Tip! Benjamin Bennett has worked as an improvising percussionist for 10 years, touring North America and Europe as a soloist, in various ensembles, and ad-hoc collaborations. He developed a unique approach to percussion which took the lineage of free-jazz, free-improvisation, Berlin reductionism, and extended technique playing as its foundation. In searching for an expanded sonic palette, and more fluid movement between various techniques, he distilled the drumset into a small collection of drum…
For Those Who Wish to Sing Will Always Find a Song
One night, not too long ago at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Ryan Sawyer introduced his piece, “For Those Who Wish to Sing, Will Always Find a Song.” He invited the audience to sing along at any point they felt moved to, “just abstract ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs,’ or ‘oms,’ or whatever.” The small stage was crowded with musicians – The Shaker Ensemble – which that night included Jessica Pavone on viola, Nate Wooley on trumpet, Laura Cocks on flute, Stuart Bogie on clarinet, cellist Lester St. Loui…

Medusa
Dead Janitor is the alter-ego for Slovak electronic technician Braňo Findrik. Over the past decade, he has steadily produced a series of digital releases leading to his debut Medusa LP for Urbsounds. With an arsenal of pixelated breakbeats and stuttering samples, Dead Janitor presents an adventurous form of polymetric electronica, echoing the complex IDM explorations of the pioneering work of Aphex Twin and Autechre. Medusa is an apt title for the album that hybridizes digital and analogue techn…

The Oracle
Composer, clarinetist, singer and spiritual jazz soothsayer Angel Bat Dawid descended on Chicago's jazz and improvised music scene just a few years ago. In very short time, the potency, prowess, spirit and charisma of her cosmic musical proselytizing has taken her from relatively unknown improviser to borderline ubiquitous performer in Chicago's avant-garde. On any given night you can find Angel adding aura to ensembles led by Ben LaMar Gay, or Damon Locks, or Jaimie Branch, or Matthew Lux, or e…

Duvet
In the winter of 2023, Ingri Høyland and Ida Urd retreated to a Danish sommerhus, or summer house—the tiny, tidy shacks that are a central feature of the national culture, where for generations, Danes have whiled away the warm months with their families. Picture the scene: an abiding quiet all around. Gardens carpeted by snow; beach grass silvery against the silvery sky; a tendril of smoke rising from the chimney. Not another soul in earshot. This sanctuary was the origin for Høyland and Urd’s D…

He performed at dances and in schools, and also participated in the Suistamo kantele and runosong competitions in 1911.
In the summers of 1916 and 1917, the young folk music researcher Armas …
Hamas Cinema Gaza Strip
In the vast and uncompromising catalog of Muslimgauze, certain works stand as crystalline statements of Bryn Jones's singular vision—albums that distill decades of political engagement and sonic exploration into their most essential form.

Dead Right
Officer!, an English interjection used to address a police officer, a "bobby" in London, to ask for directions, information, or help. And perhaps, since the 1980s, this word might have taken on a certain authority, aggression, with several exclamation points against these increasingly repressive police forces, under the yoke of the various political regimes of the English right wing (the Torries), an era begun by Mrs. Thatcher, the unstoppable Margaret, who left her mark on her time, her society…
