Experimental-sound matinee in SOU Meese Auditorium with Ruehlen/Trejo Duo (Tucson) & Voodoo Krewe (Ashland)

Tucson, AZ-based experimental project Ruehlen/Trejo Duo will be on their latest west coast tour in January ’25.

Interdisciplinary artists Cecyl Ruehlen & Chelsey Lee Trejo perform long-form compositions with expanded instruments focused around slowly unfolding harmonic variations, alternative tunings, and textural devotion that veers towards topos, or landscape, rather than song.

Ruehlen will be utilizing his latest hand made sound object, a “hexachimeric drone” of resonating, multimodal strings and voicings, while Trejo works with a combination of custom crafted, bowed metal objects, synthesis, and field recordings. Their collaboration grows out of the traditions and present-edge of drone musics that spiral across desert communities throughout the world. Both artists are central performers and event/venue programmers within the Tucson underground/experimental music scene, working with a variety of collaborators and projects.

Voodoo Krewe is an Ashland collective inspired by the diverse musical traditions of New Orleans, including jazz, funk, soul, rhythm and blues, and more. Formed by drummer/bandleader Matt Fleming and bassist Christian Gonzalez, both anchors of the rhythm section arrived in Southern Oregon after playing professionally in other cities (Matt in Los Angeles and New Orleans, and Christian in Washington, D.C.). The two bonded over their shared love for jazz, neo-soul, and the seminal D’Angelo album, Voodoo. Joined by D.C. native Kent Hayward on saxophone, the trio is excited to open the performance.

Bill Thorndike Jr. remembered as community titan, treasured friend

Family, community members and longtime friends of Medford native Bill Thorndike Jr. were collectively at a loss for words over the weekend at the sudden loss of a man they say had a hand in nearly anything good to happen in Southern Oregon for much of the past half-century. Thorndike, 71, suffered a heart attack early Saturday morning, just following a Valentine’s Day spent with his wife, Angela Thorndike, at a family cabin on Whidbey Island in Washington’s Puget Sound.
