Quadrupled quadrophenic quadraphilia embarks from the Peacock this THUR 8pm all-ages when Chris Cooper smashes the champagne on a quad surround speaker array. Clambor aboard for an unforgettable night of multichannel audio starting with ANGST HASE Pfeffer NASE so get fed and plan your clamborings on time, this night is NOT to be missed.

Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase
Chris Cooper brings withering critique of fear's own coping mechanism: logic. Given human cowardice, he gently myofascializes weak forces upon amplifying waves, directing gravity through his own hands into heaps of pie cutters, spinning tops, stiff brushes, long strings, and power amplifiers, to gently embolden all who, alas, must one day perish. Whipped topping to this brief life may be all we should hope to get.

Mere hours away, don't miss Kristin Miltner TONIGHT 8pm at the Peacock Lounge, 552 Haight, SF all-ages notaflof.

Kristin Miltner
Video game consoles are designed to seize you by the roll of quarters and pull you headlong into unfolding multidimensional space. At least that's how it is when Kristin Miltner is the composer and designer. Her custom software is at the splattering edge of spatial audio mapping for dynamic interactive music systems. There's a darker side, much darker, as any who heard her piece "Stunned Night" at the SF Tape Music Fest this year can attest. Your avatar boots have no laces but strap em on anyway and trot diagonally into the Peacock Lounge.

Put your ear-drummed brains in the path of this!! All new music from Blectum from Blechdom tomorrow THUR 2/12 8pm at the Peacock Lounge, 552 Haight, SF all-ages.

Blevin Blectum
Bevin Kelley is one half of the duo Blectum From Blechdom, the hypnogogic duo who recently returned from deep space hibernation with the album 'Deep Bone' on Deathbomb Arc. Bevin relocated from Seattle to the wilds of the Mendocino Coast and now her solo project, also on Deathbomb Arc, hurtles us into the glow of space. There she's likely to intrude upon the orbit of Kristin Miltner for stellar encore. Not to be missed, wear your moon boots!

As always, deep thanks to The Peacock Lounge for making this music series possible. Art spaces can be precarious, with the closing of CCA, the sale of the Redstone Bldg which houses The Lab (help them buy the building!), and CounterPulse in hibernation, and on and on... don't forget to use or lose your underground venues.

THURS Jan 15, 8pm-11pm

Flatways, Toussaint St. Negritude, Julia Mazawa, Sung Kim
Peacock Lounge, 552 Haight, SF
All-ages, $5-$15 notaflof

Flatways
Drummers are seriously goofy, I mean look at what they're doing. They try acting serious in hopes no one will grab away their favorite implements, and they'll use anything besides a drumstick so you can't easily know they're drummers. But they are. And having a laugh riot never moreso than when the audience sits rapt and pensive. Of course, they're really insanely good at it too, but still. When there's more than one drummer, the collective noun is "a corps" and that cracks them up too, or rather, it reminds them to cement their deceptive grimmace keeping the plain ridiculousness of it all to themselves. The triumvirate Jordan Glenn, Sudhu Tewari and Matt Robidoux are virtuosi of the grim visage. Don't let them get away with it, come laugh and cheer and point at Flatways inside the Peacock Lounge!

Puttin' the don cherry on your xmascake and eating it too, THUR 12/11 8PM at the Peacock Lounge 552 Haight in SF we bring you the all-ages movable feast that is....

Human Deselection & Realization Nature Group
Beast, glove, and misunderstanding, raised awareness for a razed world. Let that stoned-stereo bumblebee from Ummagumma finally sting you. Quit swatting and ducking, it's time to hurt, swell up, rise with the oceans, gyre together with the blessed forsaken, preterites all. Anthony A. Russell and Michael Goldwater are tone scientists the likes of whom Socrates gladly beer-bonged his hemlock, never guiding, but nudging your ears astray.

Don't miss these multi-camera edits (special thanks to CatherineLee415) from the Ratskin Records takeover at the might y Peacock Lounge. Amazing sets, what a night. A week from tonight is the next show, see you soon!

#experimentalMusic #peacockloungeSF

20 years ago to the day I first met MikeD of Ratskin/Malocculsion/Nerfbau/Styrofoam Sanchez. Ask me how I know the date? Oct. 20, 2005 was the first release party for a new label I launched with Hans Grusel: Resipiscent. Mike showed up at Hotel Utah, super supportive as all who know him will attest, and he said he was launching his own new label too, Ratskin Records!

Seems uncanny then that TODAY we're announcing a Ratskin Records takeover of the Peacock Lounge on Nov. 13 feat Ratskin artists some of whom are on Resipiscent as well, Loachfillet being one and I had to cajole Mike into playing a special, brief, Nerfbau solo set. He'll go first so DON'T BE LATE!

Antimatter
What is the control voltage of static electricity that courses over your skin standing each of five million hairs straight on end? Can the answer be derived quantitatively from the waveforms cascading against malleus, anvil and stapes to trigger follicle surge? Or is math itself lost in the abstraction to qualitative, perceptual, and metaphysical sense? Such shortcuts to madness are best explored through the complexities of minimal materialism, particles of sound as sculpted by Antimatter, the solo project of Xopher Davidson.

Seldom seen, indelibly unforgettable, Famous Techno (not at all techno) is finally tomorrow! Don't miss her THUR 7/10 at the very legendary Peacock Lounge 552 Haight, SF 8pm.

Can not wa it !

