Chandler/Korber/Weeks
Burmese rhythm section Matt Chandler (bass) and Jay Korber (drums) join forces with saxophone libertine Tom Weeks to play hardcore, tough as nails free improvisation.
BEAM SPLITTER is a duo for amplified voice, trombone and analog electronics. Utilizing the pure sounds of acoustic and closely amplified sound sources, the duo joins together two individual voices into a distinct dialog that delves beyond the borders of the corporeal elements of extended technique and sound. There is an intimacy and conflict that becomes evident as the two personas intertwine, in moments joining together seamlessly and in the next, being left with the feeling of irrevocable fracture. The two manage between these extremes with a kind of improvised grace that reveals an effort towards a common goal. It is an honest metaphor for a human relationship in process that even in the most serene moments can leave one raw and entirely exposed.
Junior Mint Prince
Blurred distinctions of song-form, performative gesture, and open improvisation serve the core interests of Jr Mint Prince. Performances have been described as ephemeral & captivating as they strive to draw influence from disciplines such as freak folk, electronic free improv, poetry, texture, and drone music. Junior Mint Prince transcribes moments of pure expression into audible substance.
