-ABOUT OUR STAFF-
BANAPHSHU is a native of Anaphoria and the daughter of Tollan, the maker of the
great
mystical clock of Aal. Her mother is Daena, one of Anaphoria's most
famous
poetess/singers. She is recognized as one of the great storytellers of
her country. Her collections of folklore are acclaimed for their
historical
preservation of near extinct relics as well as their diversity in her
persistence
in leaving no stone unturned. Her residency in the US inspired her to
investigate
the possible influence of ancient native American cosmology upon
Anaphorian
myths. Presently she acts as the general director at RADIO NABU CONGUL 98.8 FM
ROGER MEXICO is the son of a bush pilot who was stationed in Anaphoria for 34 years.
After becoming an M.D., Roger heroically skydived into some of the
remotest
Anaphorian back country to selflessly deliver much needed supplies. The
result was his also learning regional shamanistic medical practices, which
he
has subsequently used in augmenting the limitations of his traditional
western practice. He has been awarded his country's highest civilian
award,
the cross of Aunan. For money, he works as an actor/puppeteer and a
musician and serves as Anaphoria's cultural liaison in Oaxaca, Mexico for the first nation people of North America.
TERUMI NARUSHIMA [full version] received her Bachelor of Music (Honours) at the University of Sydney, and her Master of Music (Composition) from Sydney Conservatorium. She also has a Diploma in Secondary Education from Sydney University. She is currently completing a PhD on musical interfaces for microtonal composition. Her main area of research is the application of microtonal tuning systems in music composition and in presenting microtonal music in different contexts. This has resulted in projects such as a sound installation at the Sydney Opera House, a computer game for performing virtual bells in just intonation, as well as music and sound design for film and theatre. Her work has been presented at conferences and festivals in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Cuba, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland and the USA, as well as broadcast on national radio and television. She was also a guest composer for New Music Works in Santa Cruz, USA in 2007. Her ‘Hidden Sidetracks’ was performed by Ensemble Offspring in Sept. 2011. As a performer, her main instruments are keyboards and koto (a traditional Japanese zither). She plays in the duo called "Clocks and Clouds" with Kraig Grady.
KRAIG
GRADY [CV} has presented his music, shadow theatre and films at the Norton Simon Museum of Art,
the UCLA Armand Hammer Museum,
the Pacific Asia Museum, the Chateau de la Napoule - France, California
Institute of the Arts, Pomona College, Pierce College, Villa Aurora
Foundation
for European American Relations, the Schindler House, Beyond Baroque,
the
Brand Library, New Langton Arts, as well as numerous live performances
on KPFK, KCRW, and KXLU. His work was also presented as part of the LA
Philharmonic's American Music Weekend as well as New Music America. He
has been nominated 4 times for the L. A. WEEKLY Music Award best
uncategorizable
artist and was chosen by BUZZ Magazine as one of the 100 coolest
persons
in Los Angeles.
Born
in Montebello, Ca. while still in his
teens,
he realized he had an overwhelming urge to be a composer. After studies
with Nickolas Slonimsky, Dean Drumond, Dorrance Stalvey (all briefly)
and
Byong-Kon Kim (longer) he produced his earliest compositions. Since
meeting
Erv Wilson in 1975, he has composed and performed in alternative
tunings
of Wilson's. In the 80's Kraig Grady (along with Keith Barefoot) became
one of the first to revive the combination of live music with silent
film.
He was responsible for the films as well as the music. In 1990 with the
opera "War and Pieces" film retreated to a background for live
performers.
Soon afterwards was his first exposure to the music of Anaphoria Island
where he took up residence, on and off, for a period of three years. On
his return he found himself being asked to act as a liaison between
Anaphoria
and North America. In this role he has produced numerous solo and
ensemble
works and 13 shadow plays; TEN BLACK EYE I & II, BLACK EYE MERU,
HER STIRRING STONE, THEIR VENTURES BEYOND THE HORIZONS, THE STOLEN
STARS, FRENZY AT THE ROYAL THRESHOLD, THE QUIET EROW,
THE P ILGRIMAGE OF MIRRORS, THE FOLLIES OF DR. PLACEBO, THE QUIET EROW (redux), THE BROOK OF NO RETURN, and NATURE ON THE LOOSE!
