In 2001, bassist/composer Bill Noertker formed his own group, Noertker's Moxie,
as a forum for his thematic compositions. Since then he has been composing and performing
suites of music inspired by visual artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Salvador Dalí, and Joan Miró, architect Antoni Gaudí, poet Rainer Maria Rilke, sculptor David Beck, and others.
Noertker has composed over 150 pieces of music for this group and has released eight CDs, including three CDs of his extended suite Sketches of Catalonia, and two volumes of his extended Blue Rider Suite. He has also composed music for three films that showcase the intimately-scaled sculptures of David Beck, and composed the score for a Nikos Koumoundouros film, The Commandments or the Nostril of Ektor Kaknavatos, that was selected for the prestigious Festival de Cannes 2010 - Short Film Corner.

Virtual Assembly is a chamber trio that doesn’t know what it’s going to play before it plays. But when it plays, the problem of all the capacities and ideas it has within turns into live music. Before that
the music is not actual, it’s virtual; yet real . . . i.e. concentrated in the assembly like the dream of a butterfly in the cocoon. Bob Marsh is a veteran multi-instrumentalist and master cellist active
on the Bay Area experimental scene since the turn of the century. Jim Ryan has also been performing in the Bay Area for many years. Eli Wallace is a recent MFA graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. “The reality of the virtual consists of the differential elements and
relations along with the singular points which correspond to them. The reality of the virtual is structure.” Gilles Deluze Difference and Repetition.
