                   ====================

                     
The March Project is a world premiere duo between
Dino J.A. Deane (LapSteel Dulcimer & Electronics) and
Tim Motzer (Guitar & electronics). 

We met at Punkt Festval 2009 in Norway as Tim was
performing upstairs (with Ursula Rucker), Dino was
downstairs in another theatre sampling Tim's fuzzguitar
for the Punkt Remix (with Jan Bang, and Adam Rudolph).

We have a pretty good idea of the terrain we will be
traveling based on our musical backgrounds, that will
cover looping, drift, electronics and layering (from extreme
beauty to the very intense sonically).

Dino J.A. Deane
Over his career multi-instrumentalist, sound-designer, conductor Dino J.A. Deane has demonstrated an innovative approach to the world of music. Deane pioneered the use of live-electronics & live-looping in Indoor Life a popular art/punk band from San Francisco during the early 1980's. There he played trombone controlled synthesizer that emulated the sound of an electric guitar. Soon afterwards he was touring the world as the electro-acoustic live-sampling percussionist with Jon Hassell.That collaboration resulted in the ground breaking Power Spot recording for ECM in 1986, produced by Brian Eno & Daniel Lanois. During that same period Deane became a close collaborator in Butch Morris's real-time composition creations called Conductions and in 1995 co-produced Morris's epic 10 CD box set Testament for New World Records. Deane coined the term live-sampling, which means to record members of the ensemble while in performance, manipulate the sound and play back the recorded audio as part of the piece, all in real time. He is considered a master in this field of performance. Deane also has an extensive background in sound-design for theater and dance working with writer directors as diverse as Sam Shepard, Julie Hebert and Christoph Marthaler. Deane is sought after by music festivals, instrumental ensembles, spoken word artists, theater companies and conservatories worldwide for performances, projects and workshops.
