Upon moving to Boston in 1996, he soon became an integral member of the city’s burgeoning experimental improvisation scene, garnering much praise for his unique vocabulary of extended techniques and timbral manipulation. In 1998, Kelley began a pattern of dedicated travelling, performing throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. These travels have led to collaborations w/ a coterie of international artists including Pauline Oliveros, Anthony Braxton, Le Quan Ninh, Phil Minton, Joe McPhee, Gunter Muller, Paul Lovens, Keiji Haino, Eddie Prevost, Kevin Drumm, John Butcher, and Donald Miller. It was also in 1998 that Kelley formed the group nmperign, w/ soprano saxophonist Bhob Rainey. "The nmperign approach is to begin with nothing, and to go from there. Whereas most musicians' sound contains references to certain stylistic precursors and/or influences, Rainey and Kelley seem to have evolved out of the ether." - David Prince, The Santa Fe Reporter Greg has released recordings on Twisted Village, Intransitive, Selektion, Meniscus, Erstwhile, Freedom From, RRRecords, and Emanem. His next CD will be released by the Italian label Rossbin. He is a citizen of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland. "The instrument is anatomised, splayed and pinned out for close inspection, a fleshy outcrop of tubes and valves. The resonant chamber wheezes and exhales, sputters and exudes. Blemishes are magnified in whispers and growls. You can hear the spittle glisten. " - Julian Cowley, The Wire www.geocities/com/greyelkgel SEAN G. MEEHAN, SNARE DRUM Drummer Sean G. Meehan was born in the Bronx and resides in Times Square, New York City. He became musically active in the late 80's at the Amica Bunker series for improvised music which was then housed at ABC No Rio. At No Rio Meehan began performing and meeting other musicians, many of whom he still works with including Tamio Shiraishi, Paul Hoskin and Geoff Dugan. Meehan's interest in improvisation and collaboration has taken him around the world where he has performed solo and with other artists ranging from traditional instrumentalists to avant garde flower arrangers. He has performed throughout North America, South America, Asia and Eastern Europe. In 1994 he visited japan for the first time and returns regularly working with many musicians including Taku Sugimoto, Toshimaru Nakamura, Mamoru Fujieda, Sachiko M, Michihiro Sato, Tetzui Akiyama, Kiyoharu Kuwayama and many others. At home in New York Meehan has performed in the cities finest venues including ABC No Rio, the Victory Theatre, St Marks Church, Roulette, the Kitchen, The Whitney Museum and the Woodlawn cemetery to name a few. His most frequent collaborators are Tamio Shiraishi, Ben Manley and Edwin Torres. Current performances generally find Meehan using only the snare drum in a manner which sheds conventional usage and reconstructs the conception and function of the instrument. Meehan’s recordings include a CD of drumsolos (1991, NYCAC), a trio recorded in Japan with Michihiro Sato(shamisen) and Mamoru Fujieda (computer)(1994, trust).Other contributions to the material world include the construction of performance objects that act as "compositional things". Included in this are the pieces Gift III which musically activates a sink full of dirty dishes, GiftIV for woodblock and Audio, a boxed set of four cassettes to be played in the mind. http://home.earthlink.net/~overturnedbowl/ ZACH WALLACE, DOUBLE BASS Zachary Wallace makes and listens to sounds in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
