-JOHN VOIGT: improbable duets
a Night of Deconstructed Prepared Guitars
with
Marc Bisson & Jon Damian – guitars
Mitchel Ahern – lid, electroluxopipeophone, etc.
John Voigt – bass
Mitchel Ahern, on his own self-invented, electro-acoustic instruments: The
Lid, a vintage 1930’s wringer washing machine lid mounted on a cello-like
body on which are velcro-mounted various electronic effects boxes. The
ElectroLuxoPipeOPhone,(the ElectroLuxo for short) is a linkage of organ-like
pipes on a vacuum cleaner; it sounds like a wind-driven Theramin. He also
does the Bass Rake, the Rotary, The Bluttabruch, Turntables, and
Scratchcassette. He has performed at the Trenton Avant-Garde Festival,
Knitting Factory, AS220, Worcester Artist Group, and The Middle East.
Marc Bisson, prepared guitar, played the Blues for many years. Now he plays
guitar using various “preparations” including kitchen utensils, glass bottles and alligator clips in order to achieve different sound textures and colors.
Jon Damian is the inventor of the Rubbertellie… a totally standard guitar, but approached in a totally non-standard way. It is held differently, played differently, tuned quite differently, hence the conceptual prefix “rubber” to indicate that it has stretched the
traditional boundaries of the instrument. His varied performances have ranged from Bill Frisell to Luciano Pavarotti, The Boston Symphony Orchestra under Seiji Ozawa to Johnny Cash.
John Voigt, electronic upright bass, a mainstay in the Boston and New York City free jazz scene. Performed with Peter Brotzmann, Bill Frisell, Keith Jarrett, Joe McPhee, Jemeel Moondoc, Thurston Moore, Joe Morris, among many others. Recorded on Aum Fidelity, Eremite, Box Holder, and Ayler Records; also RRRecords (a video with Thurston Moore).
