Music Performance
Jeremy Young + Jesse Perlstein with Plimp or Plant
7/23, 7PM
Dreamsong is excited to present an evening of ambient and electronic tape music, with performances from Jeremy Young (Montreal) and Jesse Perlstein (LA), supported by Plimp or Plant (Minneapolis).
Jeremy Young is a maker of concrète electronic tape music from Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, Quebec. He is a member of the poetry_sound duo Cloud Circuit, the electroacoustic modern classical trio Sontag Shogun, and library music waveriders Associated Sine Tone Services. His latest full-length recordings are Cablcar, issued by Halocline Trance, and Masses, issued by We, Here, & Now Recordings.
Making use of a sine and square wave oscillator system, analog 1/4" tape and open reel loops, filtered radio and EMF signal, and foley-inspired sound treatments from amplified surfaces and objects, Young's improvisational and compositional techniques are influenced by Cagean aleatoricism as well as haptics-based praxis and deep listening. His McLuhan-esque approach lies in combining the physical treatment of audio signal (piezo mic'd objects and surfaces, manipulations of tape and tone via texture and voltage) with complex musical content, to create sonic narratives that are anchored by the media on which they are recorded, edited, and/or played back. Young’s live performances are improvisational and grid-less.
Jesse Perlstein is an LA-based composer/performer. He uses a mix of vocals, field recordings dubbed-to-tape, synth & analog processing to create experimental compositions bridging ambient soundscapes with looped harmonizing voice, resulting in rhythms and melodies that build, swell and explode into noise. He is also a member of the experimental, neo-classical trio Sontag Shogun, and the improvisational industrial techno outfit AxOxH.
Plimp or Plant is a duo comprised of local musicians Mariel Oliveira and Bryan Hitchcock.
