carl stone electronic music concerts downtown, march 7-8

this from herb levy of other arts:

You may have heard music by Carl Stone before; Carol & I like his work a lot and we've played it for many people over the years. Whether or not you've heard his music before, I think you'll find these concerts to be pretty wonderful.

Carl takes music by other composers & performers (sometimes, but by no means always, something you may recognize) and digitally manipulates it so that you're hearing something entirely different. His music is great and not like much else you've heard (even if you recognize one of his sources). There are more details on the attached flyer. I hope that you'll come hear one of his concerts.

In case you can't read or open the attachment, Carl Stone is playing two nights in the Cliburn Recital Hall of the Maddox Muse Center at 330 4th Street in downtown Fort Worth. On Friday March 7, 2008 at 8PM, he'll be playing recent shorter pieces, including music from his recent CD "Al-Noor". On Saturday March 8, 2008 at 8PM, he'll be playing "Guelaguetza" an hour-long intermedia work with manipulated digital sound and images. Tickets for each concert are $25, $15 students & seniors; combined ticket packages for both nights are $40 & $25. Tickets are available from Bass Ticketing, 817 212-4280.

Also, if you know anyone in Austin who may be interested in Carl's music, please let them know that he'll be performing there twice in March. On March 5th at Ballet Austin at the Firehouse (3002 Guadalupe) 8PM (I think this concert is Guelaguetza) & on March 10th at Scholz Beer Garden (1607 San Jacinto) for an event sponsored by the Electronic Freedom Foundation as part of SxSW Interactive.
