Glenn Branca wants you!
Just got this in an email. If you're a seattle guitarist/bassist, this looks like an awesome chance to be part of a major miasma of noise.
If you're not familiar with Glenn Branca, he is a composer who's worked with Sonic Youth, among others, to produce huge huge soundstorms of guitars. "Devil Choirs at the Gates of Heaven" is one of my favorite pieces ever. Here's his last.fm page if you're curious to how he sounds: link
CALL FOR 100 MUSICIANS!! (guitarists & bass players)
SAM at 75 Party in the Park
Glenn Branca's "Symphony No. 13 (Hallucination City)" for SAM'sParty in the Park at the Olympic Sculpture Park
New York composer Glenn Branca is seeking 80 guitarists and 20 bass players to volunteer for his upcoming monumental performance of "Symphony No.13 (Hallucination City)". This performance will be in Seattle on May 16 for the Seattle Art Museum's Party in the Park, a fundraising event celebrating the museum's 75th Anniversary.
There will be two rehearsals on May 14th and 15th each lasting from 11:00am to 9pm. Additionally, there will be a sound check on the afternoon of May 16, prior to the performance at the Olympic Sculpture Park.
It will not be possible to monetarily compensate musicians, so all musicians will be volunteering their time. Food and drink will be supplied at all rehearsals and the performance.
All musicians must be able to read standard staff notation and follow a part measure by measure.
Party in the Park, SAM's rock-and-roll birthday bash, will be at the Olympic Sculpture Park on May 16. Party in the Park will showcase Branca's "Symphony No. 13 (Hallucination City)", along with other exclusive artistic and entertainment experiences, cocktails, party fare, and excitement throughout the evening.
For more information about volunteering as a musician contact glenn AT NOSPAM glennbranca.com <mailto:glenn@glennbranca.com> and you will be sent detailed information. | |

I could never really get into Branca... Esp weird since I really go for that sort of thing. On paper I should love it. Anyway, these sorts of guitar army events a la Rhys Chatham are prolly going to be fun no matter what if only for the sheer volume. Go see Rhys instead tho if you can at some point.

I personally love everything he's done. Symphony No. 3 "Gloria", music for the first 127 intervals of the harmonic series, is just incredible to me...so emotionally rich...it feels like music of the spheres to me.

I'm probably just guilty of not spending Quality Time (TM) with his work - happens to me too often. I just need to put the work in!
Should I start with Symphony No 3?
