A week of Noise curated by Thurston Moore: Key to Shame + Heaven People

Thu 30 Oct, 2008, 8pm
Old American Can Factory

Key To Shame is the already legendary duo of Mark Morgan, guitarist from Brooklyn mind/body meltdown trio Sightings and Pat Murano, shred vocalist/guitarist of local black metal underground avatars Malkuth and founding member of the No-Neck Blues Band.

Heaven People is the New Haven, CT duo of Kryssi Battalene and Danny Moore. A wild improvisatory duo utilizing bowed guitars, prepared music boxes and harmonica, thumb piano, samplers, various electronics and cloud-splitting vocal swoops.

“I could discuss in great detail the centerpiece performance by Heaven People; a bottomless well of reverb-laden thumb pianos, gliding strings, static slurpskritch with the ornate detailing of a Faberge egg. But these sorts of sounds defy clear corralling no matter how many sentences I construct around them. Much better to experience them.” - Impose Magazine

A CD forthcoming on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace! imprint.
