Jon Rose is an Australian violinist born in the UK in 1951.[1] Rosenberg began playing violin at age 7 after winning a music scholarship to King's School in Rochester. For over 35 years, Rosenberg has been at the sharp end of new, improvised, and experimental music and media.

A polymath, Rose is at much at home creating large environmental multi-media works as he is playing the violin on a concert stage. Central to this practice has been 'The Relative Violin' project, a unique output, rich in content, realising almost everything on, with, and about the violin and string music in general. Most celebrated is the worldwide Fence project; least known are the relative violins created specifically for and in Australia. Part of this performance will be a video / violin performance from this project.

Rose is also a famous free-improvisor: he has appeared on over 60 albums, and worked with artists such as Kronos Quartet, Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, Shelley Hirsh, Chris Cutler, Otomo Yoshihide, KK Null, Alvin Curran, Evan Parker, Phil Minton, John Cage, Tony Oxley, Steve Beresford, Eugene Chadbourne, Bob Ostertag, Jim Denley, Elliott Sharp, George Lewis, Christian Marclay, Toshinori Kondo, Joelle Leandre, Frances-Marie Uitti, Barre Phillips, and John Zorn.

Rose has had a long and rich history with Baltimore experimental music, having performed many times at the Red Room, High Zero, and in collaboration with Baltimore improvisors. He will peform solo and with Baltimore improvisors that will be annouced here in the coming months.

In this concert he will play solo and in free improvising ensemble with Neil Feather (inventions), Susan Alcorn (pedal steel), and Dan Breen (drums)--a super group of unusual Baltimore improvisors.

Flandrew Fleisenberg and Neil Feather | Peter B

A duo of unconventional improvisors: Neil Feather and Flandrew Fleisenberg.
Making new friends is a major part of the Red Room related festival High Zero. Feather and Fleisenberg hit it off and decided they needed to play together. So, tonight two men with great enthusiasm for experimental music willfully collaborate to make some of the wobbliest, the buzziest, the clangiest, and the boingiest music that has ever happened at the Red Room.

PB: Peter Blasser plays the Plumbutter.
This same night, you can see Peter Blasser performing on his brand new, handmade-for-your-Holliday-gifting, drum and drama machine: Plumbutter. For a preview of what this instrument can do, see his website.

Bios:
Flandrew Fleisenberg plays percussion on an assortment of everyday ephemera and modified drum parts that he has reduced and eroded through a process of playing and breaking them. A graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with a focus in conceptual art, he is musically self-taught and has developed a cadre of idiosyncratic techniques that are all his own. Flandrew has been involved in the improvised and creative music community since 2001 performing solo, in ad-hoc improv groupings and in set projects. Additionally, he organizes an ongoing series of performances at the flopera house in Boston.

Sound Mechanic Neil Feather has been creating radical and unusual musical instruments for thirty years, and is increasingly known outside of Baltimore as one of the most original musical thinkers of his day. His instruments each embody uniquely clever acoustic and engineering principles, and are visually arresting. The music he plays on the instruments is equally original, embodying new principles and resulting in a nearly alien idiom of music. A founding member of THUS and THE OFFICIAL PROJECT, as well as the leader of AEROTRAIN, he has a long history of collaborative projects and solo concerts.

Peter Blasser was introduced to "the maestro" in a fourth grade assembly. This kind conductor of the micro-kid band introduced the wind instruments available and Peter chose the tuba because it was the least practical. His parents put up with its bellows until high school when he diversified to banjo. Unallowed to purchase an Ud, Peter built one in the basement, thus beginning his career of "I will interface with reality by building a sound object".
