Recording: Donkey Lopez

Artist: Donkey Lopez [Ray Dillard / Steven Lederman / Stuart Ross]

Song: This and That [from "Aurealities" by Paul Dutton]

Recorded at Supermarket ("Celebrate Paul Dutton at 70"), March 4, 2014.

Donkey Lopez - This and That

Full review to follow. More than just a birthday party, this event was planned as a tribute to Paul Dutton's "four decades of challenging the borders of literature and music". I mostly know him from his excursions in the latter realm, so it was interesting to hear the musical stuff freely mixed in among readings and reinterpretations from his poems and prose. (I did not know that Dutton had written a novel, but I left with a copy of Several Women Dancing.) Not that there's a hard boundary between those two fields, given that they're both based around the free expressiveness and infinite variability of the human voice.

This performance brought together those distinctive speech rhythms with a stage full of miscellaneous percussion implements and electronics (including, I do believe, a Speak and Spell).

Recording: Jean-Pierre Drouet

Artist: Jean-Pierre Drouet

Song: Toucher [composer: Vinko Globokar]

Recorded at Elizabeth Beeton Auditorium, Toronto Reference Library ("New Music 101"), March 3, 2014.

Jean-Pierre Drouet - Toucher

Once again, many of the city's New Music organizations are banding together for some outreach and edutainment under the banner of "New Music 101", a free series Monday nights at the Reference Library. Each instalment sees two groups take some time to give some insight into how they're making music, usually accompanied by a stripped-down performance. There's one more left on March 17th, as well as a bonus remounting of this week's interactive presentation from Soundstreams and Spectrum (on May 28th at Fort York Library Branch).

The first night in this year's series saw junctQín keyboard collective talking about taking their music beyond the piano as well as New Music Concerts presenting avant-garde percussionist and composer Jean-Pierre Drouet. A practitioner of "instrumental theatre" (mixing music with a theatrical flair that featured hints of slight-of-hand trickery) Drouet also showed how fingers playing percussion could evoke the sounds of the human voice in this piece adapted from Brecht's Life of Galileo, with different instrumental sounds slowly taking over for various phonemes.

Recording: Prince Enoki's Insect Orchestra

Artist: Prince Enoki's Insect Orchestra

Song: Dragonflies

Recorded at The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge), March 1, 2014.

Prince Enoki's Insect Orchestra - Dragonflies

Full review to follow. Scott Peterson's "Afro-Tuvan-Space-Jazz ensemble" only makes occasional intersections with our plane of existence, but it remains a groovy thing to behold: an entire rainforest of musical creatures dancing together, from the bullfrog tuba to the butterfly flute. For the record, personnel at this juncture includes Scott Peterson (double bass, voice), Eric Woolston (drums), Peter Lutek (clarinet), Jay Hay (sax, flute), Tom Richards (tuba), Colin Fisher (guit), Isla Craig (voice), Jay Anderson (percussion) and Brandon Valdivia (percussion).

Recording: Mas Aya

Artist: Mas Aya

Song: Solidarity Song

Recorded at The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge), March 1, 2014.

Mas Aya - Solidarity Song

Full review to follow. This new jam, based around a funky little casiotone loop is dedicated to the Elsipogtog women who led the blockade against fracking in their community in New Brunswick.

Concert Listings Roundup #35

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.


Gig of the week:

Optical Sounds' Psych Pop Vol. 2 Release Party (feat. B-17 / Tess Parks / The BB Guns / The Auras / Prince Ness / Sun Stone Revolvers / Mimico / The Disraelis) / The Great Hall 2014-03-15 (Saturday) [FB event]

A musician friend I ran into the other day made the offhand comment how good this long, cold winter was for guys like him — extra time to write/rehearse/record, creative work taking place away from the stages and bars. Well, it's been a bit like that for Optical Sounds in the past while, with fewer big parties, but a lot of activity taking place behind the scenes. Proof of that can be found in the smokin' new compilation of the label's bands and fellow travellers. As the weather heats up, expect to see/hear more from a lot of these folks — and like a promise of spring's creative blooming that's just around the corner, the seeds of the OS community's flower flowers will gather at The Great Hall on Saturday night for a massive banger. Not to be missed!

Recording: The Beverleys

Artist: The Beverleys

Song: Bad Company

Recorded at Sneaky Dee's, February 28, 2014.

The Beverleys - Bad Company

Full review to follow. It took a little longer than anticipated, but the wait for the Bevs' first EP was well worth it. Their set included a nice stack of as-yet-unreleased songs, too, so there's gonna be more to come beyond this three-song blast. In the meantime, now with a tape to their name the band will be taking their tunes beyond the city.

Recording: Mexican Slang

Artist: Mexican Slang

Song: Fever

Recorded at Sneaky Dee's, February 28, 2014.

