Upcoming Shows at Trinosophes

From Detroit’s Trinosophes:

April 12: Mind Over Mirrors, Chatoyant, Clarinet Panic
Mind Over Mirrors is the solitary reeling of American harmoniumist/electronicist Jaime Fennelly. Utilizing an Indian pedal harmonium, oscillators, tape delays, and an assortment of synthesizing processors, Fennelly bends slowly-building, repetitive melodies into massive sonic mountains. Folklorist Brendan Greaves may have best summed up Mind Over Mirrors’ “referential compass points—G.I. Gurdjieff’s harmonium improvisations; certain particularly harmonically viscous recordings of Sacred Harp singers; Edward Artemiev’s soundtracks to Tarkovsky films—in its patience, its simultaneously formal and folk aspects, and its sheer, unabashed (if intermittently anxious) beauty, it doesn’t sound much like anything else being made today.” His fourth album, When The Rest Are Up At Four, was released in September on Immune Recordings, following releases on Digitalis, Hands In the Dark & Aguirre/Gift Tapes. Fennelly was a founding member of the iconoclastic trio Peeesseye (with Chris Forsyth & Fritz Welch), is one-third of free jazz unit Acid Birds, and is now a resident of Chicago, IL after living for three years on a remote island in the Salish Sea of Washington State, where the Mind Over Mirrors project was initially developed. http://www.mindovermirrors.com/

Chatoyant is a mosaic of door creaks, shot gun blasts, rustling wind, alien ages and biker rock. A post-vocalist group with no songs in particular, they sound like many of your favorite bands for a moment or two. while sounding like no band at all. Somehow it ‘s all so familiar, like from a dream we all had once. Over the past year, Chatoyant have put out three releases in editions of 20. They have many more planned for 2014.

Clarinet Panic is a new group that hails from Toronto and performs mathy chamber-rock on cello, drums, guitar and saxophone.
