DUANE PITRE (w/ 15 piece ensemble)
Link : MySpace
Duane Pitre is a Brooklyn-based, avant-garde composer, performer and improviser. His current works explore both chaos and discipline -- and the relationship that exists between the two.
Ensemble Drones is a rule based, long-tone composition for 12 or more performers from the strings, winds and brass categories along with bowed electric guitar and harmonium. The composition requires its performers to make minor decisions based on its score -- which provides a structure consisting of set playing methods, technique restrictions, a fixed tonic, fixed pitch classes and spontaneous conduction -- resulting in slow-shifting permutations of a single chord over a long duration. The result is a piece of music that is focused, yet fluid, minimal, yet dense -- yielding a sound that is not unlike slow-motion chamber music.
Pitre's 21st october performance of Ensemble Drones will feature an ensemble consisting of 15+ local performers and the composer.
JOZEF VAN WISSEM
Link : MySpace
Composer-lute player Jozef Van Wissem is renowned for his unusual approach of the Renaissance and Baroque lute, probably the most unlikely instruments in the world of contemporary music. The unusual wedlock of composition and improvisation creates an unheard amalgam of contemporary folk and seventeenth century lute literature. His pieces use palindromes and mirrored structures and a subtle electronic sound manipulation. His hypnotic music brings the listener in a state of concentrated listening.
Jozef Van Wissem also runs the Incunabulum label and collaborated with James Blackshaw or Gary Lucas.
"In The Mirror of Eternal Light, the Dutch lutist Jozef Van Wissem catches his own reflection in tender, minimalist picking and gold-spray overdubs."
David Fricke, senior editor, ROLLING STONE Magazine, march 2008.

« En s'ouvrant aux autres, la musique de Experience a donné envie aux plus courageux de faire découvrir ce rock unique à ses voisins. Rien que pour voir s'ils oseront assister aux concerts cataclysmiques du groupe. » Les Inrockuptibles
"SIGUR ROS MEETS TWIN PEAKS" Pitchfork Doom ridden horror jazz music... Gore instrumental... 50bpm... Se laisser pénétrer par l'univers de BOHREN UND DER CLUB OF GORE, c'est un peu comme se jouer avec aisance des forces de gravité. En ouverture, ALEXANDER TUCKER, pensez à Jim O' Rourke, Stockhausen, Steve Reich et au finger-picking de John Fahey.
