Following the release of their highly acclaimed duo album ‘me madame (good news from wonderland)’ on D’Autres Cordes (d’ac 5002) earlier this year, Franck Vigroux (France) and Matthew Bourne (UK) make their debut appearance here in New York. A passion for intense counterpoint, analog synthesizers and extremes of texture ensure that this concert will be mindfucker of unbelievable breadth and power. They will also be joined by
pioneering NY saxophonist Ellery Eskelin.

“Like some electrifying new form of freak jazz, Me Madame literally fills all available space with its mutant genome. Vigroux and Bourne are the
sonic
geneticists that are to be credited with the discovery” (Exclaim)

“FrancK Vigroux and Matthew Bourne” the pair of them using synths, keyboards, voice, guitar, turntables and ferocious electro-acoustic processing
to create a delicious, fast-edit structure that, through rigorous planning, conveys exciting sensations of utter chaos, a helter-skelter ride to emancipation for your mind” (The sound projector)

090706_r18632_p465-1

Two Sundays before Make Music New York, the Brooklyn-based venue Issue Project Room, an indispensable site of offbeat programming, organized its own sonic jamboree. Twenty-one musicians led groups on “soundwalks” around Brooklyn and other boroughs, treating the city either as an audio source or as a stage for their work. (The term “soundwalk” was popularized by the Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer, who, in the spirit of Ives and John Cage, has long blurred distinctions between composed music and ambient sounds.) Two dozen people signed up for a soundwalk with Betsey Biggs, a young Princeton-trained composer and interdisciplinary artist who often creates site-specific performances. Beforehand, Biggs directed participants to a Web site where they could download “Detox Project,” an electronic piece that she had assembled for the occasion. It consisted largely of sounds recorded in and around the murky old Gowanus Canal, in Brooklyn: machine noises, trucks backing up, the bell of a rising drawbridge, sirens, pedestrian chatter, and, for a long while, a voice softly humming a childlike, three-note melody.

Late in the afternoon, we met at a boarded-up house at the corner of Third Street and Third Avenue and began following Biggs’s lead, listening to “Detox Project” on earphones. The streets were deserted, except for a few hipsters pushing strollers. It was unsettling to hear loud sounds without seeing their source. Conversely, certain noises that seemed to emanate from the soundtrack actually came from real life: I was surprised to see live birds in a dead tree. The experience proved to be psychologically complex, exposing how we orient ourselves with our ears. And, as Biggs notes in her Princeton dissertation, this kind of work plays off Internet-era listening habits—the use of manicured playlists to create what she calls a “cinematic lull,” a “solitary dream state.” When the walk curled through the quiet streets of Carroll Gardens, the collage of noises subsided and the human voice took over. Biggs began banging on a tin drum that she’d brought along, and a friend played an accordion. An electronically mediated experience veered toward old-time music-making. At the end, we stood on the Third Street drawbridge and applauded the composer, who smiled bashfully, nodding toward the strangely beautiful ruined landscape behind her. ♦

Michael Gira (Angels Of Light / Swans)

Michael Gira founded the seminal NYC band Swans in 1982. Quickly infamous for their punishing, brutal and repetitive onslaughts of sound, extreme volume levels, and the self-abusing, abject shouts and growls of Gira’s sloganeering vocals, Swans gradually transformed over 15 years, ultimately venturing into harsh mechanical proto-industrial rock, to sprawling shifts of texture and perspective  (see the bucolic atmospheric folk idles and martial stomps of their much heralded Children of God double LP from 1987), to gentle acoustic-based songs, and finally on to their ultimate statement, Soundtracks For The Blind (1997) which somehow incorporated all of these elements at once, across well over 2 hours of music in one album. At this point, Gira called it quits after 15 years of relentless touring and productivity, and disbanded Swans. Since 1999 Gira has released his music under the name Angels Of Light. He writes the songs for Angels Of Light on acoustic guitar and orchestrates them using a shifting cadre of musicians, employing a wide variety of instrumentation such as strings, wind, brass, electric guitars, electronics and choral vocals. The songs are often eccentric and extreme, in keeping with Gira’s love of soundtrack music. Though nominally more traditional than Swans, Angels Of Light is often just as hard hitting through different means. The most recent album by Angels Of Light is We Are Him. Though Angels Of Light recordings are often elaborately orchestrated, Gira has recently chosen to tour exclusively solo, using acoustic guitar and voice. The performances are raw, to the point, and emotionally powerful. When not recording, writing music, or touring, Gira spends his time producing and releasing music through his label Young God Records. He’s been responsible of late for such notable talents as Devendra Banhart, Lisa Germano, Akron/Family, Fire On Fire, and most recently, Larkin Grimm. In early 2009 Young God will release the YGR debut by the acclaimed composer/guitarist James Blackshaw.

