Funded by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and distributed via satellite by NPR, the series “Impact: Innovative Music From the Pacific Coast” presents “a wide range of innovative West Coast composers and musicians with original recordings of live performances made at clubs and concert halls in San Francisco and Los Angeles, including on-stage interviews of the artists and discussions and demonstrations of their often unorthodox instrumentation.” Program No. 2 in the four part series, was initially broadcast on January 18, 1988 and featured performances and interviews with Los Angeles based electronic music composer Carl Stone; Jody Diamond with B. A. N. G. (Bay Area New Gamelan); and guitarist and gorilla electronics master, Mark Trayle. Carl Stone, heralded as the Grand Poobah of the West Coast New Music scene, talks about his use of personal computers, synthesizers, and digital samplers, as well as his appreciation of Asian restaurants, before performing two electronic music compositions in front of a live audience. Jody Diamond, director of the Bay Area New Gamelan, then has her group demonstrate the various instruments of her gamelan before performing John Levin’s “The Great Regulator Channel.” The program then concludes with an interview and performance of electronic noise music by Mark Trayle, before a very enthusiastic live audience.Genres
