JULIA HOLTER (SOLO on GRAND PIANO) with SPECIAL GUEST TASHI WADA ANTZOKI ZAHARRA Azaroa 28 Noviembre 20:00 18 € JULIA HOLTER (SOLO ON GRAND PIANO) WITH SPECIAL GUEST TASHI WADA ANTZOKI ZAHARRA Azaroa 28 Noviembre 20:00 18 € Julia Holter estatubatuarra azaroaren 28an izango da Antzoki Zaharrean, Julia Holter (solo on Grand Piano) with special guest Tashi Wada izeneko biraren barruan (27an Madriletik pasatuko da (Barceló antzokia, 981Heritage zikloaren barruan) eta 29an Bartzelonatik (BARTS aretoa, Bartzelonako Voll-Damm Nazioarteko Jazzaldiaren barruan). Holterrek gaur arte egin duen azken lana In the Same Room zuzenekoa da, aurtengo martxoan kaleratua. Birako bandarekin grabatu zuen, Londresko RAK Studios-en eta aurrez beste album batzuetan argitaratutako hamaika kanta birsortzen ditu han (salbuespen bakarra: Ekstasis, argitaratu gabea). Atzera begira jarrita, 2011ra jo behar lehen LPa aurkitzeko, Tragedy –baina 2007an EP bat zuen argitaratua, Eating the Stars–. Urtearen hondarrean agertu zen Tragedy, eta urrunetik zetorrela zirudien; soinu bikortsuz osatutako collage baten eta entzuleari atsedenik ematen ez zion giro baten bitartez hats hartzen zuten ahotsak zituela. Agerian geratu zen egileak jakin-mina zuela gotikotasunaz eta bere erakarmen popa produkzio abangoardiakoetatik iragazteaz, jolas-parkeetako ispilu-etxeak bezala dabiltzan horietatik. Bi zer horiek ugari zebiltzan orduan pop indiean. Baina bazegoen aldea, zeren eta Tragedy, era horretako diskoa izan arren, era horretako diskoak baino gehiago baitzen: soinua xehetasunez askoz beteagoa zuen, askoz erneago zebilen konposizio bakoitzaren premiez. Bere garaikide batzuetatik baino hurbilago (Zola Jesus edo Grouper, edo are, ahotsari ematen zaion garrantziagatik, Julianna Barwick baino hurbilago), 80ko hamarraldi erdiko zenbait izen 4AD zigilukoetatik, eta Laurie Anderson edo Meredith Monk-en tamainako emakume menturazaleetatik gertuago zebilen. Laurie Andersonen hurbileko ildo horretan ibili zen bigarren LPko pop esperimentala ere, Ekstasis, 2013ko martxoan agertua, eta are asmo handiagoak erakutsi zituen Loud City Song hirugarren LPan, zeina 2013ko abuztuan agertu baitzen. Gigik 1944an argitaratutako Colette liburuan, Frank O’Hararen poemetan eta Joni Mitchell-en albumetan inspiratua da Loud City Song, eta Holterrek Los Angeles hiriarekin dituen harremanak arakatzen zituen. Hiri hartantxe grabatu zuen 2012aren amaieran. Ondorengoa 2015eko irailean etorri zen, Have You in my Wilderness, bere ibilbideko entzunerrazena, zeinak oso kritika onak ekarri baitzizkion, eta haren ospea areagotu. Konposatzeko motibazioari buruz, egileak esan zuen Scott Walker-en Duchess kanta izan zela gakoa, “nolabait esanda, atzematen baitu ni maila zabalago batean egin nahian nenbilena: maite-kanta urre-kolore eta goxo horietakoak”. Azkenik, aipatu behar da Tashi Wada dela Holterren gonbidatu berezia bira honetan: Estatu Batuetako musikari esperimental bat, ohiko bidetik ez doazen arteetan espezializatua bera ere. Wadaren konposizioek egitura sinplea dute itxuraz, baina oso modu sotilean neurtutako afinazio-sistemak ezkutatu ohi dituzte, entzuleek hautematean efektu ustekabekoak sorrarazteko xedez. La estadounidense Julia Holter visitará el Teatro Principal el 28 en noviembre, con un tour que ha bautizado como Julia Holter (solo on Grand Piano) with special guest Tashi Wada, y que pasará por Madrid el día 27 (Teatro Barceló, dentro del ciclo 981Heritage) y el 29 en Barcelona (sala BARTS, dentro del Voll-Damm Festival Internacional de Jazz de Barcelona). Cabe recordar que el último trabajo de Holter hasta la fecha es el directo In The Same Room, que salió en marzo de este año. Fue grabado con su banda de gira en los londinenses RAK Studios y recrea once temas ya publicadas en álbumes previos (salvo Ekstasis, que no está representado). Echando la vista hacia atrás, hay que remontarse hasta 2011 para llegar hasta su primer LP, Tragedy -aunque en 2007 había publicado el EP Eating The Stars-. Aparecido a finales de aquel año, Tragedy es un trabajo que parecía llegar de lejos, con voces que respiraban a través de un collage de sonidos granulados y