Shaking Ray Levis Quartet (Amanda Cagle, Dennis Palmer, Bob Stagner, Davey Williams)(Chattanooga)
THE SHAKING RAY LEVIS (founded in 1986) is an ongoing collaboration of musicians with a common interest in improvisation. The project was conceived and led by the Chattanooga-based team of DENNIS PALMER and BOB STAGNER. They use synthesizers (analog & digital), MoogerFoogers, samplers, vocals and percussion to achieve their Ole' Timey Avant-Garde sound.
They are the first American group to have recorded for INCUS RECORDS, the record label of British guitarist DEREK BAILEY. Additionally, they have performed and recorded with REVEREND HOWARD FINSTER, MIN TANAKA, DAVID GREENBERGER, FRED FRITH, AMY DENIO, JOHN ZORN, BORBETOMAGUS, TOM CORA, STEVE BERESFORD, J.D. PARRAN, FRANK PAHL, LADONNA SMITH, DAVEY WILLIAMS, GINO ROBAIR, ROGER TURNER, EUGENE CHADBOURNE, TONY OXLEY and Derek Bailey, as well as with many other critically acclaimed artists.
Good Noise Bad Noise are a loose collective of improvising musicians, sound artists and video artists based in South Cumbria and Sheffield, UK. They play a mixture of electroacoustic music and drone based free improvisation mixing processed field recordings on laptops with live violin and live visuals.
The group was started by Shaun Blezard & John Hall as a laptop duo as a break from their respective solo projects (Shaun with Clutter & John with The Cardboard Lung with the current line up also featuring Neil Woodall on Violin and Dan Gibson supplying live visuals.
Duet for Theremin and Lap Steel is Scott Burland (theremin) and Frank Schultz (lap steel). Scott and
Frank have been long time friends, but have only recently come together to combine the sounds of
these two non fixed pitch instruments.
Their name describes the instrumentation in exactly the way it does not give you the full spectrum of what sonic sundries they impart, open with rich textures, swooning collages, and hypnotic pulses, like a warm bath in the aural abyss. In addition, their approach is sure to irritate the purists,
as they both have taken many liberties with the traditional style of their respective instruments.
All performances are improvised.
