From time to time I've gone to her Geocities web site wondering whatever became of her, usually to find nothing at all new. Well, tonight I noticed there is a mention that she's back with a new album and some 2003 tour dates, but alas, most of the links are dead leading me to wonder if these things ever really materialized or if they're old news. Does anyone know anything at all about her - specifically, current events? http://www.geocities.com/anandaband/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 17:22:40 +0100 From: "Phil Tate" Subject: Once More With Feeling, once more... Hello all, sorry if this is old hat.... In the liner notes of OMWF, Joss writes that it took a year "and the tireless and occasionally devious efforts of Chris Buchanan" to get the soundtrack released. I also remember people in this very forum saying that they were pleased that he had managed to get the album released, as though there were incredible obstacles to overcome. So what exactly was the problem? Was it some kind of legal technicality? Rights, clearances, that sort of thing? Or was there more to it? And how were the problems solved? Thanks - just curious.

In performance she accompanies her diversely-influenced songs with electronic percussion and various voice processors, to build up thick layers of vocal harmonies and rhythms. An established figure in the Bay Area new music scene, Amy has also recorded and toured internationally with Robert Ashley's operas, performed for nine years with her avant-cabaret band Amy X Neuburg & Men, and presented her solo works at clubs, theatres, schools and festivals throughout the West. Here is a groovy quote: "On the big stage of the Palace of Fine Arts Theater she was nothing less than brilliant. Her stage persona transcended the gadgetry of loop and sample, taking flight when she stepped away from the flashing, glowing electronics and took the stage, coming closer to the audience... Neuburg has an artistry and potential that are truly compelling and may prove to be bigger than the local fishbowl can contain.

Yep, that was me! >Or whoever it was, please send it to me. :) I think I'd really enjoy it, >if I can get over the feeling that I don't have enough room... If you were to move furniture around, how many people could you fit in your living room (or finished basement, or whatever)? We can just about fit 25 in here, with the ability to spill over into the adjacent dining room (which came in handy when Vienna was here, and will be even handier this weekend for Happy's show). This is too small for some artists, but frankly, if an artist is *that* concerned about the capacity of someone's home, you probably don't want to be dealing with them anyway. The best outline of how to get started (keeping in mind that there is really no "right" or "wrong" way to do this, so long as basic common sense is applied) is at . I'll be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. If you (or any other ectophiles reading this) think you'd like to go for it, I would highly recommend answering Happy's call for venues nationwide. Really, people -- how cool would it be to have Happy come over to your house to sing for you?? I can say pretty definitively, the answer to that is Pretty Damned Cool. And for those ectophiles who have hosted house concerts in the past -- I'm assuming you've already e-mailed Happy with an offer. If not, get off your butt and do it!! This is the best opportunity EVER to bring Happy to your hometown, and finally give yourself a chance to show your friends exactly what you've been going on about all these years. Honestly, I'm surprised Happy's request here wasn't immediately followed by a flood of "OMG" responses. This is HUGE. As we help Happy put her tour together, I hope those involved will keep ecto apprised of the progress of the planning. And I'm sure I'm not the only house concert presenter here who will be happy to share tips on setup, how to publicize the event, etc. =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://muzak.smoe.org NEXT UP: Sloan Wainwright, 4/13 =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 15:27:58 -0800 (PST) From: kitty kat Subject: House concerts (was:Re: Vienna Teng at the Freight) On Tue, 1 Apr 2003, meredith wrote: > If you were to move furniture around, how many people could you fit in your > living room (or finished basement, or whatever)?

I'm pretty sure I could fit 4-5 rows of 5 chairs, and then some couches down the side, with room for the stage area, and also the same spillover dining room area. Plus, for that matter, the stairs leading upstairs would directly face the stage, allowing for some limited tiered seating. That sounds sufficiently comparable to your setup to put my mind at ease (yippee!). > > If you (or any other ectophiles reading this) think you'd like to go for > it, I would highly recommend answering Happy's call for venues > nationwide. Yeah, that's kind of what sparked my interest :) I already put myself on the list, and then figured I might want to learn a teensy bit more about it. I just think Happy should be heard by hundreds or thousands, and the idea of _any_ house being big enough to house the people wanting to hear her sounds impossible. Meth, how many people did you let sign up for your Happy gig?
