DEVIL MUSIC

Devil Music returns to MASSART with a new composition by guitarist Brendon Wood. The piece, tentatively titled "MOTORIK". written for 8 Guitars, 4 Bass Guitars and Drums, is largely inspired by the guitar ensembles of Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham, the pulses of Steve Reich, the indeterminacy of Terry Riley and the Moto-Rhythmic beats of Can, Kraftwerk and NEU!





THE BOWED METAL AND GLASS ENSEMBLE

Metal & Glass Ensemble is a Boston-based improvisational group with rotating membership. We create acoustic drone-based music with bowed cymbals and other metal objects, and glasses tuned to a just-intoned 23-note octave. This just scale, employing whole-number ratios akin to a natural harmonic overtone series, is the only formal tuning used in the group. The bowed metal generates its own shifting but interrelated pitch classes, while the instrumental players contribute using a variety of microtonal intonations. In this way the music is liberated from the 12-tone equal-tempered octave, and explores a broad spectrum of harmonic relationships. The ensemble uses a structured improvisational scheme (such as a chart or graphic score) to give each performance a specific form. In some cases the structure is conceptual, expressed through verbal imagery. The music itself evolves gradually over time, often conveying a meditative quality.



(RA)

(RA) features the synthesizer work of Robin Amos. Robin is best known to the Boston music scene as the synth player in the legendary art-punk band: The Girls, as well as being a founding member of the innovative post-rock band: Cul de Sac. His other bands were the experimental rock outfit: Shut Up, the short-lived goth band: Cry, and the on going recording doom band: Death of the Sun. (RA)’s music is best described as a unique blend of old school industrial, stoner psych, and fossilized doom.
