Toby Driver w/ Tartar Lamb II - new premieres
Wed Oct 20 - 8:30 PM
TARTAR LAMB is an avant-electroacoustic band hailing from New York City,
led by composer Toby Driver. Their hallucinatory music has its roots
in doom-goth, progressive rock, and new age, and has combined these
influences with their experiences in the modern classical and
avant-jazz worlds of downtown New York to create a completely unique,
complex, heartbreaking, and meticulously composed genreless sound all
their own. Tonight at Roulette, TARTAR LAMB will be performing their
2010 four-movement suite, "Polyimage of Known Exits," a terrifying take
on euthanasia and regret. "Polyimage..." features heavy electric bass,
piles of delay pedals, brutal noise, processed woodwinds, demented
melodies, and haunted vocals in glacial freefall around the galactic
moebius of Kronos. Following this, Driver and the members of Tartar
Lamb will premiere new material in a similar vein.
INTERPRETATIONS: Jerome Cooper / Min Xiao-Fen
Thu Oct 21 - 8:00 PM
Dynamic solo music from two of New York's most unique
instrumentalists. Min Xiao-Fen performs solo on pipa, Nanyin pipa,
children's pipa, sanxian, electronics, and vocals, incorporating her
own calligraphy, paintings and other art. Jerome Cooper will perform
his extended four-part work, "RING-PASS-NOT", showcasing his
multi-dimensional percussion concept.
Gary Lucas: I Cover the Waterfront
Fri Oct 22 - 8:30 PM
Guitarist extraordinaire/ Grammy-nominated songwriter and composer Gary
Lucas has been called "The Thinking Man's Guitar Hero" (The New Yorker)
and "one of the best and most original guitarists in America". On
October 22, Gary Lucas presents "I Cover the Waterfront" - a solo
acoustic guitar concert spanning his entire career and featuring
originals, country blues, arrangements of everything from 30's Chinese
pop, Jewish music, Wagner, Dvorak, Leroy Shields, Henry Mancini and
much more. Guest starring trombonist Jim Staley.
CHILDRENS CONCERT: Andrew Drury $5
Sat Oct 23 - 2:00 PM
For this participatory performance, composer/percussionist Andrew Drury
will improvise and talk about his work. Drury conjures an unusual and
dramatic range sounds from the drums using a violin bow, breath,
fingernails, a dustpan, plastic chopsticks, faucet parts, and slivers of
wood. Children in the audience will get to try the techniques for
themselves, ask and answer questions, and play in a percussion jam at
the end.
Miya Masaoka w/ Akiko Sasaki
Sat Oct 23 - 8:30 PM
Experimental kotoist Miya Masaoka premieres two new works with Akiko
Sasaki: Channeling Scelsi: with Italian Channeler Carlo Costa, and
Swimming Through Madness with Miya Masaoka. Channeling Scelsi is an
interpretation of Scelsi's 1965 composition Ygghur originally written
for cello but performed tonight on two 13 string kotos.
Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York
Sun Oct 24 - 8:30 PM
"Unpredictable, wildly creative, and uncompromising…Fujii is an
absolutely essential listen for anyone interested in the future of
jazz." — Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz
Critics and fans alike hail pianist and composer SATOKO FUJII as one of
the most original voices in jazz today. She's "a virtuoso piano
improviser, an original composer and a band-leader who gets the best
collaborators to deliver," says John Fordham in The Guardian. In
concert and on over 50 albums as a leader or co-leader, the Tokyo
resident synthesizes jazz, contemporary classical, avant-rock and
Japanese folk music into an innovative music instantly recognizable as
hers alone. Since she burst onto the scene in 1996 after earning her
graduate diploma from New England Conservatory, Fujii has led some of
the most consistently creative ensembles in modern improvised music.
