After Pajamas
Bob Bellerue, Patrick Holmes, Mark Howell, Cheryl Kingan, David Watson.
After Pajamas takes its starting point from Wooden Pajamas, Gordon Mumma’s 1973 homage to Salvadore Allende. It is an extraordinary piece - the gallows humour of the title refers to a coffin.
I don't think it was ever performed much but you can hear a great extract on Lovely Music. For this reworked version, we are taking the opportunity as a group to dive into the darkness of this present moment.

with Aliya Ultan solo, &
Ashcan Orchestra

This is our second-to-last show before we turn the lights out.

MONDAY 8:0pm OCTOBER 12th $15 After Pajamas (Bob Bellerue, Cheryl Kingan, Patrick Holmes, Mark Howell, & David Watson) "They'll have to take me out of here in wooden pajamas." was the statement by Salvador Allende, which inspired Gordon Mumma's Wooden Pajamas. And now we are being inspired by that. Aliya Ultan solo Described as a shape-shifting voice moving between orchestral lyricism, cathartic noise, and deeply personal forms of storytelling. Ashcan Orchestra Ashcan has been developing a musical language to examine and exemplify our shared capacity to create and thrive in spaces parallel to the consumer cult. Two shows before lights out! https://pools.events/t/1vyw1tmw or door DM for exact location We are 5 mins walk from Queens Plaza, in LIC. DM us if you need the address.

Bob Bellerue + Katie Porter: Damned Piano & Eternities SATURDAY, OCT. 10th, Doors 7pm
Multidimensional, spectral drone magic intuitively created by Bass clarinetist Katie Porter and sound artist Bob Bellerue (halfnormal) using prepared piano and harmonic tones from wind instruments played within feedback systems. The live improvisation will accompany THE MIRROR by Andrei Tarkovsky!

Eternities is an intuitive collaboration inspired by deep presence, resonant feedback, melodic drone, and overtone magic, in the fluid realm between intention and indeterminacy. Eternities' first album "Realness" was featured on the "Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp" list, saying "Both excel at creating widescreen audio fields. So it’s natural that working together would result in soundscapes that move and breathe as if in 3-D."

For this special event at Epsilon Spires, Katie and Bob are both bringing solo performances that they will present before their collaborative duo. Music will accompany projections of scenes from the film THE MIRROR by Andrei Tarkovsky! Doors open at 7pm, Performances begin at 7:15.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Katie Porter will be presenting one of her Flower Compositions, a graphic score system. This series of works was was first presented in her album "Conversation No. 1 / Collecting Rocks from the Places We've Been" using recorded bass clarinet alongside live playing.

The American Composers Forum put this album on their Our Top Contemporary Classical and Experimental Albums of 2025 list, saying "the album weaves through ambient drones and textured clarinet sounds with only brief pauses between ideas. The subtle introduction of distortions range from lightly jagged vibrato to multiphonics that oscillate between pure tones. We are gradually warmed by Porter’s movement between registers and able to analyze the wave of her sound; dark sustains of the bass clarinet’s lower register fold into points of tension and grit created by the overpressure and sharper ends of multiphonics. The result is an ethereal album that succinctly presents both clear and distorted versions of the clarinet, preserving its sweetness while introducing a brash quality

So, we first met ANAVAN when The Late Severa Wires played a crazy show at @halfnormal's Il Corral in Los Angeles. This show happened the week that @sean.carnage produced 40 Bands in 80 Minutes was filmed there. and the place was still buzzing from that night. If you haven't seen that film, it is an incredible document of DIY LA in the mid-2000's. Also on the bill was CLPD BEAKS and Explogasm!

After that show, ANAVAN become a regular at HM. They popped into my head and I did a little search on them to listen and found this interview from XLR8R in 2008.

We had a reputation of being the best DIY gig in the country at this time. This interview verifies it- at least according to Molly and Bret. - Aaron was obviously having a bad day....😂
