Tonight’s featured guest is Gry

Gry was born in Denmark in 1975, and grew up in Denmark, Norway and Mozambique. For the past 20 years she has been writing, composing and performing sound art, opera, radio plays, acapella, electronic and pop music. Her unique way of singing and using her voice include recording and looping of words, rhythms, and tones, creating experimental and melodic compositions. Gry’s text work has its own poetic logic; in her idiosyncratic way she deals with love, life, and death in both Danish and English, in some songs even with these and many other languages mixed together. In her live performances each composition is build up from scratch leaving the artist naked for the audience who can follow the act of creation while it happens. With her outstanding voice, exceptional originality and beauty, Gry is embodying the spectrum from dramatic pop to crazy avant-garde in a way that makes her a candidate for one of the most stunning contemporary divas.

In the beginning of the 90’s Gry founded the the sound-art group Æter with Jacob Kirkegaard and they started their first City Scape Europe, capturing the sounds, images and words from European metropoles and made compositions and concerts with the material. Gry then met the legendary drummer FM Einheit (Einstürzende Neubauten) and they started the band GRY, creating hits such as Princes crocodile and touring both Europe and USA. In 2000 Gry started a master study at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne and graduated in 2006 during the study time She founded the group The Loverz. She then moved to Berlin to start her own label, Present Records, and in In 2008 Gry released her first solo album, “Anima”. Anima is the first EP in he trilogy “X-ident” which will all be released on Present Records.

Unsound Festival New York Labs and ISSUE Project Room presents Gospel of the Skull featuring the New York debut of The Skull Defekts with Daniel Higgs at Littlefield. Baltimore-based Zomes (a project of another ex-Lungfish member Asa Osborne) and the Polish-born musician Paul Wirkus will open the night.

This event will take place at Littlefield at 622 Degraw Street, presented by ISSUE Project Room and Unsound New York Labs.

The Skull Defekts

THE SKULL DEFEKTS (Sweden/USA) aka Henrik Rylander (Drums / Electronics), Joachim Nordwall (Guitar / Vocals / Analog Synths), Daniel Fagerstroem (Guitar / Vocals / Electronics) and Jean-Louis Huhta (Percussion / Effects /Electronics) are joined by new member, former Lungfish member, Baltimore’s DANIEL HIGGS (Vocals / Various Instruments) for their new Thrill Jockey released album ” Peer Amid” and this their New York debut performance.

Hard at work on their numerous individual projects, constantly collaborating, releasing their own records on their own imprints, and touring incessantly, The Skull Defekts are Sweden’s answer to the America’s Sonic Youth and the Netherlands’ The Ex. Simply put the band is one of the centerpieces of the Swedish experimental rock scene.

Since their creation in 2005, The Skull Defekts have taken their base of classic rock with massive guitar riffing, and infused it with their interest in circular composition, drone, tribal music, Indian ragas, 60s minimalism, and experimental music from numerous ages.

Zomes

ZOMES (USA) is the guitar/organ project of Asa Osborne, Baltimore based guitarist of acclaimed Dischord signed foursome Lungfish. Zomes’ music is described by some as “heavy zone trance repetition.” The bands debut self-titled album was released in 2008 on the Holy Mountain imprint who said the record contained ” a cinematic quality that recalls “library music,” East German Indianerfilmen soundtracks, and even Blues Control at their most humid.” Osbourne’s performance gear consists of a series of pre-recorded percussion tapes and a keyboard run through several effects pedals that distort, fuzz, and sustain the phrases. Zomes has recently signed to Thrill Jockey for a new album due in 2011.

