Jaap Blonk

(The Netherlands)

http://www.jaapblonk.com/

https://jaapblonk.bandcamp.com/

"Jaap Blonk (born 1953 in Woerden, Netherlands) is a self-taught composer,

vocalist, poet and visual artist. His unfinished studies in mathematics and

musicology mainly created a penchant for activities in a Dada vein, as did several unsuccessful jobs in offices and other well-organised systems. In the early 1980s he discovered the power and flexibility of his voice, and set out on a long-term research of phonetics and the possibilities of the human voice.

At present, he has developed into a specialist in the creation and performance of sound poetry, supported by a powerful stage presence and an uninhibited feeling for improvisation. He performs and gives workshops worldwide on a regular basis.

With the use of live electronics and visuals the scope and range of his concerts has acquired a considerable extension.

To this date Blonk’s music has appeared on 30 CDs with his own Kontrans label; many other recordings as well as books with his visual work have been published in several countries."

"I want music that can delight me and scare me at the same time. Sounds that coax me into dark room and suffocate me with bliss.

Wade Matthews & Jill Burton
(Madrid, Spain & Gainesville, FL)
http://www.wadematthews.info
http://www.jillburton.net
"In 1989, after completing his doctorate at Columbia University in New York, French-born American musician Wade Matthews moved to Madrid and became active on the international improv scene. Drawing on his work at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center (His doctoral dissertation was on improvisation guided by electronic sounds) he approached the bass clarinet and alto flute as “acoustic synthesizers,” rethinking their sonic possibilities, phrasing, and relation to breath in a musical language based on real-time creation. When faster processors made laptop synthesis viable, Matthews gradually abandoned the woodwinds and returned to his first love, tweaking a virtual synthesizer to allow very rapid control of sound parameters for solo playing and dialog with others. In 2007, he founded INTERMEDIA 28 with photographer Adam Lubroth and guitarist Julio Camarena. There, he began to combine field recordings with electronic synthesis in a 2-computer setup that has since become his main instrument." --http://www.wadematthews.info/Wade_Matthews/ABOUT.html

"Jill Burton (born 1952) is an American improviser, extended vocalist, dancer, performance artist and energy worker. Noted as one of the great foundation improvisors of America, she is also known for incorporating spiritual healing with improvised performance. Active in the American improv scene since the early 1970s, she has lived and worked all over the country, including a ten-year stint in the 1980s as part of the downtown East Village experimental arts community, and six years in Sitka, Alaska, where she worked with Tlingit storytellers providing musical accompaniment for their healing stories. Burton is unusual for a musician in that her work is ephemeral, in-the-moment, and therefore recordings of her work are rare. She has collaborated with many notable experimental musicians and dancers, including LaDonna Smith, Davey Williams, Jane Scarpantoni, Judy Dunaway, David First, Rain Worthington, Gino Robair, Jack Wright, and Scott Walton." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Burton

GRÜN WASSER
(Chicago, IL)
("Arising at the forefront of contemporary underground pop, Chicago based duo GRÜN WASSER shapes the course of minimal electronic music and blurs the boundaries of art, songwriting and performance on their latest full-length Not Ok with Things out October 4, 2019. Vocalist Keely Dowd and producer Essej Pollock artfully bend and reconfigure popular trends in dance music into unconventionally catchy songs and a powerful live show. Their unique mix of hardware, software and sampling coalesce into irresistible rhythms and driving sequences that fuse perfectly with Dowd’s distinctive alto voice, forming music that is as instantly appealing as it is fascinating. With lyrics inspired by personal struggles and social inequality, GRÜN WASSER raises the bar on innovation in modern pop as they arrive on the national stage with Not Ok with Things.")

Action Research 198

Action Research #198:

Macula Dog
(Queens, NY)
("Macula Dog Is the Cross Between Devo and 'Pee-wee’s Playhouse' You’ve Been Searching For" --Tim Scott, Noisey)
http://maculadog.com
https://haord.bandcamp.com/album/macula-dog
https://wharfcatrecords.bandcamp.com/album/why-do-you-look-like-your-dog

Cabo Boing
(Tampa)
("Like Mark Mothersbaugh’s electro-contortions or Animal Collective’s Sung Tongs-era surrealism or any of his many labelmates on the New York cassette imprint Haord, he has a keen ability to make music that’s both parasitically catchy and wholly unfamiliar." --Colin Joyce, Pitchfork)
https://haord.bandcamp.com/album/blob-on-a-grid

Euglossine
("Euglossine bridges the complex harmonies of jazz fusion, the ornate synth performances of library music, and the rapidly evolving sentimental resonances of video game music. While Coriolis paints Euglossine as a scholar who has pored over the diverse branches of 20th century progressive composition, the reality of his playing cuts through preconceptions of elitism or excess typically attributed to these musical traditions — perfecting the sense of raw beauty and wonder that lodge our favorite tunes in our long-term memories.")
https://hausumountain.bandcamp.com/album/coriolis
https://euglossine.bandcamp.com/

Ironing
("Florida's J. Dilla meets Otomo Yoshihide + his own thing" --Kenny Millions. Best believe I wrote that one down so I wouldn't forget.)

Action Research 196

Action Research #196, in collaboration with Pulp:

Tatsuya Nakatani
http://tatsuyanakatani.com/

"Tatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde sound artist and master percussionist originally from Osaka, Japan. Based in the USA since 1994, he lives in Truth or Consequences, NM. Since the late 1990’s, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings in the USA and Europe and has toured extensively; performing solo, in collaboration with other artists, and with his large ensemble project - the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. He presents masterclasses, workshops, and lectures across the USA and around the world.

"Nakatani’s approach to music is visceral, non-linear and intuitively primitive, expressing an unusually strong spirit while resisting genre. He creates sound with both traditional and extended percussion techniques. Utilizing his adapted bowed gong, drums, cymbals, singing bowls, metal objects and bells, as well as various sticks, kitchen tools, and his breath he manifests an intense and organic music that represents a very personal sonic world. His approach is steeped in the sensibilities of free improvisation, experimental music, jazz, metal and noise, and yet retains the sense of space and quiet beauty found in traditional Japanese folk music. His percussive instruments can imitate the sound of a trumpet, a stringed instrument, an electronic device…to the extent that it becomes difficult to recognize the source of the sound. He has devoted himself to a musical aesthetic where rhythm gives way to pulse, often in a way that is not always audible or visible, in currents that incorporate silence and texture. Nakatani’s primary music activities include solo percussive performance, his Nakatani Gong Orchestra (NGO), and collaborations with musicians and dancers both in live performance and recordings.

"Tatsuya Nakatani has spent the last 20 years traveling and performing extensively throughout the United States and beyond. His constant touring fosters the raw and fresh quality in his music which can only survive through an open willingness to share energy, culture, music and self on a global human scale."

Dave LeBleu
Dave Lebleu (The Mercury Program, The Album Leaf, Textual) will be performing with his recent solo drum project utilizing Sensory Percussion drum sensors.

There will also be a collaboration between Tatsuya & Dave which is surely not to be missed!
