Second Friday Performances at The Front Room
Join us Friday, June 8th, from 7-9pm for 'Williamsburg Second Friday', featuring an evening of sound performances curated by Jeremy Slater, in conjunction with our current exhibition, "The Reefing of USS Radford," a solo exhibition of photographs by Stephen Mallon. Featuring: Zaïmph, Warren Ng and Band Antenna
Zaïmph is the solo project of ambient noise artist Marcia Bassett. Although legendary for white-hot guitar and vocal brutality, Zaimph's recent recordings and performances infuse cracked-raga song structures with dense electronic and synthesiser drones to create soundscapes where a lurking apocalypse is eclipsed by shimmering, meditative beauty.
Warren Ng is an experimental guitarist based in Brooklyn who draws from minimalism, drone, and noise. He has performed and recorded under the names This Invitation, Somnambulists, and A Blanket of Snow. His releases include: This Invitation's The Skin of Light (2004) and Sunless / Ellipses, Lapses, and Collapses (2010); and Somnambulists' At Daybreak the First Greyness to Emerge (2010) and The Invisible Score (2010). He also appeared on thecompilation Music for Plants (2005) and performed in Rhys Chatham's A Crimson Grail (for 200 Guitars) at Lincoln Center in 2009.
Band Antenna is a musical trio that has been channel surfing the outer frequencies for about 4 years. The Tribal Council of the Super Moon has utilized the Band Antenna to broadcast on their debut album. Band Antenna's "Super Moon Post" was released in March.
