VROOOM #76

┆ORQUESTA DEL TIEMPO PERDIDO
┆MARK MORGAN (ex- SIGHTINGS)   
┆GAUTE GRANLI

location: Klooster Oude Noorden – Ruivenstraat 81, Rotterdam
doors: 20:30 end: 23:00 / entrance: 7 euro
facebook event


This night we're hosting the seven-piece (!) band of Jeroen Kimman. They will play a unique live concert that owes more to Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota, and the experimentalism of early studio pioneers such as The Three Suns, Les Baxter and Martin Denny, than to other contemporary attempts at eclecticism. Next to that there's engaging solo sets by ex- Sightings Mark Morgan, and Gaute Granli. Another edition chock-full of idiosyncratic, GREAT music!

┆ORQUESTA DEL TIEMPO PERDIDO┆int'l
Orquesta Del Tiempo Perdido is the brainchild of musician and composer Jeroen Kimman. The music of this ambitious project is an eclectic, ‘post- everything’ amalgam, taking on aspects of contemporary classical music, jazz, experimental electro-acoustic, math-rock, pop, non-Western folklore, exotica and vaudeville. The points of reference are deftly approached on their own terms, and recontextualised in impossible composites. While playing most of the instruments of the Orquesta on the acclaimed "Stille" release on Shhpuma, Kinman rounded up some of Netherland’s most creative musicians, not only for the album but also for this unique live show at Vrooom!
• Onno Govaert – timbales & glockenspiel
• Salvoandrea Lucifora ­– sousafoon & trombone
• Mark Morse – lapsteel & field recordings
• Floris van Bergeijk – synth
• Tristan Renfrow: – drums
• Jasper Stadhouders – bass & guitar
• Jeroen Kimman – guitar

┆MARK MORGAN┆us
Mark Morgan is mostly known as the guitarist and singer of Sightings, the New York City based avant rockers that existed from 1998 to 2013. This trio was described as a band exploring the outer reaches of sound by The Wire, Village Voice and Pitchfork among others. They released 10 full-length albums on Load, Ecstatic Peace, Fusetron and Dais, in addition to a few 7" singles. They extensively toured the US, Canada, Europe and Japan. Morgan also collaborated with No Neck Blues Band member Pat Murano in Key of Shame which released two separate albums on Italian labels Planam and Holidays. Morgan’s most recent release is his first solo guitar record Department of Heraldry released on Bill Nace’s Open Mouth.

┆GAUTE GRANLI┆no
Gaute Granli’s solo project has been his main musical output for the past five years where he explores a range of abstract and bizarre territories. He combines chanting, guitar, a range of effects with analog sampling and creates a dark and industrial sound. The music is freely improvised as well as composed. He's got two cassette albums out on Skussmaal: "Velkommen til Forus" and "Ingen Potetsekk Whatsoever". His third solo album is an LP/CD called "Animalskt", released in 2017 on Drid Machine Records and Unhinged. Drid Machine Records has also released a split vinyl with Gaute Granli and Clifford Torus.

Vrooom #75: Instruments Make Play on tour

┆JASNA VELIČKOVIĆ & ANTON MOBIN
┆CALUM STERLING
┆CHRIS MEIGHAN

location: Wijnbar Koffie & Ambacht – Ebenhaëzerstraat 52A, Rotterdam
doors: 20:30 end: 23:00 / entrance: 7 euro

Tonight's Vrooom event is an Instruments Make Play (see for more info below) festival spin-off with mindblowing performances from Jasna Veličković, Anton Mobin, Calum Stirling, and Chris Meighan. These performances are part of a small tour which also includes shows in Amsterdam (Oct 4 @ De Fabriek Volkskamer) and Deventer (Oct 6 @ Kunstenlab).

┆JASNA VELIČKOVIĆ & ANTON MOBIN┆rs/fr
Jasna and Anton first met at WORM last December during the Instruments Make Play festival, where they demonstrated their own creations; Jasna’s Velicon and Anton’s Prepared Chamber. Since then, it obviously made sense for them to start working together as a duo, as their approach to the instruments seemed complementary and the aesthetics they each develop in their music could offer an innovative new musical form.

┆CALUM STIRLING┆sct
Calum Stirling's multidisciplinary art practice includes sculpture, sound, moving image and architectural intervention. He will be bringing his own developed, self-built Remote Village aka The Frolicsome Engines with him. This 64-channel electromechanical sound orchestra is part drum machine, part lo-fi sequencer that plays compositions with magnetic pedals on re-used musical instruments, children's toys and workplace waste. From angular staccato to loose swing, Calum's machine plays beats that are infected by the mechanical peculiarities and limitations of the unique construction of this machine. It's like a bastardization of a traditional fairground organ that tries to replicate the sound of an 808 drum machine, but ends up sounding like the rhythmic bump & grind of a regional British train as it bangs, squeaks and rattles.

┆CHRIS MEIGHAN┆sct / nl

Chris Meighan makes danceable electro with his 'Koffersynth' (suitcase synth), an all-in-one synthesizer, sequencer and drum computer built into an 80s Samsonite briefcase. He has been working on it for four years. The Koffersynth also provides video images. This creates a comprehensive multimedia experience.
