ARNER at the Deep Listening Art/Science Conference at EMPAC http://deeplistening.org/site/conference 2 performances! The Birds of Rensselaer An improvisatory score based on bird spectrograms, for small ensemble The Oliveros/Van Nort/Arner/Rigler/FILTER Quintet! Four humans and the Freely Improvising Learning and Transforming Evolutionary Recombination system in concert Sunday July 13, 2014 Troy NY
David Arner The marriage of art and science has as one of its myriad beginnings one question, “What bird is that I hear?” Aristotle, the first person in Western civilization who asked (and answered) that question, also asked, “What is art?” Ever since, interweaving threads of inquiry, observation, experimentation and creativity on the part of ornithologists, inventors, musicians and an army of dedicated amateur birders continue to ask more questions, seeking whatever insights may come to light.
David Arner’s wall-size spectrogram score for his “Abstract Songs for Birds: American Goldfinch ” will be on display.
David Arner, Pauline Oliveros and Doug Van Nort play with Van Nort’s FILTER—the Freely Improvising, Learning, and Transforming Evolutionary Recombination system, at Roulette.

Feature Article by Peter Aaron
“A pianist whose innovations have lately astonished the jazz world”
I certainly intend to play something from Connie Crothers’ new release SPONTANEOUS SUITES FOR TWO PIANOS which is a masterpiece of freely improvised duets with David Arner — a 4-cd set that I’ve only so far listened to the first disk (about seventeen times! ) — of my thoughts on this, it occurred to me […]
But A Rumor to Me Tuesday May 1st, 2012 DAVID ARNER piano and harpsichord An Invocation of Hermes Twice Revealed David Arner (piano, harpsichord, narration) Namely, a cryptic improvisational score based on a chorale for the Earthling (implied but not revealed) for solo piano once and then for harpsichord exploring yet also re-contextualizing in […]
David Arner has a pianistic fulminosity (it’s a kind of abundance) that comes across with the substantial release Porgy/Bess Act 1 (CIMP). He is joined by the first-rank bass virtuoso Michael Bisio and the lightly subtle yet freely engaging drummer Jay Rosen.

Flights and songs of birds served as this concert’s inspiration. Arner’s expressive freedom seemed the perfect embodiment of avian disregard for human-contrived borders and rational systems.
Arner is an intense, introspective pianist who methodically constructs sound portraits of shattering dimensions [on Live from the Center].

Concert Review: Solo piano concert at the Center for Performing Arts, Rhinebeck, NY in December 2003. The CD “Live From the Center” is from this concert.
How vast is the capacity of this pianist to create exciting, energized and unforgettable music.
Performance Review: Susan Osberg Workwith Dancers Company performed Ubiquitous Gestures & Found Object featuring five dancer-narrators and the emphatic yet empathetic piano of David Arner at the 2005 Improvised and Otherwise festival. Published in Signal to Noise magazine.
Arner “holds and transports listeners through the incredible maze of his seemingly unflagging imagination.”
Whether glissading over the keyboard or wailing on the balafon, David Arner is one of the Valley’s most consistently inventive and stimulating musical improvisors.
Featuring David Arner on a 1968 Steinway L piano, Michael Bisio on contrabass and Jay Rosen on drums. I hadn’t heard of pianist David Arner before four discs of his recently arrived at DMG, one on CIMP, two self-produced and this one. While the CIMP CD is based on the music of “Porgy & Bess”…
New Vanguard Series performance review. David Arner (piano), Michael Bisio (bass) at Deep Listening Space.
Arner has a pianistic touch that conveys intensity, even when he’s dancing lightly over the keyboard.
It happens on the Lower East Side (NYC)… It happens once a year… It gets bigger every year… It features some of the most adventurous and important jazz musicians of our time… It attracts an audience from around the world… It lasts 11 days… It takes place at the Abrons Arts Center plus… … 6 other […]
