>As a tribute to the adventurous spirit of Polestar, composer and
>sound sculptor Jeff Greinke (LAND) returns to his roots for a dynamic
>evening of improvised music with long-time collaborator Rob Angus.
>This will be their first performance together in ten years. Known for
>their unique, entertaining, and sometimes wild performances, Greinke
>will feed Angus a plethora of acoustic and electronic sounds using
>trombone, voice, percussion, guitar, synthesizers, and sampler. With
>a bank of looping devices and a variety of processing gear, Angus
>will manipulate Greinke's sounds. Together they will create
>multilayered music rich in texture, mood, and subtle detail,
>conjuring strange and beautiful places. Their shows are an aural and
>visual treat.

>PERFORMER BIOS
>
>Jeff Greinke is a musician, composer, performer, sound sculptor, and
>visual artist who is known worldwide for his unique sound. Through a
>highly developed process of layering, Jeff composes and performs
>music rich in texture, depth, mood, and subtle detail. Using various
>acoustic and electronic instruments, found sounds, and extended
>studio techniques, he sculpts sound worlds that conjure a strong
>sense of place, hovering somewhere between the exotic and the
>familiar.
>
>Jeff began composing and performing music in 1980 while studying
>meteorology at Pennsylvania State University. After moving to
>Seattle in 1982, Jeff formed the production company and recording
>label INTREPID, through which he produced his first LP, Cities in
>Fog. He has since released over twenty other recordings on various
>U.S. and European labels. His most recent is Wide View, released
>August 2002 on Hypnos. Jeff's music can also be heard on numerous
>compilation recordings. He has composed music for film, video,
>dance, theatre, radio, and art installations. Jeff has toured
>extensively throughout the United States and Europe and has performed
>in China, Canada, and Mexico. He has also been a member of numerous
>ensembles and is founder of the group LAND. Jeff's current ongoing
>project is a collaboration with former Sky Cries Mary vocalist Anisa
>Romero called Hana. In April 2001 they released their second album
>entitled Omen.
>
>Rob Angus has been working in sound and video production since 1982,
>and composing and performing since 1975. He received his Bachelor of
>Arts degree in Fine Arts from Pennsylvania State University in 1980,
>having studied music composition and theory, electronic music, film,
>sculpture, theatre, and a basic liberal arts curriculum. During his
>residence in Seattle from 1982 to 1991, he performed frequently in a
>variety of contexts, from duos and trios to bands, performance pieces
>and dance pieces, in galleries, museums, festivals and clubs, from
>San Francisco to Vancouver, Canada.
>
>Angus's professional experience include commissions to do sound
>installations, compose soundtracks for radio and television
>commercials, compose scores for dance pieces and videos, work as
>production assistant at Frank Video and sound production at Muzak. He
>also works as a photographer. He is primarily interested in abstract
>form, texture and color. He frequently processes his images on photo
>copy machines to enhance contrast, play with form and overlay images,
>and he has also found ways to use these enhanced images in
>three-dimensional sculptures.
