  • BAM Presents Brazilian Superstar Marisa Monte in Concert, May 1 & 2
    BAM presents Brazilian superstar Marisa Monte in concert, May 1 & 2 SAMBA NOISE Marisa Monte With special guests Arto Lindsay, Seu Jorge, and more TBA BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) May 1 & 2 at 8pm Tickets start at $35 April 8, 2015/Brooklyn, NY—Renowned Brazilian singer/songwriter Marisa Monte makes her BAM debut with two nights of contemporary Brazilian popular music in a show specifically conceived for the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House. The performances feature Monte’s hand-picked band and guest artists. Praised by The New York Times as possessing “one of the most exquisite voices in Brazilian music,” Marisa Monte has been the benchmark for excellence among female singers in Brazil since she burst upon the scene in 1987. As she approaches the 30-year mark of her career, she still commands the same admiration and prestige that greeted her stunning debut. Her 12 CDs and seven DVDs have sold over 10 million copies worldwide and garnered 11 Latin Grammy Award nominations (winning four) and eight Video Music Brazil awards. For her BAM debut, she will perform with artists that are closely associated with her, including American producer/composer Arto Lindsay, Brazilian singer/songwriter/actor Seu Jorge, and others to be announced. About the Artists Born in Rio de Janeiro, the home of samba, Marisa Monte honed her singing skills with operatic training in in Italy. Her work embraces the traditions of MPB (música popular brasileira) and samba within a pop format that is modern and sophisticated. Aside from being a talented composer—she recorded her own work starting with her second album, Mais (EMI-Odeon, 1991), produced by Arto Lindsay—Monte is considered one of the most versatile performers in Brazil.

  • Goodbye 20Th Century: Noise, Modernism, Aesthetics
    1 Goodbye 20th Century: Noise, Modernism, Aesthetics Invited paper given at Noisetheorynoise#1, March 6 2004, Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University David Cunningham There is a familiar complaint that, by contrast to our resources for articulating the visual world, our dominant verbal languages lack a similarly rich vocabulary of sound. Yet, despite (or because of) this apparent linguistic ‘lack’, noise as a specific figure of excess – with its accompanying metaphorics of the ‘ear-splitting’, the ‘over- powering’, or even the ‘unlistenable’ - has often seemed particularly liable to provoke a concomitant rhetorical excess on the part of its would-be theorists. Such rhetoric - which continually risks drifting into the utopianist fantasy of a ‘matter’ totally liberated from all formal ‘construction’ – no doubt takes shape, to some crucial degree, through its inevitable relation to the historically-conditioned figure of ‘excess’ itself. (‘Noise’, after all, is one of those disconcerting forms that Burke associates with the category of the Sublime, that canonical philosophical articulation of excess). In this regard, it is not perhaps coincidental that a certain contemporary ‘noise music’ has often been seen to make common cause with a particular discourse of bodily, material ‘transgression’, which has its neat equivalents in both literature and the visual arts. Yet, as the conceptual artists Art & Language argue, in a recent article, ‘it does not follow’ from the perhaps ‘over-intellectualized delibidinized’

  • Caetano Veloso by Andy Beta Contributor in the History Books, It Was on March 31St, 1964 That a Military Coup Ousted Brazilian President João Goulart
    Caetano Veloso by Andy Beta Contributor In the history books, it was on March 31st, 1964 that a military coup ousted Brazilian President João Goulart. The U.S.-backed junta overtook all branches of government, ending nearly a century of newfound democracy for the one-time adjunct of the Portuguese empire and subjecting the country to two decades of increasingly repressive military rule. In Caetano Veloso’s 2003 memoir Tropical Truth: A Story of Music & Revolution in Brazil, he is adamant that the date is a lie: The coup actually took place on April Fool’s Day. Four years into the new regime, then-twentysomething Brazilian pop singer Veloso recorded his first solo album. But the first voice you hear on his 1968 self-titled release isn’t that of Veloso, but of Portuguese knight Pêro Vaz de Caminha, credited with discovering Brazil in the year 1500. He wrote a letter to Manuel I, King of Portugal raving about the fertile Brazilian land and how “all that is planted grows and flourishes,” convincing the king that the presumed island was worthy of colonization. Carta de Pero Vaz Caminha is considered the first literary text to emanate from Brazil but it gets parodied in a high nasally voice by Veloso’s drummer Dirceu. Little did the percussionist know that the tapes were running. And when the arranger of the session mimics the “exotic” sounds of the Brazilian rainforest, it points back to that time when Brazil was virgin land, before the empire arrived at her shores. Caetano Veloso’s debut album remains one of the most revolutionary albums released into the worldwide tumult of the 1960s.

  • John Lurie and the Lounge Lizards
    John Lurie and The Lounge Lizards John Lurie the sax player, the actor, the painter and the fisherman. Though this might sound like a schizophrenic portrait it's simply the truth. All these different personalities suit in the same physical body. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts on December 14 1952, he's mostly known as the founder of The Lounge Lizards, a modern jazz ensemble featuring a bunch of hipsters of the New York Downtown scene. Along with his brother Evan on piano there were Arto Lindsay (guitar), Anton Fier (drums) and Steve Piccolo (bass). This is the band playing inside “The Lounge Lizards” (EEG, 1981), their first official album, although the band was already active at the end of the seventies. The ensemble underwent a few changes over the years: Arto Lindsay was later replaced by Marc Ribot on guitar and more elements were added until the band expanded into an octet, sometimes even a nonet, maintaining John Lurie in New York, 1982 however their typical unsettling, ironic, often sharp, sound. The Lounge Lizards perfectly embodied the Downtown noir-like atmosphere surrounding the artists in New York at the beginning of the eighties. “No pain for cakes” (Island, 1987), “Voice of Chunk” (Strange & Beautiful Music, 1990), “Queen of all ears” (Strange & Beautiful Music, 1998) plus a bunch of live recordings followed their self-titled debut release and are the overall output of the band. Not too much of an output considering when the band was formed, but John used the stage to refine, rearrange and shape the tunes over and over.

  • Robert Quine Interview- Perfect Sound Forever
    Robert Quine interview- Perfect Sound Forever http://www.furious.com/perfect/quine.html ROBERT QUINE Interview by Jason Gross (November 1997) Who is Robert Quine? According to him, he 'remains one of the most compelling, appalling and universally hated figures in music history.' If you think that's a little too generous, Kenneth Coleman has written his own tribute to Quine. Let me just say that I don't see how you can just say that Quine is a sideman or collaborator who happened to work with Richard Hell, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, Tom Waits, Matthew Sweet and others- he's been an important part of their music, critically shaping it. Since most of his work has been working with these better-known performers, he hasn't become a household name himself. His guitar playing is certainly distinctive enough to warrant this but the fact is that he technically has only two albums to his name (both collaborations). Even so, anyone familiar with his work is rabid about him as I found out when I asked around to drill up some support for this interview. Any old session man can play the right notes in time but Quine just plain TEARS IT UP and takes no prisoners. You KNOW when he plays a solo. How about calilng him a guitarist's guitarist? You get the picture. Enormous thanks go out to Phillip Bull, Scott Russell, Christopher Hamilton, Michael Piper and ESPECIALLY JIM DEROGATIS AND ALICE SHERMAN! JUNE 2004: Old friend Jim Marshall reports to us that Quine took his own life.
