This will be an all-day fundraiser extravaganza on two stages, celebrating the diversity of music and sound art that Eyedrum has presented to Atlanta audiences over the years.

Besides the music, there will be some circus goodness. I’ll be among the performers doin’ their things throughout the day. (Because of Primetime, though, I’ll be there between noon and 4.)

The tentative music line up is:

• Liquid Marble (free improv)
• Schwarzkommando (rock-based improv)
• Electric Crayon Immediate (jazz quartet)
• Falcon Lords (crime fighting rock trio)
• Tree Creature (electronic soundscapes)
• Kevin Spears “Kalimba Man” (virtuoso kalimba player)
• Zentropy (space-jazz trio)
• Brad Jones (singer-songwriter)
• Daniel Clay (vocal ensemble performsnce)
• Killick (Athens improviser)
• Dan Hole Pond (sound and video textures)
• Envie (harp-based songs)
• Howl Ye (rustic folk psychobilly)
• Kevin Dunn & the Common Article III (veteran Atlanta producer’s current project)
• Earthshaking Samba (wall of drums!)
• The 4th Ward Afro Klezmer Orchestra (high energy jazz/klemer hybrid led by Roger Ruzow)
• Vietnam (reborn Atlanta punk act)
• The Robert Cheatham Quartet (free jazz)
• The Eyedrum Improv Orchestra (massive multi-player improv ensemble conducted by Robert Cheatham)
• Matt Kurz One (one-man alt-punk band from Athens)

Coolest of all, the hallway of the Eyedrum building will be transformed into the “Theremin Gantlet” – organized by Scott Burland of “Duet for Theremin and Lap Steel”, and featuring a number of Atlanta area Theremin players and ambient electronic artists including The Subliminator, Klimchak, Neil Freid, and Monomania.
