In 1995, Ms. Kimura was awarded the Kenzo Nakajima Music Prize, a prestigious honor in recognition of extraordinary creative activities in her native Japan. She has performed her own work in festivals and concerts in over 17 countries including the Spring in Budapest Festival, the Musiana Festival in Denmark, Festival Callejon del Ruido in Mexico, and the International Symposium of Electronic Art (ISEA) in Helsinki and Rotterdam. She has also gained international renown as an accomplished improviser touring with leading artists including Henry Kaiser, Robert Dick, Jim O'Rourke, and Elliott Sharp. As a composer, Ms. Kimura's most recent commission was the ICMC 2001 award to write a new work for violin, Cuban percussion and electronics, which will premiere in Havana, Cuba this September. Ms. Kimura holds a doctorate in performance from Juilliard, and has taught and presented lectures in universities and conservatories throughout the world. Earl Howard Earl Howard's method of creating orchestrated sounds with electronics, adding live, improvisational performance, creates unique, densely layered compositions that have been widely performed to enthusiastic audiences. Howard's personal vision translates itself to the ensemble situation so effectively that even the sense of spontaneity is retained, though the material is clearly composed. Howard graduated from California Institute of the Arts in 1974 and has been performing his compositions in the United States and Europe for the past thirty years. His most recent compositions have been music for live electronics, electronic tape music, and instruments - including Pancho Via's Spoon, and Episteme Ensemble which premiered at Merkin Hall in New York City, and Abondigas Soup performed at The Royal Conservatory in Den Hague, Holland. He has received commissions and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York Foundation on the Arts, and The Parabola Arts Foundation. A virtuoso saxophonist, Howard has developed an extended repertoire for this instrument including Cinco Centavos for solo saxophone and Naked Charm for saxophone and tape which was performed at the New Music America festival in Hartford, Connecticut. Amongst a community of brilliant musicians, Howard has performed and recorded with Anthony Davis, and Gerry Hemingway; and done improvisational work with Georg Graewe, Ned Rothenberg, Mari Kimura, Mark Dresser, Yuko Fujiyama, Evan Parker and John Zorn. He has produced numerous soundtracks for some of the leading film and video artists including Nam June Paik, Mary Lucier, Rii Kanzaki, Bob Harris, and Bill Brand. _______________________________________________ locone mailing list locone@mail.location1.org http://mail.location1.org/mailman/listinfo/locone _______________________________________________ Nettime-ro mailing list Nettime-ro@nettime.org http://amsterdam.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-ro --> arhiva: http://amsterdam.nettime.org/
