Consilience And Altruism: Of The Other Way Of Thinking And Stephanie Stone

The Stone
Corner of Avenue C and 2nd Street
New York City, New York 10009
Price: $10
“A Bio-Musical Imaginative Theoretical Tribute” written and created by Ana Isabel Ordonez

Improvisational patterns and concepts by Herb Robertson

Design created by Claude Marc Bourget

Performed by: The Herb Robertson Sextet

The sense of exhilaration that characterize Herb Robertson’s experiences under improvisational patterns is heightened for his new sextet as storytellers by his complicated and sincere intellectual and emotional active exertion, and by the intensity of struggling with a creative process under the pressure of a steady beat. From the outset of this performance the improvisers will enter into an artificial world of time in which reactions to the unfolding events of Stephanie must be immediate. The consequence of their music and action will be irreversible.

Line up:

Herb Robertson sextet with Marty Erhlich, David Taylor, Terry McManus, Mark Helias & Jay Rosen

In this performance the accent will be based on behaviour during a musical and graphical event with the spontaneous attitudes of performers which will aid the audience to assess the musical moment and interpret their subtleties. As in fiction and projecting an M as for Movie, Monkeytown, Montgomery, and Mystery… we will present in four interactive screens original conceived Neo-Noir images …. The performances comprise a constantly changing environment around the orbit of the time line and it will underlie polymetric foundations.

Guests saxophone & piano

Shades of Jazz On Noir- Film and Music project

The “Shades of Jazz on Noir” film presents excerpts from the classic film noir works of the 1940s and 1950s crafted to express the fatality, passion, and danger created by directors who pioneered the lively lighting techniques and psychologically expressive approach to classic noir. It’s is viewed from the Femme Fatale of those classics creating a fresh and unusual media experience.
This film combines the passion and despondency of classic film noir with the texture and dynamism of modern jazz, resulting in a unique, growth oriented experience for film, jazz and new music audiences.

This highly original project features the Herb Robertson’s Freak Lip Kill Band who will literally plate Jazz on Noir.

A Touch of Noir – Film and Music project

A Touch  Of Noir
Film by Ana Isabel Ordonez and François Olivieri.
Music composed by Michiel Braam.
Narrated by Herb Robertson.
Performed by Bad City Band.

“A Touch of Noir” brings about a new music approach to classic film noir history correcting the disembodiment that existed in the original scores, making a dark and ominous dramatic effect. The improvisers will combine blues and swing and some written excerpts with the film “A Touch of Noir” simultaneously. The effect of this live performance will instantly create a score for the film and two separate media experiences or one total experience together. This film has been performed in Europe (Luxembourg, Netherlands) and USA (New York). Film noir and spontaneous music convey an interesting analysis on life’s improvisations.
