Greg Kelley, a stunningly original trumpeter, graduated from the Peabody Conservatory of Music in 1995. He has since garnered much praise for his unique vocabulary of extended techniques and timbral manipulation. In 1998, Kelley began a pattern of dedicated touring, performing throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. These travels have led to numerous collaborations, including ones with Anthony Braxton, Paul Lovens, Keiji Haino, Eddie Prevost, Kevin Drumm and John Butcher. Kelley is best known for his work in the duo nmperign with Bhob Rainey and for his breathtaking solo record on Meniscus, simply titled Trumpet. Jason Lescalleet has been working with different styles of music for over a decade, focusing on the use of tapes for much of that period. In live performance, he uses reel-to-reel tape decks to explore the textures of low fidelity analog sounds and the natural phenomena of old tape and obsolete technology. He blends layers of ambient tapeloops, moving through levels of silence and white noise, all transformed through cheap microphones and trashed speakers. For his studio work, Lescalleet uses the computer as a processing and organizational tool. He has worked with such wide-ranging artists as Francisco Lopez, Donald Miller, Achim Wollscheid, and John Hudak. |
Forlorn
Green Over the last few years, the Boston/Cambridge improv scene has emerged as potentially the most exciting in the US, and Greg Kelley and Jason Lescalleet are two of the most compelling figures in this scene. Forlorn Green documents the outcome of three years of enthusiastic aesthetic discussions, performances containing near silences one night or (literal) showers of sparks on another, countless phone calls and emails, and endless listening for the two musicians. Forlorn Green is the end result of four recording dates, two live collaborations, one recording of Kelley solo, and one recording of Kelley under Lescalleet's direction, employing uncommon recording equpment and unconventional techniques. Forlorn Green merges a remarkable variety of neo-industrial rumbles and incisive interruptions, all flawlessly fused and integrated, creating a lo-fi concréte masterpiece. 4 tracks in 54:00 minutes More Erstwhile One Final Note Review Label Profile from One Final Note :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Trumpet (Kelley) Tuba Libre (Giancarlo Schiaffini) The Ilya Tree (Greg Kelley, Paul Flaherty, John Voigt, Laurence Cook) Pith Balls and Inclined Planes (Jeff Kaiser and Ernesto Diaz-Infante) Brass City (Joe McPhee and Jeb Bishop) Claque (Dörner, Lonberg-Holm, Zerang) Window Shopping (Rajesh Mehta) Phosphor (Beins, Bosetti, Dörner, Hayward, Krebs, Neumann, Renkel, Schick) |
