What?s the buzz about? After a wired holiday celebration last December, 
The Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra returns to the David Sarnoff Library 
Auditorium on Saturday, March 15th with its mountains of synthesizers, 
keyboards, sequencers, gizmos, gadgets and electro-gear. Doors open at 
7:00 PM for this ear-expanding event, with refreshments on hand provided 
by Grovers Mill Coffee and McCaffrey's bakery. Admission is $10.00 for 
the general public. Friends of Sarnoff Library receive a five dollar 
discount.

This time around, the infamous, mutating orchestra personnel have been 
hand-picked by founders Howard Moscovitz and Greg Waltzer. During the 
first half of the evening, various members will be performing short sets 
of electrifying compositions before returning in the second half as the 
full Chamber Orchestra in a sizzling celebration of Spring.

The audience will meet Fringe Element, a quartet of electro-musicians: 
Michael Victor, Greg Waltzer, Jose Murcia and James Lacey. Their wholly 
spontaneous creations will lead everyone out of the ordinary and into a 
world of unpredictable, flowing soundscapes. Their two CDs, Rampant 
Biology and Organic Chemistry are available at http://electro-music.com 
More information is available at their web site: http://fringe-element.com

Another of the evening?s permutations will see Greg Waltzer leaving the 
Fringe to build lush, ambient sonic constructs with partners Howard 
Moscovitz and Bill Fox. Together, they become the resonant force called 
Xeroid Entity. http://xeroid-entity.com

The evening?s mutations continue with Howard Moscovitz freed of the trio 
to perform solo, bringing us deep into the reverberating harmonies and 
silences of his own personal universe.

He?ll then be joined by thereminist Kip Rosser (Remember the theremin? 
The instrument that?s played without being touched!)
http://www.performancekr.com/theremin.html The duo will present their 
dream-soaked, evocative improvisations, soon to be released on their CD, 
Exploration of the Black Exterior.

The metamorphosis will be completed in the evening?s second half, as all 
personnel become the Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra. Their composition 
will be an entirely new experiment in which the music is ?conducted? by 
utilizing a complex numbering system, under the direction of Howard 
Moscovitz.

This feast for the ears is also going to be a banquet for the eyes. 
State-of-the-art visuals will send the audience on a parallel trip
presented by Azimuth Visuals. 
http://gregwaltzer.com/azimuth/azimuth.html Premier diva of 
computer-generated abstract images, animations and original artwork, 
Hong Waltzer will be processing and mixing video in real time. Inspired 
by the music being created onstage, her dynamic collages bring even more 
dimension to the oceans of music.

Perfect for electronic music enthusiasts and old fashioned music-lovers 
alike, it?s also a great time to treat young musicians to sights and 
sounds they?ve never experienced before. Don?t miss an evening of 
boundary-breaking music making ? get a real buzz ? kick off Spring with 
the Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra.
