The Analogous Ensemble is a collection of new instruments designed and built by artist Dan Gottwald. His aim is to blend object and sound in performance of new music.
Gottwald's unique instruments can be seen in the upcoming Market Street Prototyping Festival and accompanying various dance companies throughout the Bay Area.
He holds a MFA in electronic music from Mills College and BFA in visual arts from the University of New Mexico.

The Cornelius Cardew Choir is a SF Bay Area-based vocal performance ensemble. Situated at the intersection of community & experimental music, these professional, amateur, & novice singers work collectively to turn ideas into sonic action. We recognize our music-making as enacting healthy political economy, with respect for individual contributions and high regard for the community as a whole. The choir is named in honor of Cornelius Cardew (1936-1981), an English composer and political activist. Please visit our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/cardewchoir

In May 2009 Cohen Alley was reclaimed as “The Tenderloin National Forest”, but Luggage Store Co-Artistic Directors/Artists Darryl Smith and Laurie Lazer of the have been working to transform this alley since 1989. Originally a place emblazed in a health-hazardous cesspool of bodily fluids and other dumped items, non-supervised open-air chemical experiments and illicit – criminal activities — the Tenderloin National Forest is now a vibrant community commons where people of all ages can gather for public art, performance, experimental art projects, classes and activities… Driven by experimentation, cooperation, volunteerism, inclusion, dialogue and food.