Mexican Slang - Fever

Full review to follow. Running, as it does, in a counter-cyclical manner to the city's current good times for music, I don't get much cause these days to head up to Sneaky Dee's, but there's still a bit o' fondness in my heart for the joint. And on this night, a Buzz Records party to celebrate the release of The Beverleys' new EP brought quick snappy sets to go along with the still-pleasingly-cheap drinks. It'd been just a couple weeks since I saw Mexican Slang, but seeing as they're really nailing it right now I was glad to catch 'em again. Twenty minutes of sweet, noisy pop from Annabelle Lee (t-shirt slogan: "BORN A BAD SEED") and co. are a teaser for what should be a kick-ass forthcoming full-band EP.

[Mexican Slang will be opening for Hellshovel at The Garrison on April 9, 2014.]

Recording: Michelle McAdorey

Artist: Michelle McAdorey

Song: Disappearing Things

Recorded at The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge), February 28, 2014.

Michelle McAdorey - Disappearing Things

Full review to follow. Closing out a month of Fridays at The Tranzac, McAdorey's new songs and new band were in fine form. Over the course of the month, the shows had gotten so packed that there was simply no room to mount a planned visual element with some projections adding to the mood. Look for that to be rectified, as this is definitely bound for a a bigger room soon — hopefully in conjunction with a chance to celebrate what is now a highly-anticipated album.

Recording: Mark Segger Sextet

Artist: Mark Segger Sextet

Song: My Dog Has Fleas

Recorded at The Tranzac - Main Hall ("The Second Annual Somewhere There Creative Music Festival" - Show 4), February 23, 2014.

Mark Segger Sextet - My Dog Has Fleas

Full review to follow. Interesting compositions from drummer Mark Segger ranged from stabby to jazzy to skronky, nicely fleshed-out by Rob Clutton (bass), Tania Gill (piano). Jim Lewis (trumpet). Peter Lutek (woodwinds) and Heather Segger (trombone). And a fine end to a very well-executed festival, which should be noted for its community-building, history-respecting yet still right-in-the-moment vibe.

Recording: Fleshtone Aura & Mandelbrut

Artist: Fleshtone Aura & Mandelbrut

Song: [excerpt]

Recorded at The Tranzac - Main Hall ("The Second Annual Somewhere There Creative Music Festival" - Show 5), February 23, 2014.

Fleshtone Aura & Mandelbrut - [excerpt]

Full review to follow. Joined by Luis Hernandez (a.k.a. Mandelbrut), this set had a bit less of a performance art/theatrical edge than Andrew Zukerman brings to his Fleshtone Aura sets. In its place was a sonic clash that set two streams of tape loops, junk instruments and found-sound bricolage bouncing off each other, generating patches of noise and pools of silence. Glad to see this in the festival as a reminder that "DIY noise rock" and "creative electroacoustic improvisation" aren't so far apart.

Recording: Cluttertones

Artist: Cluttertones

Song: Webbed

Recorded at The Tranzac - Main Hall ("The Second Annual Somewhere There Creative Music Festival" - Show 5), February 23, 2014.

Cluttertones - Webbed

Full review to follow. This ensemble's name makes more sense as a testament to double bassist Rob Clutton than as a stylistic declaration. In fact, though there was a bit of artfully-distributed noodling here, the most striking element was the range of textures that the versatile band would explore. Besides Clutton and Lina Allemano on trumpet, Ryan Driver switched between analog synth and piano (and did some singing to boot) while Tim Posgate added guitar and banjo.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014

Recording: Simeon Abbott & Mike Gennaro

Artist: Simeon Abbott & Mike Gennaro

Song: [excerpt from an improvization]

Recorded at The Tranzac - Main Hall ("The Second Annual Somewhere There Creative Music Festival" - Show 4), February 23, 2014.

Simeon Abbott & Mike Gennaro - [excerpt]

Full review to follow. Mike Gennaro brings a strong physicality to his work behind the kit, eyes squeezed tightly shut as if he were causing the clatter around him by telekinesis. For this set, he was matched blow-for-blow by Simeon Abbott's piano work. This was aggressive stuff, sometimes sounding more like a tug-of-war than a dance, and an interesting counter to some of the festival's more genteel improvisations.

Recording: King Weather

Artist: King Weather

Song: [first piece]

Recorded at The Tranzac - Main Hall (The Second Annual Somewhere There Creative Music Festival - Show 4), February 23, 2014.

King Weather - [first piece]

Full review to follow. Confined to a twenty minute mini-set, percussionist D. Alex Meeks and Steve Ward gave a sort of sketchbook version of King Weather. Given time to stretch out, they prefer to let ideas build up and unpack themselves a little more fully, but this still showed off the ingenious layering that Ward can achieve with just a trombone and a basic loop pedal. You can see them at The Tranzac on the last Sunday of every month — and rumour has it there'll be some other cool opportunities to hear them otherwise.
