2 hr interview & song show 
The Voidwave on Dublab RADIO – Wed 1/31 at 10 am PST
LISTEN at HTTPS://WWW.DUBLAB.COM/SHOWS/VOIDWAVE

This Voidwave episode includes a wondrous conversation with the performance artist and experimental vocalist Anna Homler, who shared a few hours with Katya and Kim, drinking coffee, eating, laughing, and sharing stories of her performance work, life, and lifelong friendships. This episode intermixes an informal conversation with sound works and music that are vocalizations of her interests on a practical level, as well as a metaphysical one. Anna is a treasure living on a magical plane, and It was a pleasure for us all to connect, and to share with you this moment of language, curiosity, dreams, films, conversations with the dead, and many other improbabilities we dive into. — Kim + Katya + Melissa + Liz (the whole crew)

TIME: 21:45-22:45

A project borne of myth, mystery and shadow play in eighties Los Angeles gets gloriously animated for the 2016 stage: meet Breadwoman, the character that embodies US vocalist and performance artist Anna Homler’s practice of divining speech, lyrical fragments, and melody for music, with the fluid synthetic excursions of Steven Warwick aka Heatsick as her modern-day accomplice.

e3b8ad_dae3943fca7d499e85c24ce71be91d2e

Originally recorded in 1985, The album Breadwoman & Other Tales found Homler in musical dialogue with electro-acoustic composer and LA avant-garde contemporary Steve Moshier, on a set of otherworldly spirituals delivered in an invented language by Homler over Moshier’s rich and strange production. To mark the reissue of this unheralded landmark album by the RVNG label in February 2016, Homler will give rise to Breadwoman again for a series of very special mixed-media performances, with Warwick rechanneling Moshier’s material for the live realm.

It’s 1982, and Anna is driving an ocean blue classic Cadillac to meet renowned poet and playwright Deena Metzger in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles. Passing a non-descript desert patch where tall wheat and mustard flowers grow, Anna opens her mouth and sings in a salient stream of rhythmic, melodic sound. Breadwoman is born, but not by immaculate conception. For Homler, performance art had become “a form big enough to contain everything happening”, and as this performative freedom fed into the enchanted vocalese, the character of Breadwoman emerged.

In a rare international gathering of highly accomplished improvising musicians, new and old friends from Italy, London, Los Angeles and the Bay Area meet for an evening of electrifying and engaging spontaneous music. 

Opening the evening will be a highly adventurous and unorthodox trio featuring veteran musical adventurer and trombone virtuoso Michael Vlatkovich in collaboration with inventive and eccentric sound-making artist Anna Homler, employing her voice and a host of sound-making devices and toys in her highly distinctive way, and multi-percussionist Rich West, always a sonic source of endless interest, innovation, and surprise. This will be three of the L.A. area’s most singular players combining for an experience of spontaneous music-making at its most free-range, spirited, and delightful. — From Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/events/293957440773453/

Don’s words:
“Anna is one of my favorites. Strangely, I originally found about her from Harald Ziegler in Koln and then found the CD at Gelbe Muisik in Berlin 1996. Later, she and I became friends…a wonderful person and we will finally meet in a few days in Berkeley.”
