4) Zaimph (Marcia Bassett)
ZAIMPH is the solo project of Marcia Bassett, an artist whose alternately shimmeringly beatific and uncannily intense work has resonated through the underground world. Marcia Bassett is the exterminating and vivifying force who goes beyond boundaries of noise, free drone and dark psychedelia to arrive a place of heavenly radiance and hellish intensity.

Pas Musique presents Ambient-Chaos

Saturday, January 13th.
START TIME 7:30 PM SHARP-END TIME 10 PM. We have four amazing acts with Jim Tuite on live video!
$10-$20 floating scale admission.

Spectrum
70 Flushing Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205

Jim Tuite-Live Video
https://vimeo.com/tumeitejas

Acts in order of appearance below.

1) Isolde Touch
Asha Sheshadri is a multimedia artist out of Southern California and Philadelphia, and Isolde Touch is her solo project. She experiments with computer, voice, text and video synthesis to explore the relationship between sonic and visual. Harsh rhythmic elements are layered with lush vocal counterpoint, illuminating the intersection between the soft and abrasive, the naturally-occurring and machine-generated.

https://soundcloud.com/isolde-touch
www.ashasheshadri.com

2) Pas Musique
Pas Musique started in 1995 out of Brooklyn, NY, USA, driven by the creative talents of Robert L. Pepper working in the mediums of sound and video. Since then Pas Musique has evolved into a collective with many different instrumentations and lineups. Permanent members include Jon Worthley, Michael Durek, Jesse Fairbirn, and Robert Pepper. Guests and occasional collaborators include, Brett Zweiman, David Tamura, Cathy Heyden, Jim Tuite, Brandstifter, Robin Storey, Philippe Petit, ZEV!, HATI, Steve Beresford, Will Seesar, Matt Chilton, Anthony Donovan, Chester Hawkins, and many others.

Pas Musique have numerous releases and collaborations. Pas Musique have performed in 17 countries and all throughout the United States. Sound and video installations have also included Chile and the United States. Pas Musique also curates events in New York such as Experi-MENTAL nights, Ambient-Chaos nights and the Experi-MENTAL Festival once a year.

http://www.pasmusiqe.net/

3) Orakel
Orakel is an electro-acoustic project of Kora/oud player/sound artist, Kane Mathis and tabla player/poet, Roshni Samlal, who began their collaboration at the Brooklyn Raga Massive. Using electronic compositional elements of sound design, field recordings, and drones, synthesized by composer Kane Mathis and writing by Roshni Samlal, they create a newly cinematic context for traditional elements of Indian classical percussion and Kora repertoire.

Both traditions contain philosophies of improvising within rhythmic structures and Orakel explores the ways in which each tradition’s canon is complimentary to the other’s. All of the compositions are based on shifting “taals” or rhythmic cycles found in Indian classical music that mathematically resolve into other cyclical material. The kora adds its own idiomatic rhythmic statements called “kumbengo” to the interaction. Breaks and arrangements draw alternately from both traditions.

https://www.facebook.com/orakelbk/

4) Chester Hawkins (DC)
Chester Hawkins of Washington DC has produced a wide range of experimental music for over thirty years. His long-running project BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT (1985-2013) mixed elements of loop-collage, psychedelic noise, and unpredictable live performances in an attempt to revive the spirit of Dada. Now operating under Hawkins' own name, there is a new emphasis on compositions and soundscape-crafting based on complex harmonic drones and textures. Using a blend of electronics (modular synthesis) and organics (lapsteel guitar, reeds), the result is spacious and cinematic, balancing the pastoral and beatific with the dark and paranoid. If there is a bridge to be found between the sounds of György Ligeti and early Cluster, Hawkins could be it, while not surrendering his own voice to those influences. Releases appear on the imprints Intangible Arts, Zeromoon, and Alrealon Musique.

"One of the more satisfying recordings in recent memory, a deft balancing between ambient experimental music, dark psychedelia, and pulsing Krautrock." - Blurt magazine, on the 2016 "Natural Causes" LP

Robin Storey
http://www.rapoon.org/

"As a visual artist I have long had a great interest in ancient symbols glyphs and runes as I grew up in an area of the UK where these were prevalent and readily visible in pre-historical monuments and ancient architecture.
This joint project with Robert Pepper was conducted with an initial exchange of a number of photographs of where we lived. These photographs were then manipulated and combined in a series of collaged images. These collages formed the basis of the paintings which ensued.
The images are reduced to imaginary symbols and glyphs and organized in an imaginary pictographic manner. Each painting is both individual and part of a wider narrative.
They invite the viewer to their own interpretation."

