David van Tiegham???? Where have been hiding? I loved your work from the laurie
anderson records, and your solo work...I used to dj in college, ( on-air,
pre-turntable-ism) and played your records all the time....would you be interested
in the possibility of playing with us? We are a sample based loop music , part
subotnick, part loop guru, part afro-celt sound system....al parts us,
TonePharaoh. Myself ( bassiste) and the main synthesist
( dwight loop) have been at this 10 years now, and have always needed a spacious
sonicist on guitar. They are hard to find. We have been exploring the merging
world of musique concrete' and the worl-soul-groove...attempting to draw it
together into a melange of trance inducding electronique....we succeed, we fail,
we contiue to experiment.
We are in the Bay area., san francisco...dwight loop ( his real name) has played
with a close friend of Laurie's in NY, and we both have played with dj
Cheb-i-sabah most recently. Our music is built around modality, samples, and
loops....samples from cambodian freedom fighter, monks crying out their
confessions to a holy templar, muslims mulahs,kaliphs and sepphardic
chantresses....are you in NY....what are you up to know?Tastes of our music ( on CyberiaRecords) can be heard temporarily at
http://www.mp3.com/tonepharoah and my site: http://www.leehoworks.org
Dwight's site is: http://www.earwaves.netwould love to speak with you...at least to find out what intriguing projects
you're on to now 20 years later, and how you're poised for the 21st century.lee howard
