JESSICA PAVONE & TRISTAN KASTEN KRAUSE (https://relativepitchrecords.bandcamp.com/album/images-of-one)
NYC based violist Jessica Pavone and bassist Tristan Kasten Krause come together in this haunting duo with a new release on Relative Pitch Records fittingly titled "Images of One". The duo's seamlessly meditative yet moving compositions see their instruments interwoven as one voice, often traversing as a single sonic force accented by subtle fluctuations. The music creeps beyond its size filling the space like a rolling fog. Tension hums as riled strings shout out in sharp protest. Strings take on the facade of organ notes with their smooth curves and quivering undertones. Heavy contemporary string music! LINA ALLEMANO FOUR (https://linaallemano.bandcamp.com/album/vegetables) Bi-continental trumpeter Lina Allemano is back in Toronto for a spell with her most classic avant jazz free wheeling quartet featuring Brodie West (alto sax), Andrew Downing (double bass) and Nick Fraser (drums). The quartet's songs are born from the world of jazz, but often meander into other territories improvising their paths. The horns converse, mimic and embellish each other in a playful nature as if they are siblings. Bass lines whisper as guttural trumpet notes hobble quietly along side. The four feel comfortable flowing from slow moving passages filled with thoughtful interactions to the more fast paced free jazz fueled rambunction of a school yard recess. Don't miss this Toronto out jazz crew while they are all in town! JELLY EAR (https://mechanicalforestsound.blogspot.com/2022/09/recording-jelly-ear.html) Composer / cellist Cory Harper-Latkovich's (Clarinet Panic) newest project Jelly Ear sees him take up medieval stringed instrument the rebec. This ensemble featuring an ever evolving cast of members plays creatively open renditions of medieval repertoire. The maudlin wistful interpretations bristle with quiet nuance and tears of hope. Jelly Ear's pensive cautious dance evokes the dreams of a world long past. Contained cacophony buzzes with energy of a bucolic babbling brook. This evening Jelly Ear will feature Sara Constant on flute, Yang Chen on frame drums, Sebastian Shinwell on guitar, Naomi McCarroll Butler on sax, clarinet, tin whistle & homemade instruments, and of course Cory Harper-Latkovich on rebec. Show up on time to taste the true jelly sound! This night is co-presented with Nick Fraser! Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/882765539720982 |
SUNDAY, MARCH 5TH @ The Garrison (1197 Dundas St. West) - 8pm - $20 Adv / $25 Door
WOLF EYES (https://wolf-eyes.bandcamp.com)
Long running Detroit noise unit Wolf Eyes touch down in Toronto to drip some of their psycho-jazz slow burners on the populace. Wasted guitar jams meander amongst crippled electronics. Layers of distortion give blistered songs a new meaning, as maligned vocals crawl through the thick air. Foreboding sparsity creates spiritual unrest. Languid sax shreds like the sound track to some lost Twin Peaks episode. Gnarled psych riffage curls back on itself. Electronic tones squeal and blister like some insect dialogue. These contemporary experimental noise pioneers have collaborated with Anthony Braxton, Merzbow, Sonic Youth, Richard Pinhas, John Wiese and loads more in their search for new sonic mutations. The current duo format of John Olson and Nate Young sees these long running agitators further evolving their quarter century old sonic language. A not to be missed mind destruction unit.
DRAINOLITH (https://drainolith.bandcamp.com)
Montreal’s Alexander Moskos’ (AIDS Wolf, Dan’l Boone, SEF III) broken blues project Drainolith feels like it’s always in motion. Angular guitar riffs and futureshock electronics drive songs that feel as frantic as they do languid. Moskos’ calm vocals drift across plains of unstable notes that jitter as if only held together by their common energy. Sonic structures sway, full of guitar notes, percussive & electronic jabs that evoke some collage-like assembly. Inspired as much by Robert Ashley as by Leonard Cohen, Drainolith is the iconoclast we need in rock-based music these days!
DEATH KNEEL (https://totalblack.bandcamp.com/album/adaptive-emotional-use)
Max Klebanoff’s (Tomb Mold) industrial noise unit thrives on buried rhythmic nodes under walls of crackling distortion and blistering sonic disfigurement. Nascent hums blossom into spectral ambient drones. Gnarled electronic pulses waver in grand fields of dissonance. Granulated tones crumble and reform as the tracking adjusts on Death Kneel's harsh noise synthesized into meditative soundscape creation.
