My chamber orchestra, HiTEC (Histrionic Thought Experiment Cooperative) premiered at the New Hazlett Theater on January 9, 2009EV. After this, I was asked to curate a 'music' series in the lobby of the New Hazlett on the 4th Sunday of most months. I decided to call this series "HiTE Club - the (M)Usic Club for Histrionic Thought Experimenters & their fellow travelers". This name is, of course, a take-off of "Nite Club", "Fight Club", "HiTEC lub", "Hite Report", etc.. The purpose of this club is to give HiTEC Systems Managers a chance to present the other groups that they play in - thereby promoting them & keeping HiTEC activity going between hard-to-get-gigs-for-a-25-piece-group. This 3rd HiTE Club was on Sunday, August 23rd, '09. The evening began w/ DJ Hatesyou's "Beating a Dead Beat" - a 4 turntable sound collage mixing beat writers w/ vinyl from HiTEC members - including at least 2 LPs of mine, a single by one of joy toujour's groups, & a single by Ben Opie's Water Shed 5tet, & David Bernabo's latest LP. Mike Tamburo played a solo on his invention The Crowned Eternal & then a long solo on the Hammered Dulcimer. The nite concluded w/ a set by Shambolish - Alberto Almarza, Jonathan Brodsky, & Bill Bernstein. - August 25, '09 notes from tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE
