[microsound] event in nyc this friday



i thought this might be of interest here, considering the live 
computer processing and experimental nature of the first band.


FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17

GRANDVIEW GRAMMAR [10pm]
Electroacoustic project with a shifting cast of collaborators formed 
by Shannon Fields and Ryan Smith, members of avant-folk ensemble 
Stars Like Fleas. The group employs acoustic guitar/preparations, 
piano, minimal electronics, toys and live instrument processing. 
Musical investigations tend toward the glacial, quiet, reverential, 
and oblique while simultaneously and explicitly embracing tonality, 
traditional or sacred harmonies,and love letters to vicious sonic 
ugly ducklings. GG isolates and elevates textural minimalism above 
ambience and beyond pure abstraction until the smallest marks create 
a sort of warm, organic and devotional counterpoint Equal parts 
Microstoria, Erik Satie, Morton Feldman, and Kevin Drumm.

AKRON/FAMILY (Young God Records) [11pm]
Soaring Post-Rock with vocal harmonies and electric gizmos.

DREAM INTO DUST [12mid]
Melancholy folk punctuated by textured noise and electronics. 
Plaintive tenor vocals and bruised acoustic guitar are framed with 
percussion samples, live looping, effected bass, and waves of 
harmonics.
