Marshall Trammell, a self-styled Music Research Strategist, is such a person whose name would be mentioned, if there were a Black Arts Movement West, coming from a musical curiosity and lineage supported amongst the San Francisco Bay Area Creative Improvised Music scene.

Trammell has worked directly with John Tchicai, David Murray, Saul Williams (twice), Raven Chacon, Kade Twist, Laura Ortman, Hafez Modirzadeh, Bill Roper, Akira Sakata, Ava Mendoza, John Dieterich, Susan Alcorn, Carlos Santistevan, Aaron Turner (SIGE Records), Tashi Dorji, William Fowler Collins, Rob Magill (Weird Cry Records) Chris Brown (piano; Artifact Records), Warren Realrider, Tongo Eisen-Martin, Anjelica Sanchez, Will Alexander (poet), Luke Stewart, Jesse Cox, Jawaad Taylor, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Farida Amadou, Lisa E. Harris, Pamela Z, Francis Wong, Thurston Moore, NAKA Dance Theater and others.

Personal affiliations include George Lewis and Seth Cluett (at Columbia University), Douglas Ewart, Vijay Iyer, Janine Jackson and Jesse Cox (at Harvard), the Rethinking Place Steering Committee for the Center of Indigenous Studies at Bard College (NY), Hafez Modirzadeh (at San Francisco State University), Curators and Creative Directors at Sonic Acts Biennale (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), Darmstadt International Institute of Music (Darmstadt, Germany), Borealis Festival of Experimental Music (Bergen, Norway), East Side Arts Alliance (Oakland, CA) and Creative Time (NYC).

Rooted in the Black Radical Tradition and seated at the drum set, Trammell weaponizes culture through producing participatory and collaborative research pedagogies and containers for interculturally-situated Communication, Active Listening and the redefining of the very idea of the percussive through community impact cultural work.

Pat Cain’s electronics are one-half of the DC experimental hip hop duo, model home. With Nappy Nappa (voice), they take a freewheeling and improvisational approach that forms a sonic journal, unfiltered and immediate. Cain’s solo excursions are also available on their Bandcamp page.
