Former League of Automatic Music Composers and Hub member and friend and sometimes
Muscle Fish colleague
Tim Perkis has just released his labor-of-love documentary
Noisy People. It features eight people in the San Francisco improvised music community, covering as much or more of the way they live their life and who they are as it does their music. It includes such notables as my ex-neighbor and band-führer
Dan Plonsey (
Daniel Popsicle), the great
Greg Goodman who once, when I was experiencing the worst art career depression and angst, simply took a small scrap of paper and wrote
Do Better, a cameo appearance by the late bassist
Matthew Sperry, who played in the Seattle Creative Orchestra's performance of
Sub Pontio Pilato, and many others. My son Duncan and I went to see the premiere at the
Pacific Film Archive and you should see it too. Very beautiful and also very entertaining, very funny. A portrait of uncompromising creativity in life and art.
