T.J. Borden

Buffalo, New York experimental cellist and composer T.J. Borden will be appearing tonight at Boheme Collectif as a part of a fantastic bill organized by Future Night’s Mike Kluge. T.J. performed last year at Noa Noa and also on this Theatre Intangible episode.

T.J. is a big proponent of improvisation and extended technique, utilizing every inch of his cello. If you dig string players like Peter Kowald and Thomas Helton, you’ll really love T.J. He’s worked with artists such as Tony Conrad, Steven Mackey, Jack Wright, Evan Lipson, and DJ Spooky. Check out the below video for his duet with Thomas Helton.

Visuals will be provided by the overhead projections of Dig Deep Light Show, who blew minds at Noa Noa last month with their light-led improv.

Also on the bill, another extended-techniquer: guitarist Brady Sharp (who has appeared on all these T.I. episodes).

One of the busiest drummers in Nashville, Tommy Stangroom will be performing a solo experimental set as Posttaste. He’s appeared on these T.I. episodes.

Nashville rock n’ roll frontman T. Rust will collaborate with artist Brains Bailey on drones and projections.

This show is going to be amazing! More info on the Facebook event page.

Here’s are tentative times:

Posttaste: 9-9:30
TJ Borden: 9:45-10:15
Brady Sharp: 10:30-11
T. Rust /Brains Bailey: 11:15-11:4

You should be able to catch Antonio das Mortes at Third Man Light & Sound Machine at 7pm and still be able to see most or all of this show. Hope to see you there!

Sunday at Noa Noa: T.J. Borden, Ypsmael, Lawrence Crow, Steven Dunning

If you still have some steam left after a killer weekend of shows, don’t miss this Sunday show at Noa Noa, featuring New York experimental cello player T.J. Borden. If you like the extended technique of double-bassist and T.I. participant Thomas Helton, then you’ll really dig T.J. At the end of the post, check out the just-published video (and when I say JUST, I mean in the last 5 minutes. I was the first viewer!) of T.J. performing with Steve Ricks and Christian Asplund at Locust Salon. One of the players appears to be bowing a cardboard box!

The dual headliner is Ypsmael, the mixed media project of Cambridge, UK-based German artist N. Ismael M. As his bio reads: “Ypsmael granularly unfurls delicate and atmospheric soundscapes, formed by clouded loop narratives and subtle build-ups of hazy drone swells. Slow-glowing pulses of audio detritus meld into chasms of warm, powdery noise washes and subdued vocals. Ypsmael studies ways to create and devise a personal vocabulary to this eclectic formula, focusing on the textural and cinematic properties of effects-treated vocal layering, field recordings and live instruments (e.g. baritone guitar, bass, piano, melodica, glockenspiel) as a main ingredient for in situ accidentalist composition. Recordings are usually made in one take; live performances are usually free improvisation.”

Hell yes!

Also on the bill are locals Stephen Dunning (experimental violin) and Lawrence Crow (open-source soundscapes).

Because it’s a Sunday, this show will begin promptly at 8pm! More info on the Facebook event page. Full disclosure: I organized this show.

Other great shows this weekend: Friday at Betty’s: Nudity, SAURuS, and Foster Dad. Saturday at Noa Noa: Big Waves of Pretty, Stephen Molyneux, Samuel Steelman, and Promised Land.
