Yet more from the Guidonian Hand’s flurry of activity with Eve Beglarian — here’s a great video produced by NPR’s Studio 360 to accompany last week’s radio program. We’re so proud!
A recording of the Guidonian Hand from last week’s performance of music from Eve Beglarian’s “River Project” is currently being broadcast nationwide on the Studio 360 program out of New York!
For details on when the broadcast will reach your neck of the woods, check out Studio 360′s list of participating stations here!
Our intrepid trombone quartet, The Guidonian Hand, performs Eve Beglarian‘s inspiring new “River Project” this Saturday night (Jan. 21) at the Abrons Arts Center in New York City. In what’s sure to be a moving exploration of Beglarian’s impressions of the country’s original slow-moving superhighway, Guidonian hand will perform with violinist Mary Rowell and Loadbang in this first night’s program, “The Night of the Sirens,” (“…in which the harsh sound of a warning alarm in Plaquemine, Louisiana, is electronically deconstructed alongside a plaintive text by Rilke about returning home after a long journey without any words to describe it,” says the Abrons). Subsequent programs on January 27th and 28th include performances by Newspeak, Taylor Levine, and Malcomb J. Merriweather.
“In the autumn of 2009, Beglarian, long an influential New York composer, undertook a kind of personal W.P.A. project—travelling the Mississippi River by bicycle and kayak and absorbing the sights and sounds of Middle America along the way. The result is a three-evening work of “experimental Americana…””
A bit before janus trio‘s recent performance at Masters and Pelavin Gallery in New York, they were visited by Thomas Deneuville from one of our favorite blogs ever, I Care If You Listen. Deneuville sat down for a chat with the trio and talked a bit about their album i am not, the evolution of their performances and rep, and their favorite spots in New York. Click here for the video at ICIYL — we can only hope for more like this from ICIYL (so far there are great posts about composer Kate Moore, videographer and musical experimenter Florent Ghys, and more).
