Stream the archive of Grasshopper live on EVR

Grasshopper Performing in EVR's storefront studio

Brooklyn-based noise/drone duo Grasshopper performed live on Radio Heart on Sunday November 13 at 4pm ET. They played 2 separate sets, and even did a few hilarious “man on the street” interviews. You can listen to an archive of the show here.

More on Grasshopper:

Using trumpets, effects and an EVI, members Josh Millrod and Jesse DeRosa have crafted a singular sound, which is at times ominous and transcendent. Both classically trained horn players, their unique approach to the trumpet is informed equally by figures as various as Miles Davis, Morton Subotnick and Wolf Eyes, resulting in compositions akin to a grittier Brian Eno or low-fi Jon Hassell. Their most recent releases are a cassette on 905 Tapes entitled “Classical Music” and an LP “Goodnight My Sweet Prince” on Baked Tapes. Their premiere vinyl release “Calling All Creeps” came out last year on Prison Tatt Records.

Photos from Dense Mesh V

I took some photos from Dense Mesh V, a salon for experimental music organized by Lea Bertucci. The fifth in the series, the bill from this past Saturday included: Doron Sadja, Charles “Lumpy” Dube, Tristan Shepherd, Bob Bellerue and Wanda Gala, and Max Eilbacher. The highlight, for me, was Doron’s set which integrated the sound of fire alarms into one of the compositions. Roughly 10 or so alarms were dispersed throughout the space, and were activated during the performance by a smoke machine.

Archive of Byron Westbrook/Corridors Live on EVR


Last week, sound artist Byron Westbrook did a live set on Radio Heart.

You can listen to the archive of the show here.

See below for more information about his work. (And here, for a recent interview on the always fantastic Root Blog.)

Interested in the dynamic quality of physical space, and using multi-channel sound, images and objects to inhabit that space, Westbrook has adopted the moniker CORRIDORS for his live performances involving the distribution of processed instrumental and environmental recordings through a multi-channel environment. His installation-based work explores unique and participatory listening formats utilizing common technology. He has presented at venues such as Tonic, Roulette, The Stone, Diapason Gallery, Issue Project Room, Experimental Intermedia, Exit Art Gallery, (NYC), Les Voûtes (FR), Wien Konzerthaus (Austria), O’ (Milano), Cave12 (Geneva), NonEvent (Boston), Sonic Circuits Festival (DC), and Institute of Intermedia (CZ).
