Longtime jazz collaborators Eddie Daniels and Roger Kellaway are reuniting in Santa Fe for a few days of rehearsal prior to their Washington DC Library of Congress concert in late February. Their plans include a February 23 concert in O’Shaughnessy Performance space on the SFUAD campus. Clarinetist Daniels and pianist Kellaway most recently collaborated on the 2009 CD release “A Duet of One” which has received critical acclaim from around the world. One reviewer described them as “two musicians who blend melody and spontaneity so well that they could improvise a symphony together.”

O’Shaughnessy Performance Space

Martin Back, composer, media artist, and sound provocateur works with computers, custom analog electronics, field recordings, and noise to create evocative and surprisingly sculptural sonic art. Martin Back will be in residence in the SFUAD Contemporary Music Program for the entire week, working with students on composition and sound design projects, and collaborating with them as he prepares for the Saturday concert.
Currently a graduate student at the University of North Texas, Martin Back studied film and video at the College of Santa under the tutelage of pioneering media theorist Gene Youngblood and media artist David Stout. He has studied experimental composition and sound art privately with composer David Dunn. Martin’s work is multiplicitous and makes use of drone, graphic and text scores, digital computers and software, custom analog electronics, field recordings, noise, custom instruments, and site specific performance. He performs often in various ensembles in New Mexico, including the Ancestral Groan Liberation Orchestra; the Soundpainting Orchestra of New Mexico; and the Transducers.
