Adam Arritola + Ayako Kanda + Ron Anderson
Ron Anderson and Ayako Kanda have a record coming out this year with guest Tatsuya Yoshida.
Ron Anderson was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1959.  He is a self-taught rock composer who starting experimenting with new rock concepts, noise, free improvisation while in high school in the mid 1970’s. In 1980 he was one of the founding members of Rat At Rat R in Philadelphia. He moved to New York City’s Lower East Side in 1982. He started working in his home recording studio experimenting with tape editing, found sounds, noise, and improvisation. He combined these elements with composition and released his first LP entitled Fever Dream in 1987.  Ron moved to Oakland, CA in 1989 and shortly thereafter formed The Molecules; they released a total of 6 CD’s.  He and The Molecules were introduced to the European music community at the Musique Action Festival in Nancy, France in 1993 and since then he has been a regular on the European festival and club circuit, as well as touring in Japan, Canada and the United States. After living in Geneva, Switzerland for one year, he moved back to New York City in 1999 where he formed PAK.
In 40+ years dedicated to music, Ron has performed and/or recorded with hundreds of musicians including – ANTHONY COLEMAN, TATSUYA YOSHIDA, FRED LONBERG-HOLM, JAMES CHANCE, JAC BERROCAL, JOHN MEYERS, MARK RIBOT, ELLIOTT SHARP, YASUKO ONUKI, MICHEAL EVANS, THE SUN CITY GIRLS, SHELLY HIRSCH, OTOMO YOSHIHIDE, CAROLINE KRABBLE, GINO ROBAIR, SEIICHI YAMAMOTO, JACK WRIGHT, JOHN ZORN, 99 HOOKER, MYLES BOISEN, JASON WILLETT, DONALD MILLER, PAUL LEMOS, HOPPY KAMIYAMA, DANIEL CARTER, HACO, TERRIE EX, CARLA KIHLSTEDT, MARCO CAPPLLI, WEASEL WALTER, STEVE BUCHANAN and more.
He played bass on the recent Acid Mothers Temple 2023 North American Spring tour.

Ayako Kanda is an improviser and performance artist whose medium is her voice. Currently based in Tokyo, Ayako's work moves between total improvisation and standard jazz, quick sketches and impressionist painting, creating rules and then breaking them as she roams freely between linguistic and alinguistic facets of expression.

Adam Arritola is an improviser who is best known for his often bizarre and unexpected performances and as the curator for Miami Psych Fest and Rochester Experimental Week (recently renamed Avant Garde A Clue festival) which will be occurring for free in Rochester, NY from October 7th to 14th at 75 Stutson Street and will be headlined by Gong amongst many others.