TIME OUT NY/  CONCERT PREVIEW (excerpt) 2008, by Jordan Mamone:

” Armed with only an acoustic guitar and a commanding baritone, Michael Gira

could make mincemeat out of the most “extreme” metal and punk bands. His

heavy-handed strumming and clear, virile voice—not to mention his impeccable, neatly pressed appearance—lend ample gravitas to even his prettiest folk ballads. (Lyrics like “When you open your mouth you’re too stupid to scream” will seduce misanthropes who dig Thomas Bernhard novels rather than pixies who worship Joanna Newsom CDs.)…’ It’s heartening to see that Gira, the erstwhile East Village confrontationist, now in his early fifties and living upstate, has reached one more peak in his long, unpredictable career. ”

TIME OUT LONDON / CONCERT PREVIEW 2007, by Sophie Harris

“No-one – but no-one – does menace like Michael Gira. Not Liars, not Black Dice, not Selfish Cunt or indeed any of today’s confrontational young bucks. None of the bands that Gira has influenced, in his thirty-odd (and they are odd) years making music comes close to the

darkness that bubbles so deliciously through his music. But then, Gira’s life story so far is nothing short of extraordinary.

A ‘difficult’ child (born to difficult parents), he ran away from home at 14, ended up at a kibbutz in Israel, selling drugs and his own blood on the streets, in jail, and then working in a copper mine. His father eventually tracked him down through Interpol, and Gira was shipped back to California to go to high school. He dropped out, and by the time he arrived in New York in ‘81, Gira describes himself as ‘boiling over with non-specific rage’.

Enter then, Swans, legendarily the Loudest Band Ever. To this day, rock nerds’ faces light up as they remember the inter-crowd injury/vomiting/deafness that characterised the art rockers’ live shows; Gira would be physically pummelled by the drone, hurling himself at the ground repeatedly, knocking out teeth in the process (it rather puts Richie Manic’s ‘4 Real’ to shame).

But musically, there’s so much more to Gira than these shock-horror stories. Perhaps what is most surprising is that in his years as Angels Of Light, Gira has produced a series of mesmerically beautiful records, often boasting a shimmering delicacy. As a child, before all

the craziness happened, Gira used to listen to Disney and Burle Ives records, and this world of fantasy and fairytale saturates his latest album ‘We Are Him’ (it’s notable too, that Gira and his wife Siobhan Duffy ‘discovered’ Devendra Banhart and produced his first, gnarly

folk records on Gira’s Young God label, now also home to Akron/Family).

A huge, handsome man, Gira now sports immaculate suits, braces, and a Stetson onstage, booming out songs with the assuredness of an old-fashioned preacher. The darkness Gira deals in today is far subtler than those early days – just don’t doubt for a second that you’ll be left breathless.”

WAND

In addition to running the Polyamory label with Tovah O’Rourke, James Toth was the leader of New York-based avant-garde/freak folk ensemble Wooden Wand & the Vanishing Voice. Taking the first part of that name as his own — and occasionally billing himself as “Wooden Wand Jehovah” — Toth gathered at one point or another O’Rourke (who also comprised Dead Machines with her husband, Wolf Eyes’ John Olson), Satya Sai, Glucas Crane, Steven the Harvester, and Heidi Diehl. There were others, too — the Vanishing Voice lineup shifted as much as its members’ various aliases. The sounds the group made were fluid, too, incorporating everything from the ’60s mysticism of Donovan and Van Morrison to free jazz, /p>

oise rock, folk raditionals, and the entire Silt Breeze catalog. Wooden Wand & the Vanishing Voice released numerous CD-R and vinyl recordings into the indie folk/experimental underground during the early 2000s; they were also responsible for relatively more conventional releases like 2003’s Xiao (Destijl, later reissued by Troubleman Unlimited), 2004’s Sunset Sleeves (Weird Forest), and Buck Dharma, issued in September 2005 through 5 Rue Christine. That same year Toth released Harem of the Sundrum & the Witness Figg simply as Wooden Wand. The recording’s skeletal folk structures and evocative lyrics garnered quite a bit of positive press, especially in the wake of Devendra Banhart’s success. The band released two albums in 2006, Gipsy Freedom and Second Attention. 2007 saw the release of James and the Quiet, followed in 2009 by Hard Knox, a collection of demo and home recordings under the moniker Wand.
