner, formerly of Medicine. Other frequent collaborators include Scott Pagano, Taylor Deupree, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Willits’ numerous releases and collaborative projects cover a broad spectrum of musical styles, and include one main commonality: Willits’ unique approach to the guitar and sound.
Willits completed his Master’s Degree in Electronic Music at Mills College where he studied with Pauline Oliveros and Fred Frith. At Mills he explored structure-generating processes in music; a focus not unfamiliar to former Mills affiliates John Cage and Steve Reich. Prior to Mills, Willits focused on painting, video art, sound art and music at the Kansas City Art Institute.
In addition to all of this, Willits is Founder / Director the emerging culture hub of releases, events, and sharing at Overlap.org.

This is a call for works of any length for trombone and electronics for performance by trombonist Haim Avitsur in Montreal.
New York trombonist Haim Avitsur (see biography below) will be visiting Montreal in February 2010 to give a workshop and concert at Concordia University’s music department (electroacoustic studies). The concert will take place on February 17th at the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall and a workshop on composing for instruments and electronics is scheduled on the previous day.
We invite compositions of any length for trombone and electronics for the concert. The electronics part may be fixed (“tape”) or live, in which case the composer is to perform the electronics part. You may submit completed pieces or shorter etude-like compositions.
Expressing interest:
If interested in this opportunity, please first email Eldad Tsabary
trombone@yaeldad.com a statement of interest that includes the following:
1. Are you going to submit an existing or a newly composed piece?
2. Approximate length of the piece
3. Is the piece for fixed or live electronics
4. How many channels (for fixed or live) and what other considerations (for live)
5. Will you attend? (not a requirement for fixed pieces)
Dates:
January 5th 2010 – expression of interest
January 27th 2010 – absolute deadline for submitting the pieces
You are encouraged to send drafts to the trombonist ahead of time for comments and practice.
Format:
The format of the concert is not yet fixed, and it will be flexible to a certain extent to the format of the selected pieces, so we are open to a variety of setups, including 8.1 multichannel audio and video. Let us know what you have in mind.

Futura 2010 Call for works
Oct 9th 2009
For its 2010 edition, the Futura festival is looking for fixed media works (acousmatic music, musique concrète, video art, hörspiel, etc.) around the ‘travel diary’ thematic.
The sent works may be ‘real’ diaries, elaborated with sound takes and/or recognizable images, but these diaries may also be ‘abstract’, without any identifiable sounds, concentrating only on remaining traces, impressions. The works evolving between these two poles are also, indeed, welcome.
It is all about drawing a large and original view of the ‘travel diary’, which is not only a journey in a geographical space, but rather the expression of an experience or a view on the surrounding world. As such, it is not absolutely necessary to have crossed back and forth the whole planet to submit a proposal, obviously travels are also metaphoric. It can be expressed through very diverse aesthetics and forms.
Nonetheless, we are not looking for ‘raw’, ‘objective’ soundscapes or field-recordings. To the contrary, we would like to program subjective works, and place at the centre of this thematic the perception of the traveller-composer-artist.
The submissions:
- The limited number of submissions is 2 works by composer, excepting works with video which amount is not limited.
- Only sonic works on tape medium should be submitted (acousmatic/concrète, radiophonic art…).
Please do not send proposals for live electronics or performances.
- Preference is given to stereophonic music (multiphonic works may be accepted, but always if a stereo mix is provided for the selection process).
- Works including video are also encouraged.
-Deadline for the reception of works on CD Audio only (no cd-r or DVD-Audio) or DVD (for videos) is fixed before January 31 2010 (post-marked).
At the following address: Futura, 62, avenue de Flandre F-75019 Paris, France.
- Fill necessarily the form you’ll find as an attachment and send it by email: info@festivalfutura.fr
- Also send by email a program note about the submitted work (20 lines max), a short biography and a picture (.tiff or .jpg) to info@festivalfutura.fr

The Voice – Stephanie Pan
Sep 30th 2009
Set 1: Stephanie Pan – Our Lady of Late for voice and wine glass
Tuesday September 22, 2009
Stephanie Pan (US/NL)
Stephanie Pan is a singer and performance artist currently based in The Hague, the Netherlands. She performs in experimental music, new music, experimental theater and early music, specializing in extended vocal techniques and live improvisation. At the root of her work is the notion of pure communication; finding a form of contact with the audience which is stripped of social expectations and distractions, that speaks beyond the conventional and social limitations and constructs of language.
The Voice – Stephanie Pan from STEIM Amsterdam on Vimeo.
As a soloist she has performed in the US and in Europe, premiering works by composers including John Thow, Martijn Padding, Trevor Weston, Barbara Ellison and Jasna Velickovic. In theater, she performs with groups such as de Veenfabriek and the Belarus Free Theatre. She is one-third of Computer Aided Breathing, a trio for voice, organ and live electronics devoted to live improvisation, which she co-founded in 2006. The group released its first CD, Fukuoka Method, in 2007 on SevenInchRecordings. As a Medievalist, she has recorded with Sequentia and is a founding member of Scivias Chor and Ars Choralis Coeln.
Ms. Pan holds a BA from UC Berkeley in Music and Applied Mathematics and a First Phase Diploma, with distinction, in Classical Singing from The Royal Conservatory, The Hague, where she studied with Lenie van den Heuvel, Jill Feldman and Barbara Pearson. She is currently a participant in the post-graduate experimental theater program DasArts.
Our Lady of Late is a study on the use of the voice as a pure and primitive expressive instrument, stripped of the layers and conventions established by culture and society that mask our attempts to communicate.
The performance incorporates both improvisations inspired by and excerpts from the 16-movement piece by Meredith Monk of the same name, written in 1972.
