Both Jamie and Scott of dreamSTATE have long wanted to perform with Ben Grossman so the Drone Cycle brings them the perfect opportunity as what better than hurdy gurdy and electronics to develop a deep resonating and mind-altering drone in D#. To make the 10th drone even more memorable, Ben has invited renowned violinist Hugh Marsh to join in on the fun by adding his vibrating strings and electronics to create a truly dimensional drone which will spread like a sonic fog floating out into the night air. http://www.dreamstate.to 10:00 . hugh marsh (violin and electronics) and ben grossman (hurdy gurdy and electronics) . having spent years playing together in various bands, hatching their evil plans on tour buses throughout north america and europe, hugh and ben are finally ready to unleash a unique improvised mayhem on unsuspecting ears. drawing on their shared interests in acoustic and electronic sounds, string instruments, noisy little boxes that go “shnor;lkjsdfietrljsd!” and red wine, they will create soundscapes and grooves unlike anything else. at times reminiscent of the heavy, funk-soaked grooves of arvo pärt and györgy ligeti, or the delicate, subtle shifting soundscapes of frank zappa and die antwoord, hugh and ben will transport you to a beautiful world in which george clinton and arnold schoenberg's love children can live in peace at last under a black metal sun... ben grossman: http://www.macrophone.org hugh marsh http://hughmarsh.net . GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS . Stephen Lindsey and Eric Siegerman, will use light and shadow as brushes to paint the room with swirling textures and patterns flying in the fog. http://www.generalchaosvisuals.ca .