una atmósfera que no daba tregua al oyente. En él se manifiestaba que su autora sentía curiosidad por lo gótico y por filtrar su gancho pop a través de producciones vanguardistas, de esas que funcionan como las casas de espejos de los parques de atracciones. Dos argumentos que abundaban entonces en el pop indie. Pero la diferencia es que Tragedy, a pesar de ser uno-de-esos-discos, era más que KOMUNIKAZIOA COMUNICACIÓN Erregina Erregeordea, 8 - 20003 Donostia / San Sebastián T. (0034) 943 481 161 E. [email protected] www.donostiakultura.eus uno-de-esos-discos: su sonido se presentaba mucho más detallista, andaba más atento a las necesidades de cada composición. Más que acercarla a contemporáneos como Zola Jesus o Grouper (o incluso, por la importancia de la voz en su obra, a Julianna Barwick), casi que la arrimó a nombres del sello 4AD de mediados de los 80, y a féminas aventureras del calado de Laurie Anderson o Meredith Monk. En esa onda cercana a Laurie Anderson se mantuvo el pop experimental de su segundo LP, Ekstasis, aparecido en marzo de 2013, onda que fue llevada todavía a terrenos más ambiciosos en Loud City Song, su tercer larga duración, publicado en agosto de 2013. Inspirado en el libro Colette que en 1944 publicó Gigi, en los poemas de Frank O'Hara y en álbumes de Joni Mitchell, Loud City Song exploraba la relación de Holter con la ciudad de Los Ángeles, en la que fue grabado a finales de 2012. Su sucesor llegó en septiembre de 2015, Have You In My Wilderness, el más accesible de su carrera, cosechando críticas muy positivas que elevaron el prestigio de Julia. Sobre la motivación para componerlo, su autora declaró que la canción de Scott Walker Duchess había sido clave para ello,"de alguna manera captura lo que yo estaba intentando hacer en un nivel más amplio: este grupo de doradas y cálidas canciones de amor". Finalmente, mencionar que Tashi Wada, el invitado especial de Holter en esta gira, es un músico experimental estadounidense, también especializado en artes indisciplinares. Sus composiciones suelen utilizar estructuras de apariencia sencilla, pero que esconden sistemas de afinación que han sido sutilmente calibrados para generar inesperados efectos de percepción.

  • The Soraya Joins Martha Graham Dance Company and Wild up for the June 19 World Premiere of a Digital Dance Creation
    The Soraya Joins Martha Graham Dance Company and Wild Up for the June 19 World Premiere of a Digital Dance Creation Immediate Tragedy Inspired by Martha Graham’s lost solo from 1937, this reimagined version will feature 14 dancers and include new music composed by Wild Up’s Christopher Rountree (New York, NY), May 28, 2020—The ongoing collaboration by three major arts organizations— Martha Graham Dance Company, the Los Angeles-based Wild Up music collective, and The Soraya—will continue June 19 with the premiere of a digital dance inspired by archival remnants of Martha Graham’s Immediate Tragedy, a solo she created in 1937 in response to the Spanish Civil War. Graham created the solo in collaboration with composer Henry Cowell, but it was never filmed and has been considered lost for decades. Drawing on the common experience of today’s immediate tragedy – the global pandemic -- the 22 artists creating the project are collaborating from locations across the U.S. and Europe using a variety of technologies to coordinate movement, music, and digital design. The new digital Immediate Tragedy, commissioned by The Soraya, will premiere online Friday, June 19 at 4pm (Pacific)/7pm (EST) during Fridays at 4 on The Soraya Facebook page, and Saturday, June 20 at 11:30am/2:30pm at the Martha Matinee on the Graham Company’s YouTube Channel. In its new iteration, Immediate Tragedy will feature 14 dancers and 6 musicians each recorded from the safety of their homes. Martha Graham Dance Company’s Artistic Director Janet Eilber, in consultation with Rountree and The Soraya’s Executive Director, Thor Steingraber, suggested the long-distance creative process inspired by a cache of recently rediscovered materials—over 30 photos, musical notations, letters and reviews all relating to the 1937 solo.

