This week we are treated to some of the very best in contemporary electro-acoustic, improvised musique concrete. From Amsterdam, we have Shackle:
comprising two veterans of the innovative “New Dutch Swing” scene,
where the barriers between avant garde classical, free improvisation and
electro-acoustics were abolished long ago, leading to the virtuosic and
disciplined post-concrete improv the Netherlands has become renowned
for producing. Rushford and Talia are
similarly impelled, and are currently two of the greatest local
proponents of electro-acoustic improv. And recent West coast emigre, Chris de Groot, returns to MIUC, this time focusing on stuttering vinyl fragments amidst chaotic analogue noise.
- Shackle (Netherlands), featuring: Anne LaBerge (flute and electronics) and Robert van Heumen (laptop and controllers) Shackle is supported by the Performing Arts Fund NL.
- Christopher de Groot (prepared vinyl and analogue synths)
- James Rushford (viola and electronics) and Joe Talia (revox)
