More about the bands…

White Out
Free sound mavericks White Out first arose from the subterranean depths of New York’s fading meat packing district in the fall of 1995. Their off the wall freak out style quickly established the band as a hurricane force to reckon with.

Nymph
NYMPH is a Brooklyn-based psychedelic-shred/avant-garde outfit whose tempestuously transcendent music has been penetrating the New York music scene with bared teeth.

Messages
With tones as thick and texturally luxuriant with spiritual resonance as their long, glorious hair, Messages are the two worthy gurus currently contributing to the echo. Messages evoke the womb.

Alarm Will Sound will set the stage during the Mizzou New Music Summer Festival

July 19, 2010 — Mike

From Vox Magazine:

They are a team of musicians driven by a rhythm coach and led by notes that have spanned generations. They are the members of Alarm Will Sound, a fine arts ensemble that stretches the musical boundaries of society by forging genres from many eras. In the group, modern electronic music meets an acoustic orchestra ready to take on classical works. Nine years ago, 20 students from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., made a faux pas in the world of Western music by not confining themselves to performances of music by classical composers. They expanded their student-led classical ensemble, Ossiaa, by forming Alarm Will Sound. The group is known especially for its renditions of music by electronic musician Aphex Twin, who synthesizes mixed tracks of techno-digital sounds. Alarm Will Sound uses traditional orchestral instruments to recreate his music.

Introducing Anthony Braxton

July 19, 2010 — Mike

From All About Jazz has reprinted a 1970 article on Anthony Braxton.

Anthony Braxton, Maurice McIntyre, Joseph Jarman, Lester Bowie, Roscoe Mitchell, Malachi Favors, LeRoy Jenkins, Wadada Leo Smith, Steve McCall and Henry Threadgill are just some of the gifted and mostly very young musicians involved in the Chicago movement. These men have not only embraced the new aesthetic, they are adding remarkable dimensions to it. In addition to the utilization of extraordinary instruments like harmonicas, accordions, sirens, Chinese gongs, Hawaiian tipples, whistles, etc., the Chicago players are using objects like garbage can covers, chairs and beads to make sounds with. They are also incorporating theatrical effects with provocative results.

Reut Regev: The Accidental Trombonist

July 19, 2010 — Mike

From Nova Scotia’ TheChronicleHerald.ca:

REUT REGEV didn’t choose the trombone, the trombone chose her. Since she was handed the tubular instrument from the bass end of the brass family as a teen living outside of Tel Aviv, the New York-based musician has made the most of it. Like its ability to glide up and down the scale, Regev has become quite flexible since moving to the U.S. over a decade ago, performing with innovative musician-composers like Anthony Braxton and Elliot Sharp, and lending her talent to Latin and klezmer groups as well as contemporary classical and improvised projects.
