 Pauline Oliveros, American accordionist, composer, and a central figure in the development of experimental and post-war electronic art music, passed away on November 24th.She was a founding member of the San Francisco Tape Music Center in the 1960s, and served as its director. She taught music at Mills College, the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Oliveros authored books, formulated new music theories, and investigated new ways to focus attention on music including her concepts of ‘Deep Listening’ and ‘sonic awareness’. From a very young age Oliveros was interested in the sound field around her and started to learn to play music as early as kindergarten. She learned to play the accordion at nine years of age from her mother, and later went on to learn the tuba and French horn for grade school and college music. At the age of sixteen she decided to be a composer. From the 1980s onwards, Oliveros focused on improvisation, particularly as an accordionist. She continued to teach at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Mills College, publishing five books - ‘Sounding the Margins: Collected Writings 1992–2009’, ‘Initiation Dream’, ‘Software for People’, ‘The Roots of the Moment’, and ‘Deep Listening: A Composer's Sound Practice’ - and becoming the recipient of several awards, until the end of her life. Oliveros’ album ‘Accordion and Voice’ (1982) and her Stuart Dempster and Panatois collaboration ‘Deep Listening’ (1989) are considered landmark recordings. At the time of her death, she was the Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Darius Milhaud Artist-in-Residence at Mills College. A distinguished explorer of sound, she commented, “I feel that students always learn more from each other than they do from their professor. They learn by doing.” |

 Brendan Breen, a regular member of the Gallowglass Ceili Band from 1964 to 1969 died this week. Breen played the 5-row Continental button accordion, and was one of the first in Ireland to use this type of accordion professionally.Entirely self-taught, Brendan Breen originally played 3-row British chromatic before he played the Continental system. In his early years he practised non-stop, even during lunch break at his work. He won 4 All Ireland championship titles before joining the Gallowglass Ceili Band. The pieces he played to win his All Ireland titles included the ‘Carnival of Venice’ and Monti’s ‘Czardas’. A very accomplished musician, his favourite party pieces included Chopin’s ‘Minute Waltz’ and the ‘Flight of the Bumble Bee’. He was equally at home playing Irish, Scottish, Continental or classical music. His instruments included Paolo Soprani, Hohner, Borsini, Solton, and Vignoni accordions. He was renowned for playing with a really light touch and played very quietly, preferring to let the microphone do the hard work. During the 1960s Brendan Breen played on most of the Gallowglass Ceili Band’s recordings, and he can be seen playing on the 1993 video and DVD ‘The Original Gallowglass Ceili Band – together for one last reunion’. Brendan Breen, from Mountrath, County Laois, also had a full time career working in the Irish prison service. He passed away on Tuesday November 29th, and was in his late 70s. He was a widower, had three daughters, and grandchildren. |

Angela started on an acoustic accordion and now plays a Roland Digital Accordion from two years ago. She loves to sing and play and has no fear of introducing her own program and handling the entire process of entertaining her audience. Her teacher and grandfather, Sam Falcetti, was apprehensive about sending her out to perform by herself so he played a few duets with her, but of course she was the hit of the party. Angela plays all genres of music from Broadway to Pop to Polka and Jazz. She recently recorded a half hour session on her Roland accordion for Public TV which appeared on National News. |

  Renowned Jazz accordionist Renzo Ruggieri has released two eBooks (.pdf format) able to be sent to you by email. English: 10 Approaches to Jazz Improvisation eBook - Catalog: rrenzo401 Italian: Dieci Approcci All’Improvvisazione (Jazz) eBook - Catalog: rrenzo421 Renzo Ruggieri wrote: "Originating from the need of outlining a practical method for improvisation (not only intended for jazz performers), this book is designed for those who can already master the basics. Jazz classes most of the times primarily focus on theory as well as on its application, often neglecting or putting aside practice. But the theoretical framework can sometimes be perceived as overwhelming by students to such an extent that they may find it hard to get the major element of improvisation, that is the creation of a personal language which must include an appropriate assimilation. Knowing what to do (or not to do) is not enough. In order to perform a true improvisation one must first of all know a large number of pieces, but also be good enough as to forget them - in a sort of brainstorming – so as to avoid any remains of seduction left behind and create an empty space to be filled with their own creativity. In this book I am going to explain in detail the procedures allowing a student to be introduced to the pragmatic ways of creativity." Purchase online.
