Hans Tammen & Zavodniks! in Brooklyn on Thu, Jan 10, 2013

  By

Hans Tammen & ZAVODNIKS!

“Factory (A strike!) Prison (The leader of the strikers is arrested!) Masters of the Universe (Declaration of a lockout!) Ball for the Masters of the Universe (Ending with revolution and victory of the workers!) Stock Exchange. Seizure of the stock exchange by the proletariat, who turn it into a pantheon of work.”

Unsettling, frantic and anti-sentimental, Hans Tammen’s ZAVODNIKS – for whom machine oil is mother’s milk – fuse relentless polyrhythmic machinations with ethereal yet roughly sewn soundscapes, like a mix of Mwandishi, Bitches Brew and Sextant, with a hint of Magma. Dark, sometimes brooding ensemble passages mix and mingle with tightly woven drum-loops, and extended solo cadenzas build up to a mighty hymn to machine work, music of a metallic nightmare.

How fitting! ZAVODNIKS! play at THE FIREHOUSE….

Dafna Naphtali & Ursel Schlicht in New York City on Tue, Dec 4, 2012 7pm

  By

Dafna Naphtali (voice/electronics) & Ursel Schlicht (piano)
with: Briggan Kraus (saxophone), Satoshi Takeishi (percussion)

at Spectrum
121 Ludlow Street, 2nd floor, New York NY
1/2 block north of Delancey; 1 block from the Essex/Delancey stop of the F, M, J and Z trains.

Dafna Naphtali and Ursel Schlicht forge their respective and unique approaches to their instruments and music. Dafna’s instrument is live sound processing — “audio machinations” of her extended vocal techniques and other instruments. In this performance she lets loose on Ursel Schlicht’s signature techniques inside the piano and at the keyboard, and in the second set in a quartet with guests Briggan Krauss and Satoshi Takeishi– electro-acoustic improvisations, live sound processing, tight interaction between music and audio gestures and phrasing, and an exploration/inspiration of a tune or two by (recently departed) pianist Borah Bergman.

  • Artist: Hans Tammen’s Third Eye Orchestra

  • Country: United States
  • Age restrictions: All Ages
  • Notes: HANS TAMMEN & THIRD EYE ORCHESTRA “ABIOGENESIS” Hans Tammen uses Earle Brown’s open form composition idea as a starting point to create a large multi-movement piece, thoroughly composed and purely improvised at the same time, inspired by West African roots of Jazz, Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew, Steve Coleman, and Stravinsky’s layering or Steve Reich’s phase techniques. In ABIOGENESIS, written for the Czech Center’s beautiful Bohemian Hall, the conductor uses the orchestra as an instrument, while each performer shapes the music through virtuosic improvisation and the individual stylization of musical performance. “Everything about Third Eye Orchestra… indicates mastery and control” (Howard Mandel / CD Liner Notes) Mari Kimura (vio), Jason Hwang (vio), Stephanie Griffin (vla), Tomas Ullrich (cello) Ned Rothenberg (clarinet, bass clarinet), Michael Lytle (clarinet, contra bass clarinet) Briggan Krauss (as, baritone sax), Robert Dick (flutes, contra bass flute) Dafna Naphtali (live sound processing, voice) Denman Maroney (p/kb), Ursel Schlicht (p/kb), Nick Didkovsky (g) Jonas Tauber (b), Satoshi Takeishi (perc) Hans Tammen (composition, conducting, concept)
