Hey Guerrilla Groupies,

The time is upon us for a concert of epic proportions. We asked six brave souls to write six pieces at a breakneck speed, and let me tell you: they delivered. We can only imagine the blood, sweat, tears, and coffee that went into the making of these pieces, and they are sure to blow your mind. Come check out our show at the center for new music, on April 18, at 7:30pm. Come help us decide who wins the prize of a studio recording of their piece! We will have beer and maybe wine available at the show.

Our featured composers are: Dennis Aman, Luis Escareño, Lucas Floyd, Kyle Hovatter, Kaito Nakahori, and Ryan Rey.

Our ridiculously killer performers will be: Mckenzie Camp, Matt Centanni, Elizabeth Hall, & Nick Matthiesen

The percussionists will also play a few pieces from their repertoire, including our very own Danny Clay’s Children’s Songs, Book 2, featuring the lovely soprano Lora Libby.

Shout out to Danny Clay for making the poster… as a teaser, we will say that he used some of the wonderful art work on one of our composers’ scores… can you guess which one? (Hint, look at the pictures on facebook from our workshopping evening).

Percussion Project

Hey Guerrilla Groupies,

So we’ve been neglecting the real website, and for that we’re sorry. Sort of. Mostly. I mean, enough to be political about it.

But we’re going to get this thing going! Many of you who know about us know that we put pretty much everything up on facebook, so get updates there. But! We wanted to give you a heads up with what’s going down these days. Basically we’ve selected our Seal Team Six of composers for our percussion project (as noted by Kurt Rohde, everybody wants to be the guy with the smokes), and they are hard at work. We’re going to be meeting with them in a few days to see what they’re creating and workshop the hell out of their music, and can’t wait to put on the show!

Our brave participants of the compositional arts will be:

Dennis Aman, Luis Escareño, Lucas Floyd, Kyle Hovatter, Kaito Nakahori, & Ryan Rey.

For the record I’ve never seen Seal Team Six. It’s just really catchy, like Fox Force Five, or The Wild Thornberrys.

Stay tuned, in a few days we’ll be announcing the actual event and all the juicy details.

Guerrilla Composers Guild – Vocal Music Showcase

April 14, 2012 //

“Hey man, what are you doing today?”

“Im going to start a war on emotionless, culturally detached music by organizing clandestine, amazing concerts full of soul and conversation. Oh, and pizza. You?”

“Well, I WAS just going to make pesto tonight and listen to ‘My heart will go on’, but I’m up for starting a war. Is there anything in particular I should bring?”

“Just your undying devotion to the arts, and maybe a bandana and camo pants.”

“In. “

The Guerrillas are out to stuff your ears with some new sounds, presenting their first vocal music concert featuring pieces by local composers. With performers hailing from the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, and the International Orange Chorale of San Francisco, it will be a unique opportunity to hear some of the best up and coming singers in the Bay Area in an intimate setting at Musically Minded Academy (www.musicallyminded.com). You’ll be shocked and amazed by the wealth of vocal writing talent from around the Bay Area. You may be moved by the music you hear, and you might even find yourself with sudden and strange urges to hear more. Don’t worry, that’s normal… we think. Curious about what the composers or performers were thinking when writing and rehearsing this music? There will be opportunities for audience questions and a social hour (pizza unconfirmed) after the concert with the performers and composers.
