Now here's a collaboration with potential. Sebastian Rochford is one of the most exciting, innovative (and hairiest) drummers in the UK. He is perhaps best known for his work with Mercury Prize nominees Polar Bear, or with now-defunct jazz-punk outfit Acoustic Ladyland, both of which helped show a large number of people that jazz really isn't boring at all. Pamelia Kurstin , meanwhile, is apparently one of the world's leading theremin players. She has collaborated with David Byrne, amongst others, and Bob Moog think she's the [...]
« Happening Tone », την Πέμπτη 29 Οκτωβρίου και την Παρασκευή 30 Οκτωβρίου , στο αμφιθέατρο του Ιδρύματος Θεοχαράκη ( www.thf.gr ), Βασιλίσσης Σοφίας 9 και Μέρλιν 1. Η εκδήλωση στοχεύει να αναδείξει τη «συνομιλία» μεταξύ τεσσάρων μουσικών, που κινούνται στον ευρύτερο χώρο της σύγχρονης μινιμαλιστικής, πειραματικής και ηλεκτρονικής σκηνής, με κλασικότροπες, τζαζ και «indie» αναφορές, των Hauschka, Pantha Du Prince, Pamelia Kurstin και Morgan Packard , ανιχνεύοντας τόσο ομοιότητες, όσο και αντιστίξεις. Η ιδέα συνίσταται σε δύο ισόχρονες και ισοδύναμες εμφανίσεις την ημέρα -χωρίς την έννοια του «support»- η [...]
We're quite stoked for the next Friday as we're preparing for a huge event in Istanbul focused on te spooky instrument that is " theremin ". Starting with a biopic focusing on Leon Theremin's life, meeting one of the foremost Theremin artists in the world right now, the classically trained Pamelia Kurstin who released an album on Tzadik last year. Performances by authentic Turkish acts, Baba Zula and Dinar Bandosu and partying the rest of the night with NY's nudisco prince Daniel Wang and our local hero Barış K . It's almost [...]
Image credit: unknown This is the third and final part of a series that pays tribute to the supernatural ambience of the ocean's deep. Not so much the sea itself but the mystery and solitude that lies beneath its seemingly endless surface is what brought inspiration for this series. Whereas the previous part evoked the solitude of a dark endeavour to the depths of the ocean, this list is more hopeful and during the final part even strangely romantic. The central piece here is the overwhelming performance by Lubomyr Melnyk of [...]
Photo credit: Soul Dirty With this instalment we gradually start our exploration of the infinite emptiness of space, black holes and time bending energy. But watch out, while we will continue to move away from the sonic attack of exploding stars and spiralling galaxies and into the darkest corners of space, we will encounter some strange and mind baffling places. The bizarre and alienating sounds of Pamelia Kurstin's theremin for example. Quite possibly one of my favourite records of this year so far. With this, the overall feeling of this part is [...]
