Brooklyn World-Fusion group Loop 2.4.3 re-creates Zodiac Dust at The Hog Farm. Joining the night's performance is Garth Stevenson, stand up bass/multimedia virtuoso .
Biddeford, ME, October 14, 2009 World/Classical fusion group Loop 2.4.3 performs at The Hog Farm, featuring the music from their release, Zodiac Dust, with a performance at 8 p.m. on Saturday, November 14th 2009 at The Hog Farm, 140 Main St., Suite 107 (back alley) Biddeford, Maine 04005.
In the tradition of sonic innovators like Steve Reich, Konono N1, Moondog, and Radiohead, Loop 2.4.3s new album flows through a vast array of sounds and rhythms across the nine tracks on Zodiac Dust. Their first CD, Batterie, was said to reinvent percussion (Fresh Air, NPR). Their new CD, nominated for album of the year at the Independent Music Awards, adds piano, voice, strings and two instruments of their invention, the Rose Echo and eLog, both to be featured at the upcoming performance.
Well known for their live shows, recent Loop 2.4.3 performances have been described as Transportive (Boston Phoenix), Intricate and energetic (The New York Times), Mesmerizingstunning (Time Out Chicago), a hard driving set (Alex Ross, the New Yorker), and a mind-blowing show (Sean Boyd, Art Farm Recordings). The intimate space at Psalm Salon is ideal for the groups percussion-centric, visually exciting performances.
Garth Stevenson (http://www.garthstevenson.com) is an experience that should not be missed. His peice/performance of "Grandfather" wins International Society of Double Bassists Composition Competition
"Grandfather" for solo double bass with electronics won the International Society of Double Bassists Composition Competition in the Media Division. It was composed this piece in memory of his grandfather, John Stevenson.
