Anstoss ist 21.00h. Der Eintritt für das Konzert beträgt 6,00 Euro, der

01.00h nachts durch; Fahrtzeit 16 Minuten bis Neumarkt.
Al Margolis was one of the prime movers in the legendary cassette
underground scene of the 1980s (between 1984 and 1991 his Sound Of Pig
label released over 300 cassettes of music by the likes of Merzbow, Costes,
Amy Denio, John Hudak and Jim O'Rourke) and is the eminence grise behind
twenty years of music under the name If, Bwana. He is the man behind the
Pogus label, as well as label manager for Deep Listening, XI Records, and
Mutable Music. He has recorded and/or performed with Pauline Oliveros, Ione,
Joan Osborne, Adam Bohman, Ellen Christi, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Jane
Scarpantoni, Ulrich Krieger, David First, Dave Prescott, Hal McGee, Sarah
Weaver, Hudson Valley Soundpainting Ensemble, and Amoeba (Raft) Boy, Monique
Buzzarté, Katherine Liberovskaya, among others.
A recent review of Margolis1s work says: "Let it be declared that Al
Margolis/If, Bwana is some sort of evil genius working with raw materials
which are never adapted to a genre or a context, because they create one in
that very moment. Those sources are radically altered up to an utterly
unrecognizable state, anarchic manifestations moving in compact
determination." (Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes)
