the bsc
One of the premier electroacoustic ensembles in Boston and the world, the BSC is happily kicking ass at the Zeitgeist on the third Sunday of each month through August 2003. This is a big monster to lug around so don’t be so foolish as to miss these well-organized adventures into the beautifully meditative horror of BSC land.

james coleman - theremin
liz tonne - voice
mike bullock - dbl. bass
chris cooper - prepared gtr. and electronics

The BSC was formed in 2000 by Bhob Rainey. The musicians represent the best of Boston’s electroacoustic improvisers, but the group is much more than an all-star ensemble. Through unique rehearsal methods, Rainey brings focus and compositional attention to the group’s improvisations, while allowing each musician to have her/his own voice. There is no score or live direction; instead, the group relies on a subtle understanding of its own inner workings, combining consciousness of craft (many of these musicians were working together long before this ensemble was formed) with a penchant for pulling off risks. The result is richly textured, often transparent, pregnant with surprise, and unafraid of extremes