Paul Wirkus

PAUL WIRKUS (Poland / Germany) is a Polish born musician who lives in Cologne. Since the late 90s Wirkus has emerged both as solo performer (electronics, drums) and a collaborator with several projects ranging from modern improv to minimal electronica. Apart from solo albums such as “Inteletto d’Amore” (Quecksilber/Staubgold 2004 – nominated as CD of the month in the Wire magazine) and “Déformation professionnelle” (Staubgold 2006), Wirkus has collaborated live and on CD with musicians of various musical backgrounds, including – Barbara Morgenstern and Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot) with whom he performs as September Collective, Ekkehard Ehlers, and Johannes Frisch (Kammerflimmer Kollektief) who has joined Wirkus in the free jazz trio Wirkus/Trzaska/Frisch. Wirkus is also part of the drummer duo Moretti/Wirkus.
 Paul Wirkus has appeared at various renowned festivals such as SONAR, Barcelona; Musiques Volantes, Paris; c/o pop, Cologne; Les Urbaines, Lausanne; Wien Modern, Vienna. His recent collaboration with Ekkehard Ehlers (Berlin) resulted in the album “Ballads” that was released by Staubgold early 2009. Wirkus will also be performing with Svarte Greiner on percussion at B.A.M the following night, creating a live soundtrack to F.W. Murnau’s “NOSFERATU, A SYMPHONY OF HORROR”

Fundacja Tone is a non-profit, non-governmental organization established in 2008, to promote new forms of art – both sonic and visual, initiating intercultural dialogue by fostering international collaborations Based in Krakow, Fundacja Tone organizes Unsound Festival in Krakow. Like Unsound, Fundacja Tone is committed to promoting music and artists from the eastern side of the EU and creating bonds between the East and West of Europe. Fundacja Tone has realized various cultural projects thanks to support of, and in collaboration with, major Polish and international public institutions and partners.

The Polish Cultural Institute in New York, established in 2000, is a diplomatic mission dedicated to nurturing and promoting cultural ties between the United States and Poland. The Institute initiates, organizes, promotes, and produces a broad range of cultural events in theater, music, film, literature, and the fine arts. It has collaborated with such cultural institutions as Lincoln Center Festival, BAM, Film Society of Lincoln Center, The Museum of Modern Art, Jewish Museum, PEN World Voices Festival, Yale University, and many more.

The Goethe-Institut New York is a branch of the Federal Republic of Germany’s global cultural institute, established to promote the study of German and German culture abroad, encourage international cultural exchange, and provide information on Germany’s culture, society, and politics.

Vocalist Suzanne Langille and multi-instrumentalist Neel Murgai perform in a distinctive voice-percussion duo, much like they did on their recent release Wild & Foolish Heart (Family Vineyard). The Wire mentions how Langille “[throws] herself at the feet of her material,” letting go of her ego. Langille, best-known for her recording work with Loren Mazzacane Connors, began collaborating with Murgai in the late 1990s.

The kaleidoscopic arrangements of Paranoid Cat are a leap from the stripped down attack on Forsyth’s hotly acclaimed 2009 Dreams, a long-gone 100 edition LP that will be reissued by Family Vineyard later this year.  Paranoid Cat will be released as LP/DL by Family Vineyard on March 29.

Paranoid Cat is the result of Forsyth performing with a band over recent years and bringing together drummer Mike Pride, bassist Peter Kerlin, pianist Hans Chew (member of D. Charles Speer & Helix), pedal steel player Marc Orleans (Sunburned, D. Charles Speer, etc)  Koen Holtkamp (of Mountains) on synths, trumpeter Nate Wooley and others into the studio. The side-long, three part opener “Paranoid Cat” spirals out from a groove that owes as much to Richard Lloyd/Television as John Fahey’s America opus and continues through a transformation tempered by Chew’s piano but eventually breaks into a neo-psychedelic wall of sound. It’s a startling epic masterwork for 2011 and beyond. A much shorter, acoustic version of this song kicked off last year’s “Imaginational Anthem IV: New Possibilities” compilation on Tompkins Square. The second side showcases Forsyth’s depth with the aptly named “New Pharmacist Boogie” — a ripper in the vein of a one-string John Lee Hooker pulse study dedicated to departed friend Jack Rose — and the emotionally devastating sustained blues “Front Street Drone.” “Anniversary Day” fuses a lumbering pedal steel, marimba, trumpet and more into a cosmopolitan finale nodding toward Van Dyke Parks handiwork.

