LOS ANGELES – For two nights at Venice’s Beyond Baroque, rebar will be struck and lyrics will be screamed as the adventurous local chamber orchestra wild Up takes on the hypercomplex computer music of Clarence Barlow with an exuberant set of Barlow’s works, plus the composer’s 19th and 20th century influences: player pianos and punk rock.

“This is a guy who uses computer programs to cover Prince’s ‘Sexy MF,’” said wild Up conductor and artistic director Christopher Rountree. “We’ll bring the earplugs.”

The program will include Barlow’s “Septima de facto,” pieces by George Antheil and Conlon Nancarrow, a set of piano rags, and interpolations of seminal punk rock songs by The Misfits, X-Ray Spex, Fear and Black Flag.
The Nov. 18 and 19 performances mark wild Up’s debut at Beyond Baroque, one of West L.A.’s signature cultural spaces.

Who: wild Up
What: “Clarence Barlow, Punk Rock and Player Piano Music”
Where: Beyond Baroque, 681 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA
When: Friday 11/18 at 9 PM; Saturday 11/19 at 9 PM (the program will be the same both nights)
Cost: $10 general admission – to purchase, go to:

About wild Up:
wild Up is a 24-member experimental classical/contemporary ensemble comprised of Los Angeles musicians committed to creating visceral, thought-provoking happenings. The group, led by artistic director and conductor Christopher Rountree, unites around the belief that no music is off limits, and that a concert space should be as moving as the music heard in it: small, powerful and unlike anything else. wild Up projects bring people together, defy convention and address the need for heart-wrenching, mind-bending experiences.

Gene Pritsker Sound Liberation Ensemble
Jazz merges with hip-hop, classical, rock, funk, etc. Eclecticism reaches its climax. Sound Liberation is an eclectic jazz /hip-hop/chamber/rock/etc.ensemble. The group incorporates its philosophy by performing compositions that encompass a diverse range of musical genres, committed to “ending the segregation of sound vibration”. This enables one to hear elements from classical music to Jazz to music of various cultures at a Sound Liberation show. “The freedom of sounds. . .is truly implemented in a masterful way” – Thorsten Bendnarz, Jazzethic Magazine.
Official Website www.soundliberation.net

Franz Hackl’s IDO Quartet
Jazz grooves infused by the melodies of Tyrolean folk music. IDO stands for Idiomo di Omni and means dialect for everybody. An idiom is an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its constituent elements.. Franz Hackl merges ‘Tyrolean Folktunes’ the musical dialect he grew up with, with the music and sounds of New York, the town he calls home for more then 20 years. Music isn’t an universal language. Music has as many dialects as the human language. But the Global Village aka New York is the perfect breeding ground for a fresh new language. The beauty of diversity which propels the evolution of Jazz.

Trio Amalgamate
Jazz inspired by modern composition and free improvisation
|əˈmalgəˌmāt| – verb – combine or unite to form one organization or structure. Trio Amalgamate is Gene Pritsker – guitar, Dan Cooper – 7 string electric bass and Gernot Bernroider – drums. Their music is new Jazz. Inspired by free improvisation and contemporary composition.

Marigold Opera
Marigold Opera is an emerging force in the burgeoning NYC indie classical scene. Equally influenced by Brahms and The Beatles, their instrumentation is that of an eclectic chamber group helmed by a singer/songwriter. Marigold Opera has a unique, acoustic sound palette featuring cello, violin, horn, percussion, piano, clarinet, vibraphone, and voice. With these sounds they create music that is at the same time elusive and emotionally evocative
