Secret Chiefs 3 in Oakland

Tonight’s SC3 show is previewed.

Led by former Mr. Bungle guitarist Trey Spruance, Secret Chiefs 3 has been exploring a heady collision of Middle Eastern modes, twanging surf-rock, lush cinematic overtures, and corrosive death metal for a solid decade. In concert, the band is known for its complex orchestrations and dazzling virtuoso interplay as Spruance leads his ever rotating team of collaborators through his labyrinthine compositions.

RIP Henri Pousseur

Henri Pousseur passed on late last week.

Generally regarded as a member of the Darmstadt School in the 1950s, Pousseur’s music employs serialism, mobile forms, and aleatory, often mediating between or among seemingly irreconcilable styles, such as those of Schubert and Webern (Votre Faust), or Pousseur’s own serial style and the protest song “We shall overcome” (Couleurs croisées).
