HiTE Club 2

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 2nd HiTE Club was on Sunday, June 28th, '09. Unfinished Symphonies opened w/ his "Building the Tower", I followed w/ a screening of "Quasi-Documentary of TESTES-3 End of Library K&M Series", Alpaca Beretta was next, & Pittsburgh's The SB finished it off. Given that this HiTE Club was happening in the wake of a theater piece, the conditions were far from ideal: the staff wdn't turn the lights down - therefore my movie was barely visible & I only tokenly document it here (it's presented in the full YouTube version on this same channel), the post-theater crowd were mostly talking & ignoring us. Nevertheless, there were some funny moments &, in the spirit of documenting the entire series (wch might not last longer!), here it is. - August 12, '09 notes from tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE
