David Longstreth / Bang on a Can All-Stars David Longstreth / Bang On A Can All-Stars January 13, 2012 By MRP In February, Bang On A Can, originally a fest but now an international experimental music organization, is releasing its first studio album in five years by the Bang On A Can All-Stars. Titled Big Beautiful Dark and Scary, the double album features the All-Stars — currently: Ashley Bathgate, cello; Robert Black, bass; Vicky Chow, piano; David Cossin, percussion; Mark Stewart, electric guitar; and Evan Ziporyn, clarinets — performing works by Bang’s founding members (Julia Wolfe, David Lang, and Michael Gordon), as well as pieces by Conlon Nancarrow, Louis Andriessen, Kate Moore, and, yes, Mr. David Longstreth of Dirty Projectors. That’s right. In 2009, while you were busy listening to Bitte Orca (TMT Review) and watching bootleg videos of Dirty Projectors’ collaboration with Björk (TMT Review), the All-Stars premiered three new works by Longstreth — “Instructional Video,” “Matt Damon,” and “Breakfast at J&M” — all commissioned by Bang On A Can. This put Longstreth in the company of composers like Alvin Lucier, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, John Adams, Ornette Coleman, and Matthew Shipp, for whom Bang On A Can has commissioned and/or premiered pieces. The All-Stars have since went into the studio to record Longstreth’s compositions for the new double album, and we’re streaming the longest of the three, “Matt Damon,” for the next month or so. In addition to some new Longstreth arrangements that are somewhat reminiscent of the jerky musical narratives in The Getty Address (Dirty Projectors’ 2005 glitch opera), you’ll also hear some direct musical quotations from a track off the group’s 2007 album, Rise Above. Listen to find out which one! Meanwhile, Big Beautiful Dark and Scary is still available for free, so grab it before January 25 or purchase a copy through Cantaloupe when it “hits shelves” on February 28. http://www.tinymixtapes.com/chocolate-grinder/listen-david-longstreth-bang-can-all-stars-matt-damon .

Rating: 8/10 | Genres: Indie Rock, Indie Pop. Review: "Father of the Bride" contains a masterpiece scattered around its 18 songs, quite few of them under 2 minutes and also few over 4. This is a rich record filled with things to listen to. Its genius is that it sounds content, like a victorious rallying cry among the band's most eclectic and pleasing sound yet, but still it hides Koenig's uncertainty and desperation. It is almost self-deprecating in a way. Now a grown house-man of sorts, Koenig woke up from the numbness of marriage and realizes he "got married in a gold rush".

  • Nytt Album Fra Dirty Projectors – "Lamp Lit Prose" Ute 13. Juli
    Foto: Jason Frank Rothenberg 03-05-2018 12:06 CEST Nytt album fra Dirty Projectors – "Lamp Lit Prose" ute 13. juli Dirty Projectors – "Lamp Lit Prose" Nytt album slippes 13. juli 2018 Produsenten, multi-instrumentalisten og vokalisten Dave Longstreth, den kreative hjernen bak Dirty Projectors, vender tilbake med albumet "Lamp Lit Prose". Albumet slippes 13. juli i år via Domino, og blir nyeste tilskudd til en svært variert og fascinerende diskografi, og bandets niende utgivelse i rekken. "Lamp Lit Prose" er produsert av Longstreth i hans studio Ivo Shandor i Los Angeles. Albumet inkluderer gjesteopptredener fra en imponerende rekke artister, som Syd, Haim, Robin Pecknold, Rostam Batmanglij, Amber Mark, Empress Of og Dear Nora, i tillegg til Nat Baldwin og Mike Johnson, som har spilt med Dirty Projectors i lang tid. STREAM FØRSTE SINGEL "BREAK-THRU" HER SE MUSIKKVIDEOEN TIL "BREAK-THRU" HER "Lamp Lit Prose" kommer til verden litt over et år etter at bandet slapp sitt selvtitulerte "Dirty Projectors" i 2017. De to platene er som yin og yang. Låtene på den nye "Lamp Lit Prose" reflekterer et nytt perspektiv for Longstreth: håp i stedet for hjertesorg, en balanse som gjenopprettes. Gitarene er tilbake i Dirty Projectors sin verden, intrikate vokalharmonier også. "Lamp Lit Prose" omfavner bandets karakteristikker, samtidig som det forsøker å utvide bandets musikalske grenser. Dirty Projectors annonserte nylig sin første turné på fem år. Longstreth legger ut på veien sammen med Baldwin (bass) og Johnson (trommer), i tillegg til tre nye bandmedlemmer: Felicia Douglass (perkusjon, vokal), Maia Friedman (gitar, vokal) og Kristin Slipp (keyboard, vokal).

  • Maximum Black Festival Background
    PRESS RELEASE Maximum Black Festival Final Fantasy Six Organs of Admittance Dirty Projectors Frog Eyes 29.02.2008 London THE FORUM Owen Pallett, singer/songwriter and head of Canadian band Final Fantasy will both curate and headline the Maximum Black Festival in London, Berlin and Vienna in February/March 2008. On stage he will be joined by friends of the calibre of Deerhoof, Six Organs of Admittance, Dirty Projectors and Frog Eyes. The name, Maximum Black , is derived from a song by the German band Bohren & The Club of Gore, of whom Owen is a great fan. The Maximum Black festival will be 100% funded by the Vienna Public Utility company. This cooperation, however, is not a product of planned negotiations, but a result of extraordinary circumstances. Background The Vienna Public Utility Company had commissioned an international advertising agency to realize a new image campaign for them. The advertising company got in contact with Final Fantasy about using their song “This is the song of Win & Regine” as background music to a video campaign, but band and team had decided not to licence their music for commercial purposes due to bad experiences in the past. As a result the advertising company decided to ask another artist to write a song which turned out to be a nearly identical cover of Final Fantasy’s original, and proceeded to use it for their campaign. This plagiarism was not kept a secret for a long time. An impending law suit did not suit the interests of both Final Fantasy and the Viennese company, and so they both agreed to compromise: Final Fantasy, i.e.

It’s been another fun year at CD Central! Certainly one filled with ups and downs (thinking about the Limestone road project here) but the bottom line is we’ve enjoyed bringing some great music to Lexington, both live and on disc. This booklet is our annual recap of some of the year’s brightest musical highlights. One of the great things we can look back at this year is our participation in Local First Lexington. All of the members of LFL are locally-owned, independent businesses who do great things for our community. These are the businesses that make Lexington a unique place among a sea of national chain stores. Please make it one of your New Year’s resolutions to “Think Local First” when making your buying decisions in the coming year. It feels good to shop local and it makes Lexington a better place.
