An unwritten future of records from the past, because the next sound you hear may well be your last.
The Brother Lucy Show with Kurt Gottschalk Presents A Neil Peart Birthday Celebration at the Issue Project Room on Friday, Sept 12.
With Brown Wing Overdrive and Sean Meehan and David Watson Drum/Bagpipe duo
Brown Wing Overdrive is Chuck Bettis (electronics + vocals), Mikey IQ Jones (electronics + jaw harps + percussion + objects + vocals) and Derek Morton (electronics + banjo). They cite as influences pollution, angry shamans, burning circuitry, lonely poltergeists, sandpaper, dental work, alarm clocks, hallucinogenic banjo claw hammer, trash trucks, beat box'in, synthy modular meltdown and chaotic analog.
Sean Meehan has been active in improvised music in New York since the
late 80s. He plays a single snare drum, sometimes augmented with
cymbals or other objects, in a manner that sheds conventional usage
and reconstructs the conception and function of the instrument. His
concerts around the world are often staged in unobserved and
unconsidered outdoor locations. He has recorded solo and with Sachiko
M, Ellen Fullman, Tetuzi Akiyama, Toshimaru Nakamura and others. His
artistic output also includes the construction of "performance
objects" that serve as "compositional things," such as "gift iii'"
which musically activated a sink full of dishes, and a boxed set of
four sculpted cassettes to be played in the mind.
Guitarist and bagpiper David Watson hails from New Zealand, where he
was a member of Primitive Arts Group and co-founded Braille Records.
He released three LPs on Braille, and did much to create an
improv/noise-music scene where previously there was none. In 1987 he moved to New York and has performed in clubs, new music and concert venues throughout New York, Europe, Australia, NZ and Japan. He has worked with Ikue Mori, Marc Ribot, Zeena Parkins, Kato Hideki, Cecil Taylor, Andrea Parkins and others, and has curated music series at Roulette, Experimental Intermedia, St. Marks Church, Greenwich House, Bang-on-a-Can, PS 1, and PS 122. In 2007, he released "Fingering an Idea" (XI), a two-disc set for multiple guitars and bagpipes, and "Throats" (Ecstatic Peace) with Shelley Hirsch and Makagami Koichi.
Kurt Gottschalk writes about, talks about, thinks about, listens to and plays (on the guitar, on the radio) music. He still likes every band he ever liked.