Since Forsyth released his debut 45 in 1998, his guitar style has been equally split between the rich yet often abstract melodies as a solo artist to the fractured, confrontational forces in the Peeesseye trio or alongside Tetuzi Akiyama, and in the tailored collaborations Phantom Limb & Bison and Dirty Pool. He is joined by Mike Pride (drums), Peter Kerlin (bass), Don Bruno (organ), and Hans Chew (piano).

Suzanne Langille and Neel Murgai

When The Wire reviewed the recently released LP, Wild & Foolish Heart, it spoke at length about Suzanne Langille’s vocals without really describing her voice or singing style. Instead, it focused on her aesthetic, noting how she prefers to let go of ego, “throw herself at the feet of her material and let it speak through her.” Best known for her work with guitarist Loren Connors, she began stepping out more individually in the late 1990s, with a solo piece for RoadCone’s InStress series of 7” EPs, and a Secretly Canadian release of the unusual Enchanted Forest. This was followed by collaborations in various permutations by Langille and Connors with four musicians from Atlanta – Andrew Burnes, David Daniell, Bryan Fielden and Neel Murgai. Recordings from this connection include Let the Darkness Fall, Up in Flames and Passing Song. Tonight, as on “Wild & Foolish Heart,” she performs with Neel Murgai, in a distinctive vocal-percussion duet.

Neel Murgai is a multi-instrumental performer/composer. He specializes in sitar, which he learns from Pundit Krishna Bhatt, and has a passion for frame drums, including the Persian daf, learned from Soheil Zolfonun. He also creates a more personal music, mixing it up in collaborations with artists from diverse backgrounds. In addition to his work with Langille, Murgai has composed music for film and TV and performed with artists such as Bill T. Jones, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Cyndi Lauper, Wyclef Jean, Sameer Chatterjee, Yuerba Buena, Yes Men, Daniel Bernard Romain, Ellen Stewart, Laraaji, Baba Israel, Raz Mesinai, Mission on Mars, Akim Funk Buddha, Loren Conners, Louis Bellogenis and Cosmo Vinyl.

Described as “the talk of the italian jazz scene” [Jazzit, december 2006] since its birth in 2004, Improvvisatore Involontario has soon become one of the most innovative and relevant artists’ collectives in Europe.

…Drummer Francesco Cusa along with guitarists Paolo Sorge and Carlo Natoli, founders of the association, have spread their connections worldwide starting from Catania (Sicily): the association counts today more than 20 members hailing from Rome, Milan, Paris, Berlin and New York where Marco Cappelli (virtuoso guitarist and fellow member) has long established himself among the most active performers in the downtown avantgarde scene.

Now, after European tours and gratifying reviews of its members’ newest records on the US press, improvvisatore Involontario lands in NYC to present its orchestra and its latest releases.

E l e c t r o shop (Concrete sound workshop) arises from an original idea by Antonino Chiaramonte and Anna Troisi, and takes the form of an open working group involving artistic collaborations between composers and performers from around the world. Electroshop is a workshop where the building of the sounding artworks (the ”concrete” musical instruments) the programming of original audio signal processing software and the video overlap with the creation of compositions or with electroacoustic improvised performances, achieving a correspondence between the created instruments, the live video and the music. It is in this way that the musical com position conforms to the concept of a “unique work of art”. Sound and video are focused on sensorial faculty. The musicians aim is to create a sort of cosy and intimate sound experience.

Admission to the Flexagons rehearsal and Q&A with ISSUE Board Member and longtime collaborator Luke DuBois is free and open to the public. Admission to the performances beginning at 7:30 will be ticketed ($35 / FREE for Members).

This is the second night of a celebration of Elliott Sharp, E#@60, which begins March 4 at 110 Livingston with the premiere of Elliott’s new work for double string quartet, Occam’s Razor. Join us to celebrate our friend and supporter at this special event.

