Fanoplane / San Kazakgascar / Weed Tree

Sunday July 14 * 7pm * $10-20 * TICKETS

In finite geometry, the Fano plane (after Gino Fano) is the finite projective plane of order 2. It is the finite projective plane with the smallest possible number of points and lines: 7 points and 7 lines, with 3 points on every line and 3 lines through every point. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane)

In this musical context, Fanoplane is an improvisational project focused on projecting the infinite gifts of the Muse. 

Fanoplane’s seed was planted in a duo performance by Bob Boilen and Ted Zook.  Following that, Bob sat in for a couple of performances with the Lost Civilizations experimental music project, then several performances with Heterodyne.  

Fanoplane’s performances are unscored, unrehearsed and improvised extemporaneously on the spot.

San Kazakgascar is a Sacramento-based band that formed in 2006. Core members Jed Brewer and Greg Hain have worked with several players such as Anthony Occipinti, Rachel Freund, Chris Hall, Paul Takushi, Linda Michelle Hardy, Mike Woo, Tony Passarell, Matt Kretzman, Sheila Bosco, Ethan Port, Brian Lucas, Robert Kennedy, Colleen Kelly, James Jaroba Barnes, John Cypher, Jeff Tobias, Rusi Gustafson, and others. The Kazakgascar sound is made on an art-punk/surf/drone/psych foundation and accented with Central Asian/Eastern Europe flavors. This iteration will consist of Jed Brewer and local collaborators.

Weed Tree - Amanda Huron and Layne Garrett play improvised music on drums, prepared guitar, and homemade instruments.
