Earth People
A free jazz collective led by drummer
/ percussionist Andre Martinez (former Cecil Taylor). Compositions
by Martinez, Jason Candler & guitarist Doug Principato. Joined
by a host of who's who in the current free music scene: Francois
Grillot, Mark Hennen, Sabir Mateen, Gunter Hampel, Elliot
Levin, Karen Borca, and more.
Group size varies from 3 - 10.
"Improvisation is one of the oldest traditions in jazz, and when it's employed
by those who seek to explode tradition, the results are exhilarating. This is
the new new music, an up-to-date message from jazz avant garde; the music is
alive and well, and Earth People is one of its strongest contributors." -
Florence Wetzel (All About Jazz NY)
"This is New World music, a New Age free jazz fusion poetry funk gumbo whose
geography is not only the planet but the soul." -Terrell Holmes (All About
Jazz NY)

The Sounds of Seismology
If you were standing on the surface of Earth during
an earthquake, you would hear a low rumble at the bottom of your ears’ limits
of perception; the rest you would feel. Now imagine you are deep inside
Earth, listening to the earthquakes popping and ringing around the surface.
A collaboration between sound designer Jason Candler & geophysicist
Ben Holtzman. A sound ring was constructed in October 2006 to play
back the sounds of wave propagation within the earth. The exhibit
is in constant evolution as new versions are being developed for museums,
schools, and public installations. |

Ese ... What if ... Festival
New York
Trumpeter Luca Fadda & Jason Candler started
the annual Ese Festival in 2005 as a means to bring together artists who
don't ordinarily perform together. The project seems to be working,
as new collaborations have been springing up in the few years since the
inception. |