ELLIOTT SHARP is a central figure in the avant-garde music scene in New York City of over thirty years and a long-time supporter of ISSUE Project Room. Composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, he leads the projects Carbon, Orchestra Carbon, Tectonics and Terraplane, and has pioneered ways of applying fractal geometry, chaos theory, and genetic metaphors to musical composition and interaction. His collaborators have included Ensemble Modern; Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan; Radio-Symphony of Frankfurt; Debbie Harry, Perry Hoberman; blues legends Hubert Sumlin and Pops Staples; jazz greats Jack Dejohnette, Sonny Sharrock, Oliver Lake, and Billy Hart; turntable innovator Christian Marclay; and Bachir Attar of the Master Musicians Of Jahjouka, Morocco. Sharp’s work was featured in the New Music Stockholm festival (2008), at the Hessischer Rundfunk Klangbiennale (2007) and the Venice Biennale (2003, 2007).

The evening begins at 5 pm and continues until 12:30 am:

“Cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum, guitarist Mary Halvorson, violist Jessica Pavone and drummer Tomas Fujiwara are among the most exciting new jazz musicians to emerge on the New York scene,” declares the Wall Street Journal’s Martin Johnson, “and it is hard to talk about any one of these players without mentioning the others. Each of these musicians is a masterly soloist, and they all are creating music that is delicate, complex and eclectic. There isn’t much—if any—repertoire written for cornet-viola-guitar-drum ensembles, but with the appealing blend of unique sonorities and lithe rhythms found on (un)sentimental,that may soon change.”

Critics have credited the group with “truly remarkable capabilities”(Nick Storring, Exclaim!), “a knack for detailed and apropos framing of each others’ solo turns” (Bill Meyer, Dusted), and “an admirably relaxed sense of self, and a shared conviction to keep all options open” (Nate Chinen, New York Times). AllAboutJazz.com’s Troy Collins adds, “The unified ensemble sound of The Thirteenth Assembly is centered around empathetic communication and a willingness to subvert ego for the good of the group; there is no grandstanding here, only four longstanding friends conspiring to make adventurous yet accessible music. A stunning achievement,(un)sentimental demonstrates the endless possibilities of contemporary music by players at the top of their game.”

Pierre-Yves Macé (1980) is a French musician whose musical practice encompasses improvisation on machines, a background in piano and classical percussion, jazz-rock/prog-rock bands, dance accompaniments, and an interest in literature and musicology. He received his PhD in Musicology in 2009, which explored phonography and the “sound document” in contemporary music. His first recordings, Faux-Jumeaux, was released on John Zorn’s Tzadik label in 2002. Subsequently, he released Circulations (Sub Rosa, 2005), and Crash_test ii (Tensional integrity) (Orkhêstra, 2006) for a string quartet. He has held residencies at CalArts in Los Angeles, CNMAT in Berkeley (2004), and GRM in Paris (2006, 2008). Macé has performed in the Octobre Festival in Normandie, MIMI, Villette Sonnique, Brocoli Transnumériques. His artistic collaborations include projects with ON (Sylvain Chauveau & Steven Hess), That Summer, Louisville, artist Hippolyte Hentgen, and writers Mathieu Larnaudie, Philippe Vasset, and Christophe Fiat. He is also a member of the Encyclopédie de la parole, a speech encyclopaedia crew whose goal is to constitute a compositional plan through which different forms of recorded speeches may be compared.

Miniatures / song recycle (2010) for piano and tape (including 12 anonymous found voices):

“I began working on this miniature project when I was asked to perform something for piano and laptop. My first concern was to avoid the typical ambient stuff which melts piano and electronics into long and extended movements. As a limited pianist, I also decided to use the instrument more as an accompaniement to something else (a lead part) than as a soloist in itself. All those thoughts lead me to work on a collection of very small pieces which rigorously alternate between “music concrète” miniatures, and songs made of recycled material. The processed voices we hear on those songs come from anonymous a cappella recordings found on the web (and to a lesser extend on films) ; reversed and cut into small fragments, they constitute a completely new musical material which is then accompanied by the piano. Set up that way, the collection of « songs » unexpectedly evoke a traditional lied form, a song cycle made of recycled raw material.”
