ELLEN FULLMAN


Austin New Music Co-op Presents: Ellen Fullman & The Long String Instrument

Composer-performer and former Austinite Ellen Fullman returns to Austin with her 100 foot long string instrument for the first time in 12 years. Rare performance to be held at the historic downtown Seaholm Power Plant.

Saturday, March 13th - 8PM
Sunday, March 14th - 8PM
Both performances at The Seaholm Power Plant
214 West Avenue Austin, TX 78701
$12 students/advance and $15 at door
Advance tickets available now at End of an Ear http://endofanear.com

NMC is thrilled to present Ellen Fullman and her Long String Instrument for a long-overdue homecoming performance. Austin audiences will have the opportunity to step into the turbine hall of a historic power plant and be enveloped by dense masses of sound from a 100 foot long string instrument. This experience is akin to stepping into an enormous grand piano. Fullman's rare visit also celebrates the SXSW world premiere of Peter Esmonde's in-depth documentary film about her music entitled "5 variations on a long string."

Ellen Fullman called Austin home from 1985 to 1997, and rented studio space in a former candy factory off Manor Road east of the University. It was there that she developed many aspects of her work and her very unique instrument. Using incredible lengths of wire and custom built wooden resonators, Fullman transformed the hardwood-floored building into a gigantic instrument. Breaking with all conventions of string playing, she rosined her hands and walked along the lengths of wire coaxing out otherworldly vibrations.

Over the past 25 years, Ellen Fullman has taken that original idea, carefully refined it, and brought it to the world by performing throughout the Europe, Japan, and the Americas. For this incredibly rare event, Fullman and NMC will construct the Long String Instrument inside a particularly resonant Austin landmark: the magnificent turbine hall of the 1930's Art Deco Seaholm Power Plant. In two very special concerts, Ellen Fullman will perform her compositions solo and in ensemble with NMC instrumentalists James Alexander (viola), Henna Chou (cello), Nick Hennies (percussion), and Travis Weller (violin).

FREEFALL


Ingebrigt Håker Flaten in association with Epistrophy Arts present the Texas debut of internationally acclaimed jazz trio Free Fall on March 12.

FREE FALL
Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (Austin) – double bass
Håvard Wiik (Oslo, Berlin) - piano
Ken Vandermark (Chicago) – clarinets

Friday March 12, 8PM doors 7:30
AAMP
411 West Monroe
Austin, TX 78704 (map)
advance tickets available Feb. 12 at End of An Ear and Waterloo Records
$12 advance, $15 door

Free Fall was organized by bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, reedist Ken Vandermark, and pianist Håvard Wiik in 2001 as an opportunity to work together in a chamber music environment and without percussion. Inspired in part by Texas jazz legend Jimmy Giuffre's classic group with Paul Bley and Steve Swallow, the band quickly found its own voice, utilizing velocity, space, and sound by incorporating combinations of pulse-based and open time, distributing melodic responsibility through its fragmentation, and building expression through a dialectic between understatement and explosiveness.

For this Austin debut performance, the trio will be performing in support of the upcoming release 'Gray Scale' on the Norwegian label Smalltown Superjazz. Grey Scale features material that is completely improvised.
