From Chicago’s Lampo:
JEROME NOETINGER, JEAN-LUC GUIONNET & WILL GUTHRIE
SAT MAY 17First-time U.S. performance by this new trio of improv super colossal goliaths — Noetinger (Revox reel-to-reel, electronics), Guionnet (alto saxophone) and Guthrie (percussion).
Jerome Noetinger (b. 1966, Marseille) composes musique concrete in the studio and plays live improvisation with an electroacoustic set made of tape recorders, mixing desk, analog synthesizer, loudspeakers, microphones and electronics. Projects include his duo with Lionel Marchetti (since 1993), duo with eRikm (since 2001) and Quintet Avant (since 1998) with Marchetti, Jean Pallandre, Marc Pichelin and Laurent Sassi. He is a member of the famed MIMEO ensemble, as well as a member of Cellule d’Intervention
Metamkine with filmmakers Christophe Auger and Xavier Quérel. Noetinger also is an active organizer. He runs the Metamkine label, distribution and mail-order service. He is a key participant at the influential audio arts magazine Revue et Corrigee. Noetinger lives in Grenoble, France.For over a decade Jean-Luc Guionnet (b. 1966, Lyon) has been an important presence in French new music, creating musique concrete (he studied with Xenakis), radiophonic projects and site-specific installations (often in the company of Eric La Casa), and improvising on alto saxophone in a variety of fields. He is based in Paris.
Australian percussionist Will Guthrie (b. 1977) uses home-made instruments, amplified junk, microphones and electronics alongside more conventional drums and cymbals. Originally a drummer, he has worked in many different settings of music: live performance, improvisation and studio composition. He also runs the experimental improvised CD label, Antboy Music. Regular collaborators past and present include Ferran Fages, Jean-Philippe Gross, Julien Ottavi, Jerome Noetinger, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Keith Rowe and Jim Denley. Guthrie lives in Nantes, France.
Jerome Noetinger first performed at Lampo in June 2002 with Lionel Marchetti. He returned in May 2004 to play with eRikm. Jean-Luc Guionnet first performed at Lampo in May 2006 with David Chiesa and Michael Zerang. This concert is Will Guthrie’s Chicago debut.