Famous Techno
The incandescent presence of Kim West is well known to Bay Area humans who've seen her fronting such prolific bands as Crack W.A.R. and Death Sentence: Panda! There's also her striking and unmistakable visual art and design practice at ALTR Studio. But recognition is often only skin deep. For those who would detect the nuclear clock burning at the core of a star you'd better be prepared to still your mind and listen. West's precise experiments with synthesizer reveal between oscillations, beneath dazzling shifts and smeared frequencies, between darkness and light, there rests a first-stillness from whence the cosmos blinds all the night. If you find yourself leaping suddenly from your seat, even odds say you won't come down again.

Not long for the Bay Area, this THURS 8pm at the Peacock Lounge will be a sweet parting for friends, fans, and public before Sholeh Asgary steers her ship straight into the FL hurricane. Take courage!

Sholeh Asgary
Iranian-born interdisciplinary sound artist Sholeh Asgary's work implicates you in future mythological excavations, bridging large swathes of time and history through water, water clocks, crude oil, movement, light, voice, AM transmissions, frequency interference and language. For Asgary the environment and innate properties of everyday objects become the ether for direct communication.

Portent of an end to all nations, the post-industrial future has always already been right now. Invert facial recognition, turn your flesh and bone into an ultrasensitive worldclockface and finally let yourself glow in the dark this Thurs, 8pm at the Peacock Lounge 552 Haight, SF 8pm, all-ages notaflof.

Audre
Michael Gendreau (Crawling With Tarts) and Jorge Bachman (Ruidobello) work from the inside out, an ancient seed set deep in a dark mass proves to anything but silent if you can get your mind's ear in there. No tree falling, no missed forest, no hands clapping, Audre summons infrasound beyond silence. You mustn't miss this chance to bury your eyes and plumb the depths of structures within structures within forms within time. Disregard the modular synths, shortwave radio, turntables and field recorders arrayed before the musicians, what you'll hear cannot be seen.

There's nothing for it but to be there when members of the Sun Ra Arkestra, the Fred Frith trio, and Cartoon Justice join the legendary Elliott Levin inside the Peacock Lounge, 552 Haight, SF, Thurs Feb.13. Expecting a storm? They'll give you a storm.

Elliott Levin Ensemble
Elliott Levin is a Philly legend, poet, master of tenor sax and flute. An ESP-Disk & Ayler Records recording artist, he's played with Cecil Taylor, Odean Pope, the Sun Ra Arkestra and tonight will be joined by the Arkestra's own Kash Killion with Tom Rollison on guitar and the incomparable Jordan Glenn on drums.

If anyone can keep up with the polyrhythm of atmospheric riverrain outside, it's the ever attuned deep resonators Shanna Sordahl and Robert Lopez! Too long away from the Peacock Lounge, that all changes this THURS 8pm.

You won't melt, the 6, 7, 22 and taxis all drop off on the Peacock block. Come out!

SO AR
Shanna Sordahl and Robert Lopez are masters of the unwinding, the deep hang, and immersion in potential itself. Their music probes consciousness as an ever slowing flow of time. Through long walks to site specific musical collaborations with dear friends including Danishta Rivero and Jacob Heule, Aaron Oppenheim and Kevin Robinson, they find possibility in intimacy. Sordahl wields cello and electronics while Lopez embraces all manner of sonic percussion. Together they unburden perception, breathing to transform and retune awareness and in the process subverting unexamined conventions, returning potency to music and conviviality to performance.

Hearing Colleen Twitty's past several sets, from Haley's Comet cult lift-off at godwaffles to Day of Noise this past Saturday, has me edge of seat for what's coming next... as in, THURS 8pm at the Peacock Lounge. 552 Haight.

I mean how much high-lower can it go!? Crawling across your ceiling, all species of fur will fly when TanukiSpiderCat drops down on your tuffet. What's a tuffet? What's anything? Be honest!

TanukiSpiderCat
Colleen Twitty's solo practice has as many fangs as bright yellow eyes, all of 'em fixin to sink into you. From crouch to pounce, TanukiSpiderCat's flurry of tooth, claw, fluff, cello, modular synth, and meows nudges you along, pinning your mind with lethal-swift soft paddycakes of pure desire.

Come jump in the sonic deep end tonight Aug8 at The Peacock Lounge (552 Haight, SF) with the only and mighty Mitchell Brown (née: Nanny Cantaloupe) on tour from Los Angeles. 8pm all-ages! Rapid test please, so easy, that virus is sneaky.

Mitchell Brown
Deep calling unto deep, giant squid tangle in the watery dark. The hypercephalic Mitchell Brown focuses his inky eye some time on the material world, the rest of the time a weather system roils within his mantle leaking into our world as waveforms. An LA native, Brown runs the Melon Expander label and is the first phone call for electronic music luminaries whose legendary conversations and live performances air on KXLU's Glossolalia with Don Bolles as well as the Perplexagon show on Dublab radio.

Amanda Chaudhary
Amanda Chaudhary's gaze, her custom software synths, her modular synthesizers, theramin, kids' toys, and all manner of folk instruments combine to confound and awaken the heretofore undiscovered sensibilities of her audiences. Chaudhary is also a photographer, fashion model, designs technology for creativity, collaborates with poet performer Maw Shein Win in Pitta of the Mind, and operates the foremost blog on cats and synthesizers, CatSynth.

Really do take time to listen to Gabby Wen recordings before coming to this show, a little prep goes a long way to tuning your ear for what's about to go down inside the Peacock Lounge this Thurs. Super excited.

Gabby Wen
Gabby Wen mainly works with sound in the form of improvisation and composition, focusing on the immediate corporal response to each sonic event, intentional or accidental, audible or inaudible, of its evolving/decaying physical existence and manifestation in time during playing. If you get right down, cheek to ground, you'll notice that Wen levitates ever so slightly, only a little so as not to alarm mere mortals.
