Creative Independent: Anenon |
|
In 2018, The Creative Independent and National Sawdust will work together to present new works from independent musicians, dancers, and other types of working artists. The shows will focus on process, collaboration, and the time and space needed to complete a creative project.
This show features “Tongue Versions,” a performance by Los Angeles based musician and composer Anenon featuring New York based artist Bryce Hackford. Based on his latest LP, “Tongue,” this live iteration will feature improvised music and sound alongside the original material of the album.
Brian Allen Simon recorded “Tongue,” his fourth LP as Anenon, in the Italian countryside of Tuscany during a month-long residency program in April of 2017.

Spring Revolution: L'Rain |
|
L’Rain is part of the Spring Revolution festival, National Sawdust’s annual two week festival celebrating the musical revolution created by Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. Held from March 1st through March 11th, this year Spring Revolution celebrates the voice of women, with every night featuring female curators, artists and composers because the female perspective is the human perspective and the human perspective should be inclusive.
L’Rain, hailed by the New York Times as a “one-woman studio band” and by Tiny Mix Tapes as “the best moments of Stereolab or Frank Ocean’s ‘Endless,’” performs a set of spiritual music exploring the complexity of grief and the audacity of joy.
Lead by composer and multi-instrumentalist Taja Cheek, L’Rain puts on a special performance as a quartet, with Ben Katz on saxophone + keyboards, Devin Starks on bass, and Buz Donald on drums + electronics. |

The Roaring Twenties |
|
As the Western world turned giddy with 1920s post-war optimism, composers fed the cultural fires with an astonishing array of newly-conceived musical ideas. Gershwin painted his Parisian experience with a piano duo, Janá?ek confessed his secret passions in a string quartet, and Korngold released a torrent of post-romantic music that would find its way to Hollywood’s biggest screens. |
