Tom Buckner, Jerome Bourdellon, and Alain Kirili: Totem

A vigorous and virtuosic advocate of the avant-garde, baritone Thomas
Buckner joins forces with Jerome Bourdellon (flutes & shakuhachi) and
Alain Kirili (sculpture) to present a concert of solo and duo
improvisations in the presence Kirili’s sculptures, exploring the
possibilities of a spontaneous sonic response to and interaction with
three dimensional forms.

Bourdellon is a composer and flutist residing in Nancy, France. He
collaborates frequently with the Musique-Actions Festival in
Vandoeuvre-les-Nancy, and just has released a new CD of his music. He has
written and improvised music for dance, theater and concerts with an
international range of classical, jazz and contemporary musicians. The
composer notes that this piece may be performed with any means of delivery
possible, including but not limited to horseback, submarine, bicycle, car,
unicycle, rollerblades, helicopter, etc.

Thomas Buckner has dedicated himself to the world of new and improvised
music. Currently, Buckner works regularly with composers Robert Ashley,
Roscoe Mitchell, Alvin Lucier, Annea Lockwood, Bun-Ching Lam, Jerome
Cooper, David Wessel, Tom Hamilton, Phill Niblock and Wadada Leo Smith,
among others. More than 70 composers have written works exclusively for
him over the last 20 years. Buckner has been featured on over 40
recordings, including 5 of his own solo albums.

The sculptor Alain Kirili was born in France in 1946 and divides his time
between New York and Paris. His first solo exhibition was at the Sonnabend
