Blixa
Bargeld's Solo Concert
short description
In
his one man performance, Blixa Bargeld
explores the boundaries of language
and music. The audience bears witness
to the metamorphosis of sentences,
words and syllables into acoustic
architecture, resounding spheres and
cacophonous monstrosities.
The equipment used is reduced to a
minimum: microphones, effect equipment
and foot pedals, monitor boxes and
two loud speakers, and a mixing panel
with Boris Wilsdorf at the controls
opposite the stage. That's all that
Blixa Bargeld needs in order to produce
a complex sound texture from a simple
sentence or mere word with the possibilities
of his voice alone.
At the beginning the technical apparatus
is briefly explained and demonstrated;
the improvisation process then becomes
transparent within its definite structure.
There appear to be no secrets. The
intelligent entertainment in which
Blixa Bargeld's listeners become entangled
however, develops amazing dynamism
and intensity. A peak into the laboratory
of a vocal alchemist.
Jarboe’s direction with her recorded
and performed projects leads towards
producing a brand of energy specifically
her own. Her delivery can be at turns
innocent, knowing, seductive, &
vitriolic - contained in melodic as
well as experimental compositions.
A primary objective for Jarboe is
to close in on the gap in the audience/performer
relationship via complete submission
and vicarious experience through her
performance. This is at times done
through visceral vocals and music
from a variety of cultures and sound
vignettes. She has optimized her repertoire
to include a vast variety of voices
from the shy schoolgirl to seductress
to demon. Jarboe’s private agenda
over the course of her life has been
to fine tune endurance - physical,
emotional, and spiritual. Through
efforts in such disciplines as weight-lifting,
kick boxing, mountain-climbing, running,
role-playing, studies
in meditation and Buddhism, and her
intense work with Swans, she has journeyed
her body towards exhaustion specifically
with the intent of rebuilding / reinventing
identity and exploring the structure
of persona. Jarboe’s musical
explorations have led to select comparisons
to other female musicians with regard
for their success in penetrating the
otherwise male-dominated “rock”
subculture
Jarboe's
inspiration is drawn from a variety of charged
sources, spanning from her early exposure
to snake-handling revivals in the Mississippi
delta,
to parents who were in the FBI, to participation
in a lounge act, experimental performance
in gallery & live radio settings, and
her 14-year collaboration with worldwide
concerts (clubs, theaters, festivals, live
radio, European television) and critically
acclaimed recordings in Swans.
Featured prominently in Andrea Juno’s
groundbreaking book: Angry Women In Rock,
and Adele Olivia Gladwell’s women’s
studies/cultural theory: Catamania,
Recent
live performances have included tours with
the Italian avant-garde group, Larsen and
the American rock group,Neurosis as well
as The Living Jarboe performances in the
Baltic region, which included performances
in cathedrals. In 2005, an East Coast tour
of intense performance pieces involved the
renowned San Francisco band, Amber Asylum.
A sampling of the eclectic roster of Jarboe’s
musical collaborators includes: Michael
Gira, Bill Laswell, Jim Thirlwell, Lustmord,
PanSonic, Mark Spybey, Steven
Severin, James Izzo, Chris Connelly, Alan
Sparhawk, Neurosis, Edward KaSpel, William
Faith, David J, David Torn, Paz Lenchantin,
Bill Rieflin, Iva Davies, Blixa Bargeld,
Kris Force, Nic Le Ban, Julia Kent, Brian
Castillo, Renee Nelson, and Lary Seven.
She has worked with visual artists in design
/ film / photography including: Richard
Kern, Beth B, Laura Levine, Wim Van De Hulst,
Cedric Victor-DeSouza, and music video
director Chad Rullman. As an “ internet
pioneer, “ Jarboe was an invited panelist
on “Artists and the Internet”
at the CMJ convention in NYC. Jarboe has
released 9 solo albums in addition to working
on 20+ Swans
albums and 60+ collaborative projects with
visual & sound artists all over the
world. Her cd, Disburden Disciple contained
material she recorded in the Middle East.
The Conduit is a collaboration between Jarboe,
poet Joshua Fraser, guitarist Nic Le Ban,
and her "Living Rumor" Internet
subscriber list. Knight Of Swords / The
Beggar is a limited edition project with
Nic Le Ban ( October 2005 ). The Men Album
( October 2005 )
features a diverse global selection of vocalists
/ musicians / producers. In progress is
: a collaboration with (core Dysrhythmia
members) Byla, and The Living Jarboe European
and U.S. concerts.
"Some
view [F-SPACE's CD] PIR as the statement
Savage Republic never made: a vivid portrayal
of destruction, beauty, and simplicity"
- East Bay Express, August 2004

