MUSICIANS
Liyanna Bea Sadowsky | Wednesday 8-10PM, Evening Jam
​
I first met the harp when I was 5 years old, and have been enchanted by the instrument ever since. Over the past 25 years my bond with the harp has grown deeply instinctive. Playing with eyes-closed, my heart and the harp collaborate to create music that will never be played again! These unique soundscapes weave listeners into a tapestry of feeling, with the harmony and disharmony of every note reflecting the depth of our own lives.
Tom Djll & Suki O'Kane | Friday 8-10PM, Performance Scores & Evening Jam
Tom Djll studied with Roscoe Mitchell, Alvin Curran, Pauline Oliveros, Anthony Braxton, and Wadada Leo Smith. At the Mills College Contemporary Music Center, he developed a personal trumpet language alongside electronic and microtonal studies. He uses movement and trance-related energies to form a complete musical expression.
Oakland-based musican, composer, improviser Suki O’Kane works with artists from a wide array of music and movement genres. She is a student of monumental and durational forms, combining percussion, Jurassic electronics, everyday objects and found sounds to create noisy, hand held miniatures.
Nate Cavalieri | Thursday 8-10PM, Evening Jam
​
Nate Cavalieri is an Oakland-based musician, accompanist and writer. He studied music at Oberlin Conservatory, where a work-study gig as a dance accompanist changed his life. He plays with the Dominican BFA program at Alonzo King Lines Ballet, UC Berkeley, and is a regular with the contact jam at Berkeley's Finnish Hall & The Center SF. He loves few things in this world as much as the conversation between improvised movement and improvised music. https://soundcloud.com/shimmeringride
