Marchant Professor of Composition, 1999–2008) and Zeena Parkins (currently Milhaud Professor of Music), former members of Skeleton Crew the legendary experimental rock band and now internationally acclaimed composers/master improvisers. Alvin Curran served as the Milhaud Professor of Composition at Mills from 1991 to 2006. His music “embraces all the contradictions (composed/improvised, tonal/atonal, maximal/minimal...) in a serene dialectical encounter,” a musical diversity, which he calls the “new common practice.” John Bischoff, a master musical alchemist in the tradition initiated by David Tudor, will perform two solo works: Visibility Study posits analog circuit actions in open dialog with laptop synthesis responses. Calliope casts Henry Cowell’s visionary idea of a Rhythmicon in the imperfect form of a digital instrument whose tones lose energy and disassemble as each phrase develops. James Fei, David Rosenboom, and William Winant will play a trio by the legendary composer/multi instrumentalist Anthony Braxton, who served on the Mills faculty from 1985 to 1990 and held the Milhaud Chair from 1985 to 1987.More information:<a href="https://performingarts.mills.edu/programs/mills-music-now/fault-zone/index.php" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Music from the Fault Zone: Experimental Music at Mills College (1939 to the present)</a> <a href="https://performingarts.mills.edu/programs/mills-music-now/index.php" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mills Music Now</a><a href="https://performingarts.mills.edu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.performingarts.mills.edu</a>
