HIP DEEP ANGOLA PART TWO

September 28, 2012

Hip Deep Angola Part 2: Kuduro and Beyond by Afropop Worldwide

Ned Sublette — composer, musician, musicologist, and one of the stars of Vidas Perfectas (which will make its way to Marfa next year) — just released Hip Deep Angola Part Two: 21st Century Urban Angola: Kizomba, Kudiro, Afro-House, and Beyond. The second in his series about Angola, this show focuses entirely on African electronic music. Sublette explains, “Peace came to Angola in 2002 after forty-two years of war, and now everything is different, with construction under way everywhere. The postwar generation of the last ten years communicates via text-messaging and electronic music. The biggest of which is the techno-meets-rap-meets-African-dance style known as kuduro (literally, “hard-ass”).” Check it out. –NI

“A few moments where we can escape from whatever it is that’s causing discomfort in our lives.”

From a Vice interview with Lee Fields, “Lee Fields Is the Coolest Motherfucker to Ever Sing Words Into a Microphone”, where Lee discusses his show:

…I love all of the audience. I look at them not as fans, but as my extended family. It’s a love of mankind — trying to get that moment of euphoria. A few moments where we can escape from whatever it is that’s causing discomfort in our lives. We’re gonna escape. That’s what I’m trying to achieve in the course of that performance, so although we’re in one building, we’re not going anywhere, but we do go somewhere. There’s a small excursion to a place that words cannot describe, and we try to go there for a moment, and although we want to stay there, we can’t stay there long. But that one moment is worth all of the efforts.

Enter the Unified Field

Unified Field Issue 1

A couple weeks ago, the great shop Freda hosted a launch party for the equally great Unified Field and their first issue, which includes a limited-edition vinyl, featuring songs by Bonnie “Prince” Billy (playing a song by Cynthia Hopkins!), Department of Eagles, Robin Pecknold and Amen Dunes, whose “Sixteen (demo)” I have listened to on repeat since I got it (play, pick up needle, back to middle, play, pick up needle, back to middle, etc.). The issue’s now sold out, but Rolling Stone has offered up “Sixteen” as a free download, it’s amazing, go download it, then subscribe to Unified Field for updates on the next issue. –NI

Test Print by Sonnenzimmer

I love these prints from Sonnenzimmer’s test print sale, where you can see the traces of our Marfa Dialogues poster. A test print, according to Sonnenzimmer, is “a term used to describe a single sheet of paper used at the beginning of a print job. These sheets are sent through the press before a job starts, in order to make sure everything is printing properly. Overtime, the prints accumulate layers and layers of art, resulting in colorful patchwork of random images and colors, creating new compositions as a result.” Cool. Sale lasts until September 24. –NI

Great article by Ben Ratliff in the The New York Times about Peter Brötzmann & Jason Adasiewicz, who played last Wednesday at Le Poisson Rouge:

For a while Mr. Adasiewicz, instead of mallets, used cello bows. He drew them up and down along the edges of the bars of the vibraphone, making an icy, chordal, planing sound; he ended the down strokes with a bump, falling on the bars, smacking them with the heels of his hands. Then he held the bow horizontally and began to mash it on the instrument, fiberglass on aluminum, straight across the row of bars or at angles to it, producing clattery tone clusters of different sizes. (He kept the sustain pedal down almost the entire time: in his playing, all sorts of dissonance rings out unapologetically and sticks around for a while.)

It was convincing and strangely beautiful. I’ve never heard those sounds from that instrument, and never seen anybody sweat on it that much.

Peter Brötzmann & Jason Adasiewicz play a free concert for us next Tuesday, September 18, at the Crowley Theater. Doors at 8 pm; show at 8:30 pm. –NI
