about

Improvisations from clarinetist, Eric P. Mandat and percussionist, Ron Coulter.

ERIC MANDAT: For more than 40 years, I have been at the forefront of clarinet extended performance techniques exploration, particularly multiphonics, microtones, and timbral modulations. I tour regularly as a concert soloist, premiering and performing my works throughout the world. For 15 seasons I was a member of the Chicago Symphony's MusicNOW ensemble, and I was a member of the eclectic improvising ensemble Tone Road Ramblers for nearly 30 years. I have received multiple Illinois Arts Council Artist Fellowships for Composition. In 1999 I was honored with the Southern Illinois University Outstanding Scholar Award, the university’s highest honor for research/creative work.

My ongoing personal artistic mission is to continue exploring the myriad sonic possibilities of the clarinet, both in an acoustic context and with interactive technologies. My mission as a performing artist is to invite listeners to explore the deep and delicate inner worlds of self through their experiences of the micro galaxies of clarinet multiphonics and subtle timbral and pitch modulations in my compositions and improvisational commentaries. My work is largely inspired by the relationships between vast external universes and the micro worlds of subatomic interactions and processes. This dichotomous relationship serves as a context for the expression of my personal intimate feelings and experiences as I interact with the world around me. Speaking through my traditional acoustic instrument in so many non-traditional ways, I invite audiences to travel through similar uncharted territories within themselves.

RON COULTER is a percussionist, composer, and improviser. He has presented at 100+ universities and toured internationally, appearing in all 50 U.S. states, Europe, Canada, and Japan. He has performed with such artists as the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Four Aces, Sean Jones, Al Martino, David Murray, Hugh Ragin, Sam Newsome, Vinny Golia, Hugh Ragin, New Arts Jazztet, Tatsuya Nakatani, Matthew Shipp, Tony Malaby, Nate Wooley, Gino Robair, Chris Corsano, Michael Zerang, Bolokada Condé, Linux Laptop Orchestra, Robert Van Sice, Sylvia Smith, Sandy Duncan, Youngstown Percussion Collective, Tone Road Ramblers, and Rapture7, among many others.

Ron has presented at numerous conferences including: ISIM, PASIC, NIME, HICAH, LiWoLi, JEN, BMC3, Futurisms, Soundlines, RadiaLx, SPLICE, Athena Festival, New Music Circle, New Music Gathering, a.pe.ri.od.ic, VU Symposia 1-3, JVC and Montreal Jazz Festivals, and more. Other performance credits include: Music from China, Wyoming Symphony, Youngstown Symphony, National Repertory Orchestra, Paducah Symphony, Altgeld Chamber Players, and Chicago Chamber Orchestra.

Interests in noise, intermedia, interdisciplinary collaboration, and non-idiomatic improvisation have led to organizing Fluxconcerts and collaborative projects with artists specializing in performance art, video, and spoken word; including: Mary Beth Edelson, Terry Adkins, Kerry Laitala, Craig Gingrich-Philbrook, and Sam West.

Ron is a co-founder of the Percussion Art Ensemble, duende entendre, Marble Hammer, and Drm&Gtr. He was artistic director of the Southern Illinois Improvisation, Creative Music Series, Wyoming Experimental Sound Series, and instrumental director of the Kinser Jazz Festival. As a composer, Ron has created 433+ compositions for various media, with performances throughout the Americas and Europe.
