From Project [BLANK]: Join us for THE SALTY SERIES: our take-over of Bread & Salt in Barrio Logan, an experimental center for the arts, with concerts on the Third Friday of every month. Grab a drink, make a new friend, and feast your ears on the most savory experimental music in town. The Salty Series kicks off with a film screening of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 avant garde masterpiece, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, with live electronic score improvisation by sound artist JOE CANTRELL. According to Cantrell, "Alejandro Jodorowsky’s [work] is as visually striking as it is difficult – a journey that is unrelenting in its surreal maximalism. At times serene, grotesque, and comical, the sense of the uncanny never leaves the viewer. It is this focus on imagery that is intensely unusual that I find so fitting for a live performance setting. My intention is to use these fantastical images as a visual representation of noises and sounds, similar to a type of music notation called a graphical score. These scores use static pictures instead of notes to convey musical ideas. The images used are often abstract and unusual and open to a wide variety of interpretations by the musician. I feel the challenging and dazzling visual world that Jodorowsky paints is a fitting filmic analog to this graphical tradition, and one that promises to create impactful and memorable sonic and visual pairing."

Come and unlock the magic of music & clay as you embark on a creative journey! Do you know what an ocarina is? It’s like a flute, but instead of a tube, the sound is produced in a chamber. Join us for an immersive and hands-on ceramic workshop where you’ll uncover the ancient art of crafting your very own ocarina, a whimsical and enchanting musical instrument. Throughout this comprehensive workshop, you’ll learn the step-by-step process of creating an ocarina from raw clay to a beautiful musical instrument. Under the guidance of our instructor, Israel Basurto, you’ll delve into the world of ceramics, exploring essential techniques, and shaping clay with your hands. From molding the body of the ocarina to intricately carving the finger holes and crafting the mouthpiece, you’ll acquire the skills to bring your musical vision to life. Embrace your creativity as you personalize your ocarina with a variety of decorative techniques, such as incising patterns, adding texture, and experimenting with underglazes (…all time permitting! Some folks work faster than others). By the end of the workshop, you’ll have not only crafted a one-of-a-kind ocarina but also developed a deeper appreciation for the ancient craft of ceramics. No prior ceramic experience is necessary. All materials and tools will be provided. 12 yrs+
