High Mayhem Emerging Arts has been Santa Fe’s base for experimental and
emerging arts since 2001, and host to emerging arts festivals since 2002.
Our mission has always been to challenge the homogenizing effect of
pop-culture groupthink by providing opportunities for and fostering
collaborations with underrepresented “experimental” artists.

This November will be the final year for our annual festival/series at the
Siler Lane space, after which we will focus on going back underground with
pirate video show broadcasts, a weekly radio show on SomaFM in the Bay Area
(http://somafm.com/, which began Oct 9), pop-up shows at other locations,
and continuing to operate as a record label and produce cutting edge albums
(CDs and digital downloads).

Celebrate the new transition for High Mayhem at the final Fall Series at
the Siler Lane space, taking place Saturdays November 1, 8, 15, and 22.

*FUFAKA*

Al Faaet- drums and Matt Norman- piano, Keys


High Energy Improvisations by 2 highly seasoned improvisors.


*Rumble Trio*

Since 2003, the Rumble Trio has been providing low-end improvisational
accompaniment to a host of touring and local musicians. The trio was formed
in order to bring to the forefront the range of voices that are possible
from bass instruments that typically reside in the sonic shadows. Culling a
unique assortment of rumblings from a varying arsenal that might include at
any given time two double basses, tuba, sousaphone, didgeridoos, musical
saw, trombone, modified bugle, and little instruments, the Rumble Trio,
along with their guest musicians, have consistently produced music that is
beyond conventional classification.


In an effort to wave the low-end flag even higher (or lower, as the
frequency may be) for this very special High Mayhem performance, the Rumble
Trio will be teaming up with their bottomless brothers, bassdrumbass. Since
both groups share a common member, this 3+3=5 collaboration isn’t
technically possible, which is appropriate as the vibrations produced by
this ensemble are sure to push far beyond what is sonically feasible.


New Mexico’s bassdrumsbass is a freely improvising trio consisting of
Jeremy Bleich on electric bass, Milton Villarrubia on drums and Ben Wright
on acoustic bass.  Although fresh in this combination, each member brings
extensive playing and performance experience with which to evolve a shared
language in free improvisation.  The spontaneous musical connection between
the players remains driven to transform a soon to be discovered pallet of
sound possibilities into a vibrant and captivating sonic landscape.


*Dierdre Morris*

Performance Artist and High Mayhem co-counder Dierdre Morris will provide
us with another one of her magical pieces.   Not to be missed!


*The Shiners Club Jazz Band*



*Cloacas <http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/cloacas/>*

A tiny mountain orchestra in a wooden box with rusty hinges. Listening to
Cloacas is like traveling sideways in time.


This ensemble invokes elements of folk, americana, classical, jazz and
American gothic styles as well as whatever their acoustic instruments
inspire. They present a humorous but sincere irony that is sometimes
bittersweet and melancholic, and sometimes gangly-legged and goofy.


“Like stepping into some kind of musical time machine, Cloacas combines
just about any kind of music their acoustic instruments can achieve to
create ethereal indie-folk tunes rife with stylistic subtleties and
genre-defying aplomb. Think of the local supergroup as a sort of history
lesson in music that throws off the shackles of classification to delight
in the unification of classical, Americana, jazz, gothic and beyond. Is it
possible to all at once feel moved to sadness and elated by the power or
sheer musicianship? Certainly it is, and Cloacas supplies the good stuff to
make it so.” – Alex De Vore, Santa Fe Reporter


“Cloacas turns out predominantly instrumental acoustic-folk tunes that are
at times mournful and hypnotizing and at other times almost jazzy and
vaudevillian in a playful, semi-improvisational way. It’s the kind of music
that deserves to be played over a silent film about being stranded in a
dusty Western ghost town with the love of your life, a jug of whiskey (or
absinthe), and physical manifestations of your most fond hallucinations and
troublesome inner demons.” – Rob DeWalt, Santa Fe New Mexican Pasatiempo.
