Out soon on Pi Recordings:
Pi Recordings is pleased to announce the release of Travail, Transformation, and Flow, an important new recording from the Steve Lehman Octet that marks the first fully realized exploration of spectral harmony in the history of recorded jazz. Widely regarded as one of the most advanced musical minds of his generation, Lehman integrates delicate and highly nuanced spectral harmonies into meticulously crafted rhythmic settings. The result is an all-encompassing musical universe that advances a singular conception of rhythm, harmony, and improvisational form.
An update from composer / performer / producer Robert Rich:
My remix for David Rothenberg using his whale recordings just appeared on “Whale Music Remixed” available at CD Baby here: http://cdbaby.com/cd/davidrothenberg3. Other contributors include DJ Spooky, Scanner, Markus Reuter, Ben Neill, and many others.
I contributed a new solo piece to an Israeli compilation on the Aleph One label. I don’t know when this will become available, but my piece is called “Moth Wings” and plays around with polyrhythms using the “penny in a dryer” effect that I showed on the YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0qQYFA0dUg.
I also made a remix for nonprofit “Danger Global Warming” with vocal tracks from Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) whose voice I’ve always enjoyed. I recycled the Danger Global Warming song into a dark dirge, a bit in the spirit of Legendary Pink Dots. Good fun.
…and, I recently mastered some delicious albums. Forrest Fang’s “Phantoms” is now out on Projekt. I always feel honored to work with Forrest, such a giant musical mind he has. I also worked on a new album from Don Swanson, whose drums graced my group Amoeba, and formed half of The Telling. His new project has a mellow, seductively optimistic mood, like Donovan meets Bosa Nova – tentatively titled “Velvet Sky.”
My own new solo record moves slowly forward. I worked with Paul Olguin last week on some upright bass parts, to replace my keyboard scratch tracks. Paul backs up some great bands around the Bay Area, and I expect he’ll be the dominant bass voice on this new album, once I figure out what I want.

Coming on June 20, from Metropolis Underground:
Tom Carter is best known for his work with acclaimed psych-drone iconoclasts Charalambides, which he co-founded with Christina Carter in 1991, he has branched out into other collaborations since 2001, playing and recording with long-term projects Zaika (with Marcia Bassett) and Badgerlore (with Rob Fisk, Ben Chasny, Liz Harris, and Peter Swanson), as well as in frequent collaborations with Bay Area sound artist Robert Horton. Other fellow travelers have included Christian Kiefer, Tetuzi Akiyama, Thurston Moore, Shawn David McMillen, Dredd Foole, Lorren Connors, Pip Proud, Inca Ore, Jandek, Bardo Pond, and Matt Valentine, among many others.
Most recently, Carter has focused on his solo performances and recordings, touring constantly from 2007-2008, and finally settling in New York City in early 2009. His solo work covers a vast territory, but latter-day sightings show him to be concentrating on looped guitar drones of immensely-stacked grit and beauty, with heaps of psychedelic melodic content missing from the repertoires of many noise and drone bands.
Shawn David McMillen met Tom and Christina Carter Charalambides—now considered early pioneers of the present avant-folk movement—as well as Heather Leigh Murray. Heather and Shawn moved to Galveston, where she attended Texas A&M/Galveston while “working at an animal clinic, recording music constantly, and having cataclysmic experiences on acid together at the beach.” Shawn and Heather recorded together as Ash Castles on the Ghost Coast, releasing one CD on Charalambides’ Wholly Other imprint and playing one show with Palace Brothers. Circa 1999, the pair moved to Austin where they played with Rick Reed in Abrasion Ensemble and later formed Iron Kite. Recorded mostly at night, Catfish is acoustic-based only because Shawn had no electric guitar at the time. Other instruments include autoharp, Roland keyboard, Indian goat bell, Indonesian gongs, bowed electric bass, African kalimba (thumb piano), and shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute). Cited influences at the time include American Indian lore, music from the Middle East and India, Phil Yost, Robbie Basho, and Malachi.
Steve Gunn plies his trade in the Northeast, calling Brooklyn home. He’s best know for the major role he plays in the group GHQ. Over the course of numerous excellent releases, it became clear that Gunn was a real force in experimental music. Once his solo music started being unearthed, there was no turning back. Steve will be performing a mix of improvisational blues based guitar works.
The Boy Who Spoke Clouds is the moniker of Adam Casey, former guitarist and singer of Australian sextet, Seascapes of the Interior. The Boy Who Spoke Clouds began as a musical departure point from Seascapes of the Interior, amalgamating Adam’s love of gypsy and indigenous music and the polyrhythmic approach of composers such as Steve Reich and Gyorgi Ligeti with his bittersweet shamanic-folk based compositions.
Show starts @ 8pm
$5.00-$10.00 donation

From Riverfront Times:
Unlike his more dour peers, Eugene Chadbourne is an avant-garde icon for the rest of us. In more than 30 years of performing, the multi-instrumentalist, improviser, writer and raconteur has filled more than 100 of his own and other people’s albums with guitar freakouts, goofy voices, banjo freakouts, left-wing satire, amplified yard-implement freakouts and even songs with verses and choruses and everything. He’s collaborated with John Zorn, Billy Bragg and Corrosion of Conformity, and he still tours everywhere, all of the time.

From Black Plastic Bag:
It’s probably a pretty rare occurrence that New York City residents turn to D.C. for help, advice, or anything else when it comes to cutting-edge culture. But lo and behold, I just got word that Silver Spring’s Cuneiform Records has been asked by John Zorn to curate two weeks of concerts at that nonprofit haven for experimental music in NYC, The Stone.
