..turning away from the ecologically destructive path on which humanity is headed requires humility and a

preparedness to change direction in response to the clear signs of impending danger.

Michael Northcott- A MORAL CLIMATE

just a quick note to let you know about upcoming experimental concerts in adelaide.
hope you can spread the word and indeed make it to some of the shows.
we’re proud to be presenting these artists with help from anthony pateras and robin fox’s MIBEM series.
 
thursday march 27: christian pruvost is a young improvising trumpeter from lille.
he gets some very strange sounds of out his instrument, exploring the sonic spectrum from very soft breathing to jolts of ecstatic noise.
supporting him will be free saxophonist derek pascoe, and guitar experimenters scott o’hara and dane hirsinger.
it’s a diverse bill and certainly one worth checking out in the intimate surrounds of gallery de la catessen.
 
thursday april 3: for those of you up for something heavier and more visceral, daniel menche (portland, oregon) will immerse the jade monkey with his ‘physical sound’ approach. menche is a self-taught noise composer, and one of the very best practicioners of the almighty drone.
supporting him will be bitches of zeus, dielikeagod (shaun duncan from white tiger) and portraits (feat. members of space bong). also selections from dj blood sausage. thursday april 3. doors at 9pm. $12 entry.
to those that ’enjoyed’, runelstirn & gurgelstock, dave phillips and wolf eyes, do not miss this.
 
monday april 7: valerio tricoli (palermo, italia) is quite simply a genial artist. he divides his time between his solo works, his improvising quartet 3/4hadbeeneliminated, and engineering albums for dean roberts, autistic daughters, stefanio pilia and andrea belfi. it appears everything he touches turns to gold.
tricoli’s work echoes classic 60s tape music, and includes passages of ethereal free improv and tightly edited noise. highly recommended.
support comes from kynan lawlor and interzone express (daniel varricchio and patrick saracino).
leninsimos82@hotmail.com  for details. 
 
COMING SOON:
chris smith (melbourne: iconic guitar outsider. rare performance)
philip jeck (UK: acclaimed deconstructing turntablist)
alex masso and peter farrar (sydney: fiery free improv duo - drums and sax)
rafael toral (portugal: ’space program’ founder and electronics wiz)

After three successful shows at the Irish Club, Akoustic Odyssey are due to perform at the Wheatsheaf Hotel from 8pm on the Adelaide Cup Holiday on the 10th of March.

Wednesday 5 March 8PM (doors at 7:30)

GENTICORUM (CANADA)

Genticorum are fast becoming one of the most sought-after proponents of Quebecois musical culture, firmly rooted in the soil of their native land. Weaving wooden flute, fiddle, acoustic guitar, jaw harp, bass and foot percussion with strong vocal harmonies, they offer a blend of traditional songs and original compositions.

Their distinctive sound, sense of humour and stage presence make them a supreme crowd pleaser. Since their debut in 2000, Genticorum has forged a solid place for itself on the folk and world music circuit, playing festivals, concerts and dances. Their sophomore album ‘Malins Plaisirs’ (2005, Roues et Archets/Fusion III) won the Canadian Folk Music Award 2005 in the “Best Ensemble” category and was nominated for JUNO (Canada) and Felix (Québec) Awards in 2006. Their songs, with glorious 3 part harmonies, tend to the ribald and amusing. Great music - and great fun! Adults $25 Con $20 Ch $15.

Thursday 6 March 8PM (doors at 7:30)

CECILE CORBEL (FRANCE)

Imagine a red haired Celt from Brittany, with a voice that hovers between Kate Bush (easily reaching those higher registers), the purity of Sinead O Connor and the mysticism of Enya, you’ll have a good idea what this remarkable young harpist, arranger of traditional songs and original songwriter sounds like. Originally playing the guitar, she discovered the Celtic harp in her teens. Concert after concert in Parisian pubs and cafés, she self-produces her album “ Songbook 1” and is soon noticed by the label Keltia Musique (Sinead O’Connor, Loreena Mc Kennit). Her unique harp technique and her appealing young voice, sometimes compared to Kate Bush’s, reveal a world encompassing ancient poems, original compositions, Celtic tunes and Mediterranean melodies. She takes you for a trip out of a time. “Cécile Corbel sings like a nightingale” Libération. Adults $25 Con $20 Ch $15

Wednesday 12 March 8PM (doors at 7:30)

GUY DAVIS (USA)

Like the best early bluesmen, Guy Davis is, at heart, a storyteller. A master at setting intimate, richly nuanced tales to stomping acoustic blues backing, with accompaniment from mandolin, banjo, and accordion, he helped revitalize the state of country blues in the 1990s with a string of critically acclaimed albums. Whether Guy Davis is appearing on ‘Late Night With Conan O’Brien’ or nationally syndicated radio programs such as Garrison Keillor’s, ‘A Prairie Home Companion’, ‘Mountain Stage’ or David Dye’s,’World Café’, in front of 15,000 people on the Main Stage of a major festival, or teaching an intimate gathering of students at a Music Camp, Guy feels the instinctive desire to give each listener his ‘all’. The routes, and roots, of his blues are as diverse as the music form itself. It can be soulful, moaning out a people’s cry, or playful and bouncy as a hay-ride. He’s a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer. But most importantly, Guy Davis is a bluesman. Adults $28 Con $25 Ch $20

Thu and Fri 13 and 14 March 8PM (doors at 7:30)

JEANETTE WORMALD – SONGS OF THE INLAND – Where red Earth and Blue Sky Meet

And especially for the Fringe, Jeanette, backed by a full band, is presenting the show as a multi-media theatrical presentation for the first time, performing her songs against a backdrop of imagery and photographs celebrating inland Australia. Adult $25 Con $22
