David Coll

David Coll, a versatile, young San Francisco-based composer, has written music for various disciplines, from concert hall to theatre and dance to interactive installations. He has studied at the University of Illinois and IRCAM in Paris, and is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California-Berkeley. Through ongoing emphasis in notation, the visual, and technology, his works create situations that investigate the physical presence of performers onstage. Through this investigation, sounds, interaction, motion, all are considered as

material, and the results vary between what might be considered wholly music, theatre, or some mix of the two.

David studies primarily with Edmund Campion and Erk Ulman, and has participated in master classes with composers Chaya Czernowin, Steven Takasugi, Brian Ferneyhough, Alvin Curran, and Philippe Leroux. He is a member of poto (potoweb.org). For more information, visit davidcoll.com

Euphonia, an acoustic combo featuring soaring
harmony vocals and sophisticated musicianship. This group brings together the compelling voices, restless minds and nimble fingers of four remarkable Northern California musicians.

* Singer-guitarist Sylvia Herold (Wake the Dead, Cats &
Jammers, Hot Club of San Francisco) delivers assertive
guitar work and shoulders most of the storytelling with
her clear, captivating voice.

* Mandolinist Paul Kotapish (Wake the Dead, Kevin
Burke’s Open House) dispenses rhythmic drive and
weaves tunes like vibrant musical threads through the
songs’ fabric while adding his own rich harmony and
lead vocals.
* Accordionist Charlie Hancock (Swing Farm, Crepes
Musette) draws on his deep reservoir of dance-music
performance to provide bounce and passion.
* Bassist Chuck Ervin (The Dialtones, Crepes Musette)
supplies a jazz-inflected pulse and


In its newest recording, The Old Jawbone, Euphonia
offers American old-time songs amid fresh renditions of
from John Hartford, Gillian Welch and the Sons of the Pioneers.
Fiddle tunes from America and Europe are woven throughout.
Guest percussionist Brian Rice adds jumping beans (in a can) along with ajawbone—of course—and a variety of homemade rhythm
instruments, giving these folk songs an unexpected and
compelling groove.The first album, Lovely Nancy (2005), Euphonia used innovative arrangements to breathe new life into songs
drawn from the Anglo-Celtic tradition.
