From Coalinga To Osaka — Faxed Head: Live in Japan 1995 Beautifully shot on three cameras during Faxed Head’s improbable 1995 tour of Japan, From Coalinga To Osaka documents the pride of Coalinga, CA in all their self-handicapped, brain-damaged glory. Live footage of the self-proclaimed “desk metal” quartet is interspersed with baffling but authentic footage of a Japanese junior high school class in which the students are being instructed on the subject of… Faxed Head! This strange and wonderful document is a surefire hit to fans of Mr. Bungle, Neil Hamburger, and Caroliner…all acts that Faxed Head has long been associated with, for reasons that are not clear.

The Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble, a groundbreaking new music ensemble led by classical and film composer Jack Curtis Dubowsky, performs live musical soundtracks to experimental films including underground classics by John and James Whitney, and new works by Jeffery Cravath, Phil Maxwell (UK), Hazuan Hashim (UK), Ben Coopersmith (NYC), and Samara Halperin.

The Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble combines acoustic instruments, electronic hardware, audiovisuals, composed material and structured improvisation. The Ensemble, founded by classical and film composer Dubowsky, treats analog synth as a rare and unpredictable performance instrument. Our music,†abstract, calm, spacious, free form, transcendental, contemporary, electroacoustic mystical psychedelia, is performed and recorded live with no overdubs or sequencing.