Robert L. Pepper
http://www.robertlpepper.net/

"All of my life I have been interested in ancient civilizations and esotericism. I believe that the art and beliefs of ancient cultures were influenced by something coming from within themselves. This influence is illustrated through the art and architecture of these cultures. 2 `

A nice review from Slug Magazine

PAS MUSIQUE
INSIDE THE SPECTRUM
Alrealon Musique
Street: 05.12

Pas Musique = Nommo Ogo + Scrambles of Earth + Sindre BjergaInside the Spectrum is 10 collages of morphing, undulating beats, guitar drones, manipulated electronics and acoustic instrumentation that, when put through the blender that is Pas Musique, sound like some terrifying, old-god mating call. Inside the Spectrum takes its cues and inspiration from the final frontier, blending in sampled lectures from physics professors and television edutainment from the Space Age that was still trying to understand and explain all of this new technology. What saves this record from another “interesting” (intellectually engaging but emotionally flat) designation is Pas Musique’s bizarro take on classic house, often allowing a 4/4 beat to ride into infinity while seemingly unaffected by the fuck-all weirdness happening around it. At a BPM right around our natural heartbeat, it makes the incomprehensible seem familiar and easily digestible. This album, with 10 tracks at around four to five minutes each, covers an ungodly amount of musical ground without sacrificing listenability. –Ryan Hall

Title:
"Esoteric Evolution"

Description:
The material world is a facade of commercial illusions that are driven by esoteric principles. We live in a “Disney like world” which mask the real principles which literally shape the world. These principles are described by the teachings of numerous ancient mystery cults such as the Eleusians and the cult of Mithra, as well as Plato and Pythagoris.

Our select artists illustrate these hidden concepts. Some work with the concept of the macrocosm/microcosm (Robin Storey). Some work in the concepts of idolatry and psychological control (Adel Souto). Some work with the concepts of idolatry and psychological control through media, (Leonardo Casas). Some work with the concepts of technology that drive nature (Anne Percoco). Some work with the concepts of sacred geometry (Camille Laoang), Some work with the allegorical meanings behind ancient symbolisms and text (Robert L. Pepper).

Artists:

Adel Souto
Robert L. Pepper
Camille Laoang
Anne Percoco
Leonardo Casas
Robin Storey
Jessica R. Pepper
Ignacia Mesa
Viviana del Valle
Paulo Meyer
Vicente Ibanez
Nicolas Quevedo (Nicolapso)

In Other News:

We are in the final stages of our new Alrealon Musique special edition release titled ‘Inside the Spectrum’ with artwork by Jim Tuite! More details to come.

Greetings children of the universe! Happy Friday to you all!

'The Man With the Bleeding Eyes', although completed in 1998, is Robert L. Pepper's (PAS Musique) first full length fictional publication inspired by many years of horror reading and sound absorption. He has toured musically in 14 countries and has had visual art exhibitions in 5.

'The Man With the Bleeding Eyes' is a story about living physically in ones dreams or nightmares. A trio of characters delve into the occult sciences and get trapped into a spell that imprisons them between the dream world and reality. 'The Man With the Bleeding Eyes', is inspired by authors like Arthur Machen, Gustav Meyrink, and H.P. Lovecraft.

Trapped in a world of dreams with no escape. Under a spell that can't be broken, visions of another world or are they real? "There are some people that choose to live by other means, besides life in the natural, physical world and in all of its habitations. They wander and travel to many exotic places to find what they are searching for. This text is about these few individuals who traveled to the land behind the sun, or the land of the physical state of dreams." "Death to the Moon! Forever Reign the Sun!" Lucian

Scheduled acts:

(CIE) Composers Inside Electronics - John Driscoll, Phil Edelstein, Robert L. Pepper, and Matt Wellins

COMPOSERS INSIDE ELECTRONICS

(CIE) is a group of composer/performers dedicated to the composition and live collaborative performance of electronic and electro-acoustic music using both software and circuitry designed and constructed by individual composers. CIE members also create interactive sound installations.

The group was formed in 1973 with David Tudor and is known for its pioneering use of original live electronics for both performance and installations, including David Tudor’s Rainforest project. The current members include founders John Driscoll and Phil Edelstein along with Tom Hamilton, Matt Rogalsky, and Doug Van Nort, and include guest performers.