  • JULIA HOLTER (USA) «Have You in My Wilderness» (Domino Records, Release: 25.09.2015)
    JULIA HOLTER (USA) «Have You In My Wilderness» (Domino Records, Release: 25.09.2015) „Have You In My Wilderness‟ is Julia Holter‟s most intimate album yet, a collection of radiant ballads. Her follow-up to 2013‟s widely celebrated „Loud City Song‟ explores love, trust, and power in human relationships. While love songs are familiar fodder in pop music, Holter manages to stay fascinatingly oblique and enigmatic on her new album. “This record is pretty haunted, in a way,” Holter says. “There‟s always this lurking feeling that things may not be what they seem.” Holter is well known for weaving literary references into her dreamy, atmospheric music. Her 2011 full- length debut, Tragedy, was based on an ancient Greek play by Euripides; Ekstasis pulled in quotes from Virginia Woolf, Frank O’Hara, and other literary titans; Loud City Song took its inspiration from Gigi, the 1944 French novella by Colette and the whimsical 1958 musical that followed. For Have You in My Wilderness, Holter reached inward for inspiration. “I started writing a bunch of songs from my heart—warm, dark, and raw—with less emphasis on theatrical ideas and without an overall narrative, like I’ve sometimes used in the past,” she says. “All of these songs would come out of me while playing the piano very intuitively and quickly, without any planned concept. Many of the lyrics are stream-of-consciousness and surreal. Sometimes I would be surprised by the imagery that came out. Sometimes it was obvious, because of what I was feeling at the time.

  • Poliça and Stargaze Kick Off Their East Coast Tour with a Residency and Showing at MASS Moca on Thursday, February 15, at 8Pm
    For Immediate Release 16 November 2017 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] POLIÇA and s t a r g a z e Pop music disassembled NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — s t a r g a z e, Berlin’s new music mavericks, joins forces with the brooding pop of Poliça to create a new evening-length work Music for the Long Emergency, commissioned by and premiered with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra’s Liquid Music Series and now further developed by curatorial collective Infinite Palette. Pitchfork describes Poliça as “digitized Norah Jones atop Radiohead at its most polyrhythmic.” Fold in one of Europe’s hottest ensembles for a sense of this boundary-breaking collaboration. A new work for the ensemble by Daniel Wohl will open the show at MASS MoCA on Thursday, February 15, at 8pm. Emerging from a collaboration between producer Ryan Olson, the mastermind behind the neo-soul collective Gayngs, and vocalist Channy Leaneagh, formerly of folk-rock duo Roma di Luna, the Minneapolis-based synth-pop group Poliça (stylized POLIÇA) formed with the aim of “escaping to a different reality,” says Leaneagh (Rolling Stone). Its debut album Give You the Ghost, written in just two heady weeks, is a doorway to another world of hypnotic crystalline loops and fluidly funky basslines. To complete this psychedelic outfit, the duo tapped Chris Bierden (bass), Drew Christopherson (drums), and Ben Ivascu (drums) to join Leaneagh in the studio and on stage. Less than six months after its live debut, and days after its first album release in February 2012, Poliça was receiving star-studded praise, most notably from Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, who told Rolling Stone, “They’re the best band I’ve ever heard.” When Poliça released its highly anticipated follow-up album a year later, the acclaimed Berlin-based conductor André de Ridder was in the midst of founding Stargaze (stylized s t a r g a z e), a network of multi-talented and classically trained European musicians.

  • Julia Holter
    Julia Holter - Ekstasis RVNGNL14 Julia Holter’s second album, a collection of songs written over three years in Los Angeles, documenting an artist’s search for the incomprehensibly beautiful in untraditional pop form Release date: March 8th, 2012 Julia Holter second album, Ekstasis, is a collection of songs written across the span of three years in Los Angeles, California. Holter's songwriting stems from a mythological reverence of that which is incomprehensibly beautiful. Her Eating the Stars EP (2007) was a first attempt at musically transcribing this beauty, while discovering the honest enjoyment of unadulterated creativity. The anonymous authorship and shimmering gold detail of medieval illuminated manuscripts particularly inspired the ornately-orchestrated pop song mystery of Stars. Holter's debut album Tragedy (Leaving Records, 2011) embraced similar strains of shimmer, but used sparser textures in a narrative context. Ekstasis marks a return to the playful searching of Stars, but guided by newly-learned disciplines, slightly better technology, and nearly limitless home recording time. Formative experiences at Cal Arts studying with Michael Pisaro and in India singing with harmonium under guru Pashupati nath Mishra marked a slight detour for Holter in what started as a more traditional composition route. The trajectory leading to the creation of Ekstasis suggests her thirst for knowledge and experience. While Ekstasis reflects the conventions of her classical training, the album is also uncannily, if unknowingly, poppy. Holter's approach to crafting the songs of Ekstasis centered around what she describes as, "open ear decisions: what seemed to sound best for that moment." This blindness to reference unintentionally steers Ekstasis along the experimental pop spectrum most commonly associated to New York's Downtown music micro-universe of the 80s, specifically the works of Laurie Anderson and Arthur Russell.
