One Sunday a month\, we present three orig inal pieces in a varied mix\, chosen from music\, dance\, film\, theater\, performance art\, writing\, and the like &mdash\; each 12 minutes or less. The whole event is s hort and sweet\, taking about an hour.

\n

Following each event\, we s erve coffee and cookies in an informal gathering\, a chance for conversati on with the artists.

We welcome Junior Mint Prince \, an experimental duo consisting of Provo musician Lula Asplund and Naomi Harrison-Clay from New York Ci ty\, both nonbinary multimedia artists studying electronic music at Mills College in Oakland\, California. They will perform a mix of improvisation and open-score pieces. \; They say of their work: &ldquo\;Blurred dist inctions of song-form\, performative gesture\, and open improvisation serv e our core interests\, drawing influence from a variety of genres includin g freak folk\, electronic\, free improv\, texture\, and drone music. We al so love to incorporate elements of poetry\, humor\, theatricality\, and po litical satire in our work. We generally perform using various combination s of instrumentation ranging from homemade contact mic'd found object inst ruments\, voice processed through Max MSP\, electric guitar\, saxophone\, and synthesizers.&rdquo\;

Local documentary filmmaker Travis Low will present an excerpt of his favorite documentary film ever made\, his friend Bill Daniel's Who Is Bozo Texino? The subterranean and uniquely American folkloric practice of hobo and rail worker graffiti is discovered in this gritty and picaresque artist-made film. Who is Bozo Texino? ostensibly chronicles a se arch for the story behind a legendary boxcar graffiti -- a simple sketch o f a blank-staring cowboy character with the scrawled moniker &ldquo\;Bozo Texino.&rdquo\; Shot over the course of 16 years of trips across the West at considerable risk from speeding freight trains and in secret hobo jungl es\, Daniel and his trusty Bolex 16mm camera interviews some of the last r emaining old timers who kept the folk art of "monikers" alive. Texas-born\ , San Francisco exiled\, and confirmed tramp\, Bill Daniel continues to ex periment with survivalism and bricolage in his attempts to record and repo rt on the various social margins he finds himself in. Currently based on t he Texas gulf coast\, Daniel divides his time between Texas and touring.\n


Musician and composer Neil Thornock will pre sent his composition for solo marimba Quantasy\, performed by Stephen L. Hughes. Quantasy derives from "quantum f antasy." Thornock says &ldquo\;Think of quantum leaps or quantum entanglem ent or the quanta absorbed and emitted by active electrons. This piece was originally written for bass flute\, but it lives much better as a marimba solo.&rdquo\; As a musician\, Neil Thornock writes much of his music for his own performances as organist\, keyboardist\, and carillonneur. He teac hes composition and theory at Brigham Young University. Percussionist Hugh es is also an author\, composer and private instructor\, as well as acting as an artist/consult for percussion at several Utah Band programs.

This program is modeled after 12 Minutes Max\, a performance laboratory originated by On the Boards in Seattle.
