Let A Frown Be Your Umbrella: Two evenings celebrating Kranky Records
LPR is proud to present two evenings with Kranky label artists LOSCIL, BENOIT PIOULARD, STEVE HAUSCHILDT & FORMA.
The first evening presents sonorous, Pacific Northwest ambient music with two of its most celebrated composers of slow-motion, beatific sounds: Loscil & Benoît Pioulard. Beyond the notions of passive ornamental embellishment, both performers are sculptors of sonic narrative from the colluvium of ambient music’s rawest materials.
The second night plays host to the evolving field improvisation and non-rock forms. Dismantling both the synthesizer central roles and showmanship in rock music for a larger lexicon of expressive frontiers, theirs is a more variegated and polychromatic realization of these electric instruments and their still undiscovered potential. This is a lissom flexing of the tools of psychedelic and kosmische music into applications wholly mutagenic and hybrid, circuitous and serpentine in their paths away from tradition.
Night 1: November 20 at 9:30 w/ Loscil and Benoît Pioulard
Night 2: November 21 at 9:30 w/ Steve Hauschildt and FORMA
