*Joseph Benzola with Ritual in Four Parts (Trinity)

• Improvisation I: Electronic drone; guitar; xylophone, bells, metallic percussion, whistles, bamboo flute, laptop processing; open space and meditative; guitar plays long tones/drones against electronic drone, tuned to it or opposed; rhythm instruments play timbre-oriented rather than a pattern/closed rhythmic base.
• Improvisation II: Tuned bells/tabla; mrimba/balafon; two drumsets, one played with mallets, the other played with sticks; guitar; rhythmic material feeds guitar material; marimba/balafon changes to set with sticks; tabla/tuned bells changes to set with mallets.
• Improvisation III: DrumKat plays Nord lead through ring modulator-pattern oriented rhythm; drumset plays free, aggressive, drone like rhythms; guitar solos through dense rhythmic configuration; shenai/drum duet; guitarist switches to percussion (little instruments) switching instruments at will; short drum/percussion interlude.
• Improvisation IV: Piano; drums/percussion; guitar

*Loons in the Monastery (Trinity)

• Loons: Donald Gets Off. Synthesizers, distortion and delay-processed percussion/whistles/vocals. If only Disney knew of Donald's secret pleasures...
• Loons: Dissonance is Gliss. Synthesizers, delay-processed viola. Delay effects produce, in effect, a viola with an incredibly long and flange-y release envelope. This, coupled with odd playing techniques (behind the bridge etc.) produce an other-worldly keening effect. Synthesist creates a neo-romantic wind and string foundation.
• Loons: Martian Pedophile. Synthesizers, ring-modulated and delay processed viola. Viola is molested while synthesist channels Kurt Weil by way of Timothy Leary.
• Loons: Raised By Jackals. Synthesizers, delay-processed whistles/vocals. A penny whistle with a shakuhachi complex competes for your affections with synthetic jackals and a mutant Gamelan orchestra.
• Loons: I-Spy. Synthesizers, delay-processed guitar/vocals. Our most accessible piece ever! Yes, even yer grandma can probably stand this one... at least for awhile. Like New Age, but with more ammonia!
• Loons: Partched. Synthesizers, ring-modulated guitar, delay-processed whistles. When we play this, Harry Partch spins in his grave like a bloody turbine, a new potential source of alternative energy that we are proposing to Dick Cheney.
• Loons: Archangel. Synthesizers, delay looped guitar. While guitar explores superimposed modal figures, synthesist plays a muted cello score.
• Loons: Wired. Synthesizers, delay processed guitar. Guitar is played using a slide edge in the right hand to rub the strings and normal left-hand fretting. This produces long violin-like tones without the normal percussive guitar attack. The use of the slide also effectively creates a new bridge, which alters the scale length and hence the tuning of the guitar and creates a microtonal environment. Synthesist attempts to make you nervous.

Documentation & Post-Festival Creations

• Festival Video recorded and re-created by Sue Doherty
• Festival Emcee is Nicholas "Spike" Maggio

The Ought-One Festival is produced by Kalvos & Damian and its own sponsoring organizations (the Onion River Arts Council, the Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble, the Consortium of Vermont Composers, and Malted/Media). The Festival is generously hosted by the churches of Montpelier, Vermont. Coordination of grants, activities, and funding is being done in several cities. The key organizer in New York City, and a driving force behind The Ought-One Festival, is composer Phil Kline. The Festival is ultimately made possible by the composers and performers themselves.

Kalvos & Damian has allocated part of its program fund (including a portion of the Argosy Foundation gift) to The Ought-One Festival, has sponsorship from the Consortium of Vermont Composers program fund, and is raising private sponsorship, including its underwriters.

As with all Kalvos & Damian events, planning is 'virtual' -- that is, information is available on the Web and via email ([email protected]). The Ought-One Festival requests contributions to make possible this significant event. Please click the PayPal icon above or click this link to PayPal, or contact Kalvos & Damian.

The schedule below is pretty much final.

• The presentations have been juxtaposed to let the audience (public and other composers) experience a wide range of creation & performance styles. Start times have been staggered during the day, and the Dream Room material has been sequenced for a general stylistic sense, convenience of presentation, and opportunity for it to be heard at several times over two days.
• There are 15-minute transition times into the schedule. Keep in mind that sound checks are Friday night and Saturday and Sunday morning, and won't be very leisurely.
• There are additional open panel discussion spaces throughout the churches, if anyone wants to gather and talk.
• There will be a Festival Store. It will have O1 Fest goods (T-shirts, mugs, the usual) as well as any material that you are offering (CDs, scores, etc.). You may bring anything to sell; please have it priced and with a description sheet where we can identify what was sold.
