According to the Paradiso site, Lee Ranaldo, DJ Olive and Ulrich Krieger are among the artists "contributing" to the yearly Night of the Unexpected in Paradiso, Amsterdam on september 7. A Text of Light trio gig perhaps?

(that already happened a long time ago, pork!)

[porkmarras]

Aw sweet Nefeli!

[sonicl]

Perhaps this suggests that Lee, or maybe even all of SY, is going to tour in Europe in the autumn?

[jean-nicolas]

Maybe he could come to Belgium the next day???????

[greenlight]

more info? i checked that web page, but it saying - Night of the Unexpected, but i can't see Lee Ranaldo name there.

[pokkeherrie]

if you click on the date september 7 then some names show up. i couldn't find any more info yet; probably when the lineup is complete. it doesn't say text of light or even who lee's playing with, but i assume lee ranaldo, dj olive and ulrich krieger together on the same bill means it will be a text of light thing, albeit in a smaller lineup without alan licht or even a drummer.

phil niblock and thomas ankersmit is very likely a duo performance too.

maybe that's thinking very optimistic... sonic youth are touring the usa until september 3rd. i don't think they'd pull out a european tour straight after that. but maybe a few more days in december?

[pokkeherrie]

ah, i love bumping my own topics!


there will be TWO performances by Lee:

- Lee Ranaldo/Ulrich Krieger/DJ Olive trio (not Text of Light)

- Lee Ranaldo solo "Drift" (with Leah's films on DVD; she won't be there)

also solo performances by Ulrich Krieger and DJ Olive + lots more... don't miss it!

[Tokolosh]

The Night of the Unexpected is een festival van één nacht. Een beleving, een avond vol muzikale verassingen, die je dwars door stijlen en genres voert. The Night of the Unexpected richt zich op nieuwe ontwikkelingen in de hedendaagse muziek, van experimentele techno tot gecomponeerde muziek.

 

Lee Ranaldo, DJ Olive en saxofonist Ulrich Krieger, spelen in veel groepen, zoals Sonic Youth, Zeitkratzer Ensemble en Text of Light. Als trio creëren ze pakkende geluidsbeelden bij films van pioniers in de experimentele film, waaronder films van Stan Brakhage en anderen.
Phill Niblock & Thomas Ankersmit spelen dichte, luide, elektronische drones, waarin microtonen en instrumentale timbres samenkomen.

In een energiek stuk van Michael Gordon, een Newyorkse componist en een van de oprichters van Bang on a Can, produceert Monica Germino een industrieel geluid met haar aangepaste akoustische viool.

Madrigalen van Gusualdo, gezongen door het uitmuntende Kassiopeia Kwintet, zullen klinken naast De Profundis, de accordeoncompositie van Sofia Gubaidulina, tot klinken gebracht door Merima Kljuco.

Twee composities voor geluid en licht van Marko Ciciliani zullen uitgevoerd worden door zijn nieuwe groep Bakin Zub. Een premiere.
Turntablist DJ Olive laat twee draaitafels met elkaar in gesprek gaan.
Sonic Youth-lid Lee Ranaldo brengt met Drift een multidisciplinaire voorstelling met gitaarerupties, poetische teksten en bedwelmende filmbeelden van filmmaker Leah Singer.
Saxofonist Ulrich Krieger speelde ooit Metal Machine Music met het Zeitkratzer Ensemble en Lou Reed. Nu creeërt hij zelf feedbackgeluiden met saxofoon en elektronica.
Lynn Pook toont haar luisterbedden, waarbij de luisteraar de klank zowel hoort als fysiek ervaart.
Jorge Isaac toont zijn onderzoekswerk Sensorial Acts, een installatie voor geluid, beeld, temperatuur en geur.
The Night of the Unexpected is onderdeel van de internationale Gaudeamus Muziekweek i.s.m. Steim en Paradiso

I'd really like to go, but I'm on Texel and there's no way I can buy a ticket beforehand. It might be sold out before I get there.

[pokkeherrie]

oh, i see... that's difficult indeed. maybe you can try paradiso but i don't think they'll take reservations by phone.

i think it was sold out last year (i didn't go), but it all depends on who's playing of course.

Are you going pokkeherrie?