An ongoing commitment to collaborative performance of new individual and group works is central to CIE’s evolution. The group’s work includes the use of: custom-built software instruments, resonant sculptural instruments, rotating and focused loudspeaker systems and ultrasonic instruments with an emphasis on creating a rich sonic architecture. Numerous works utilize the resonant character of the performance spaces as instruments.

The group specializes in performances and installations that focus on the integration of theatrical and musical elements. CIE is currently offering a range of performance works as well as short and long-term sound installations.

A recent review of 'Flanked By Women and Pumpkns'

http://www.traumbaum.de/ru/component/content/article/67388-pas-flanked-by-women-and-pumpkins.html

Review From Traumbaum: "Brooklyn’s PAS need little introduction, particularly if you make an initial judgement based on the album’s title. Expect the strange and be rewarded. PAS thrive, if not solely exist on the experimental and convention is abandoned when it comes to track structures and themes. But, it would be irresponsible to suggest that such avant-garde output isn't listenable. From the off, the odd loops, sound effects and noises are stimulating, deliberately designed to trigger a range of sensations both emotionally and physically. Some of the noises can be industrial or organic and as an art house installation, it’s incredibly effective. Beneath it all though, is an anarchic sense of mischievousness – 70’s and 80’s new experimentalism is written large throughout and the disturbing threads of new age alternative electronic sounds of Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide and Nitzer Ebb may not be prevalent, but they are here in spirit. ‘Inner Ear Echo Imbalance’ sounds like a cunning combination of ACR and The Prodigy spun backwards, but it is astoundingly efficient in stimulating the symptoms of the track title. The rousing cinematic closure of “Incredible Day For Natives”, sets itself apart from the sound track so far, but it is built on exactly the same formula and techniques of the preceding numbers. Long live experimentation and the destruction of all recognised musical structures ! and along with PAS lets celebrate the bending of all barriers. "

Reviews:

A nice review of 'Flanked By Women and Pumpkins', on Alrealon Musique.
http://terrascope.co.uk/Reviews/Rumbles_January_13.htm

PAS are a quartet of exploratory musicians whose aim is to make musical collages from a wide variety of sources: instruments, found sounds, natural recordings. The music is amorphous, ever-changing, occasionally offputting, sometimes glorious. As the band themselves admit, the music here is more by way of soundscape than song, and this is certainly true of the opening three cuts.'Volker Goes To Spain' however achieves a notable impact through its choice of synth sounds and natural recordings - dark and eerie in the extreme - while 'Vacationing Beat' brings crickets to an otherworldly drone and some very glitchy beats. I also liked 'Sonic Sleighride Through Coalmines' which is perhaps the track on the album that most conjures up definite mental images; a kind of gothic railway ride underground. 'The Dramatic Exit' concludes events with piano, synths and mysterious background sounds. As with all music like this, the key question is, has the band achieved an original sound through its constituent parts? PAS certainly have, and there are more hits than misses on this menagerie of electro-acoustic trips.

Portrait of a Soul: Performance Nite

Oct 15, 2011 - 5PM
NURTUREart Gallery, 910 Grand Street, Brooklyn NY Phone:718-782-775

Portrait of a Soul is a religious exhibition hoping to depict the moment when spiritual energy is transmitted through visual artwork — articulately laying bare the lyrical moment in which god and artist are engaged in the same creative act. These performances will be a companion to the show, aural instead of visual but constructed with the same interest in spiritual transmission.

Click Here: Reconstruction [Alrealon Music]

http://www.beatport.com/#release/reconstruction/321496

RELEASE DATE
2011-01-15
LABEL Alrealon Music
CATALOG #ALRN023

Goal: To have Alrealon artists submit tracks to PAS and have PAS sculpt the Alrealon artists tracks into reconstructed soundscapes. Each artist track will have it's own unique mixing techinique. For example: A drum loop may go for a five minute segment with PAS playing along it for five minutes BUT another track can be broken down into segments creating a collage with PAS samples. Yet another track can be stripped down to a certain frequency changing completely but influencing how PAS compliments the track. The goal is to create a complete variety of a release with outside influences challenging the current PAS formula ad in return PAS will try to reach a unique sound for each artist. Theme: To get away from ego and concentrate on the concept of unity and positive creative influence., reconstructing ones regular music routines and letting go. Thoughts (music) can be developed into different directions where they would never particularly go. http://www.myspace.com/pas-music
