Jonathan Glancy, electric mbira - guest conductor
With Cyndi Adamo, Rick Surette, Clinton Deagan, Ethan Costello, Abram Taber, Tony Spaz. I plan on bringing my electric mbira, banjo/cello thingie, a timpani feedback machine, cymbals, a drum or two, and various modded/prepared guitars. I will encourage all to play instruments that they are not familiar with to try and engage their “beginners mind”.
X-Jam - a curated jam where musicians from all points of the musical landscape can meet to exchange ideas and turn-on to styles they might not encounter otherwise. The guest conductors are endowed with awesome powers to deploy musical resources and shape the proceedings to their whim.

THE SKETCHPAD
a.i.m. (advanced idea mechanics), launched in 2002, is a freeform collective dedicated to the advancement of fringe independent music, and the deconstruction of the stagnant commercial mainstream. a.i.m. functions as a subsidiary of local independent label Telepathy Records, both overseen by Elio DeLuca. a.i.m. curates “the sketchpad” concert series, which highlights artists from a wide variety of marginalized sonic art forms, including noise, loop, ambient, IDM, free improv, and sonic dance. Having produced events at the old Zeitgeist Gallery, as well as other locations in greater Boston, a.i.m. is proud to return the sketchpad to its rightful home at the new Zeitgeist, on the first Sunday of every month.

This twisted cabaret showcases the communitys most marginalized artists. Often having ten or fifteen performers a night, it has included work from Junior Science, Markus Nechay, Jonathan VIncent, The Yoists, Doktor Selenium & Madame Margo, Kuma Lisa, Lucrecia’s Daggers, and all manner of others. In a single night it would not be unusual to experience goth rockabilly, documentaries about uncondoned carnal pleasures, celtic harp, audience participatory experimentation, and raw-meat centered performance art. The Outest of the Out.