Last F-SPACE Performance - SF, Sept 17,
2005
Camped in
the vicinity of SAVAGE REPUBLIC, EINSTURZENDE

ACID MOTHER'S TEMPLE, SWANS
and GLENN BRANCA.
"Surprisingly
accessible, violently passionate, harmonic
noisescapes -- delivered with sonic intricacy
and homicidal tendencies."
"
The result conjures an apocalyptic, feral,
destructive trance state implying a catastrophic
act of nature, a march through the desert
on the path to war, or an offender's mental
state during a crime of passion."
-
Camille Taiara, San Francisco Bay Guardian,
2003
A rising blaze of distorted calm quickly washes
over you. Then a sudden drop to nothing 42
seconds later as track two begins. A sense
of discomfort rises as a bow begins to scrape
across tortured strings, and a distorted voice
speaks something I'm not able to intercept.
I'm reminded of the near-complete absence
of music found in a King Crimson interlude.
At 2:50 a tribal drum beat begins. Growing
intensity follows, brought on by repetition
and free-form sonic interpretation. At 6:30
I check the name – Through the Night
Softly, 17:29.
As
per their website, the goal of F-Space is
to devise "an apocalyptic, feral, destructive
trance state implying a catastrophic act
of nature, a march through the desert on
the path to war, or an offender's mental
state during a crime of passion." With
Preliminary Impact Report, I'm off on a
journey that I find necessary to experience.
San
Francisco's F-Space consists of Scot Jenerik
and Ethan Port of Savage Republic, Aleph
Kali of Chrome, and Joel Connell of Man
is the Bastard. Their short description
is Industrial Pyro Punk. Noise and instruments
abound, some of which they have created
themselves. F-Space was originally a collective
that eventually took a more band-like structure.
They won over the Burning Man Festival in
1998 with their bombastic live show, largely
consisting of percussive passages and primal
pyrotechnics.
Released
in late 2004, Preliminary Impact Report
is the first studio album from F-Space.
The track "Sans Soleil" has a
Sonic Youth sound reminiscent of their mid-80s
Evol period. "Bombay Blood" has
a Middle-Eastern feel. "Charity and
Hope," in my opinion the highlight
of the album, begins resembling the apocalyptic
soundscapes of Times of Grace-period Neurosis,
then returns again to echoes of old Sonic
Youth in its guitar-driven build to increasing
intensity. Towards the end of the nearly
23-minute long track, the group's signature
percussion sounds are featured in a crushing
battery, and the melodic backing of a single
distorted guitar joins the cacophony to
move the piece to completion.
F-Space
loses some power in the translation to a
studio, but Preliminary Impact Report still
possesses a lot of intensity. I'm not sure
when the best time would be to listen to
it. The lengths of the compositions make
it difficult to maintain enough anguish
to take it all in, but it does seem to have
a therapeutic quality to it. When I became
depressed as a teenager, I immersed myself
in depressing music until the density of
it forced me back up to the surface. Perhaps
when you are trapped in patterns of anguished
thoughts, Preliminary Impact Report can
help remind you that there is a better world
out there covered up by frustrated thoughts,
and that just like the album, they will
end.

"I caught F-Space at their show in
South San Francisco a bit over a month ago.
i was there to see Babyland perform and
was wiped out by these guys playing what
looked like a Coleman gas grill. And the
music was intense!"

SIXTeeNS
SIXTEENS
is Kristen Louise and Veuve Pauli, with
the occasional appearance of guest musicians,
performance artists, photographers, projectionists.
Originally based in San Francisco, in the
last two years' energetic concentration
they have become an international band with
a support base in Spain, Italy, France,
Germany, U.K., Poland, Holland, U.S.A.,
not to mention other countries where they
have yet to project.
Their supporters span a broad range of the
post punk musical spectrum. Electro, Deathrock,
Synth punk/pop, Minimal electronic, Art
damaged, Darkwave, Gothic, Bored E.B. Mers,
early eighties casualties, and Indie rockers.
After touring
Europe twice in the last year (2004-2005)
they are now based in Berlin. Their music
has the character of a nicely composed collage
where one can see
the jagged
scissor marks along the edges of transposed
magazine paper.
SAVAGE
REPUBLIC

later BURNING MAN events. The lineup for
this reunion is the second generation core
repbulic of
THOM FUHRMANN, GREG GRUNKE and ETHAN PORT,
with STERLING FOX on drums (FINAL REPUBLIC
/ WONDER / MOTORMOUTH), performing tracks
from all 4 studio albums, plus some new
material.
