The Fred Lonberg-Holm / Guillermo Gregorio Duo

Composer, improvisor and anti-cellist Fredrick Lonberg-Holm currently resides in Chicago. As a former composition student of Morton Feldman and Anthony Braxton, his ongoing projects reflect a startling array of musical interests that include groups like Terminal 4, Freakwater, the Flying Luttenbachers, God-is-my-Co-Pilot, Ken Vandermark’s Territory band, the Vandermark 5, and the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet. He organizes and directs performances of his own Light Box Orchestra, a non-fixed structured improvising ensemble utilizing a light-based cueing system. As an improvisor he has recorded and performed with Ikue Mori, Barry Guy, Ken Vandermark, Jaap Blonk, Joelle Leandre, Axel Dorner, Jeff Parker, Paul Lytton, Mischa Mengelberg, Mats Gustafsson, Peter Brotzmann, Paul Lovens, Jim O'Rourke, John Butcher, and many others. His most recent recording is the solo CD Dialogs (on Emanem) featuring his original treatment of acoustic cello with small speakers, test amps, piezos , and motors.

Clarinetist and alto saxophonist Guillermo Gregorio was born in Buenos Aries and was an active participant in the Argentine music scene in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s. He currently resides in Chicago, maintaining musical associations with Ran Blake, Vinko Globokar, Le Quan Ninh, Sebi Tramontana, and Mary Oliver among many others. He has recorded numerous CDs for the label hat Art including trio recordings with Fred Lonberg-Holm and Carrie Biolo. A reissue of early recordings and compositions was assembled by the Unheard Music Series as Otra Musica: Tape Music, Fluxus & Free Improvisation in Buenos Aries 1963-70 in 2000 and his most recent ensemble work can be heard on the New World Records CD titled Coplanar. He most recently appeared in our Alternating Currents Live series as part of Josh Abrams’ quartet in 2003.
