This show is one for the books and a must see for any experimental music fan. Peter Brötzmann and Paal Nilssen-Love Duo will be performing tonight at the Secret Society thanks to Portland's Creative Music Guild. There's isn't anything I can say about Brötzmann that hasn't already be said. So this post is strictly to promote the event. See you tonight.
Last night the Creative Music Guild hosted their twice-monthly Outset Series at Revival Drum Shop. Before the show it was announced that German, free-improv iconPeter Brötzmann will be playing Portland on November, 17. Playing as a duo Joe Cunningham and Reed Wallsmith (of Blue Cranes, and Battle Hymns & Gardens) performed a set that contained an ocarina, utilized plastic wrappers as percussion pieces, and the bells of their saxophones placed together during their fiery conclusion (pictured above). Following Cunningham and Wallsmith was the project Ifsh by Ryan Steuwe of Eat. Offering a droned-out, spontaneously combustible set of sounds and samples; his work felt as much analog as it did electronic.
Writings about different albums primarily from the 1960s of the avant-garde. However, I may touch on titles pertaining to bop, hard-bop, soul jazz and post bop, as well as contemporary avant-garde releases.
