Dan Joseph

Dan Joseph - Born in Washington, DC, now based in Brooklyn, plays the hammer dulcimer in solo performances and various ensembles.

He has appeared with Pauline Oliveros, Thomas Buckner, Miya Masaoka, Fred Frith, Pamela Z, The Phoenix Spring Ensemble, Comma and many others.

John Ingle - Originally from Memphis, TN, now based in San Francisco, his music draws from many sources: modern concert music, traditional and free jazz, Asian folk music and Southern gospel and soul. He performs regularly with the new music quartet Shinola and with electronic artists Laetitia Sonami and John Bischoff. He has also performed with such diverse artists as Ed Finney, Fred Frith, Leo Smith, Stevie Wonder as well as with the Memphis Symphony and the Taipei Philharmonic. Was recently artist in residence at Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito.

Trancepatterns

With the unusual instrumentation of saxophone and hammer dulcimer, the John Ingle/Dan Joseph Duo offer a unique brand of contemporary creative music. Combining elements of Minimalism and free jazz with a taste for Eastern modes, their music is at once ancient and modern, entrancing and complex. Their collaboration began in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1998 where their frequent performances have attracted a devoted following. In March 2000 they released their first CD trancepatterns on the Dendroica Music label. Featuring new studio recordings, the CD also includes live concert tracks with guest artists India Cooke on violin, and Miya Masaoka on koto.
