Gonggong 225088: ‘Niche Shift I’

New video (‘Niche Shift I’) from Gonggong 225088! As I wrote in the chat:

This was one of those videos that I almost decided against posting. ​​I think this one really highlights the discrepancy, or dissonance, between the visual and the auditory. ​​I felt like maybe uploading the video might take away from the magic of the listening experience (if that makes sense). ​​Reveal[ing] too much of the nuts’n’bolts and pulleys’n’curtains’n’backdrops behind the sounding processes. ​​Anyway, I love the pace—tides ebb’n’flow—that Yorgos and Camila created here. [More…]

What became ‘Niche Shift I’ was, for me, the key transitional passage from the album—the part of the performance that really caught the entire trio by surprise on the evening. Enjoy.

Gonggong 225088 at Parallel Universe, München

This Friday (October 18, 2024): Dream a little noisy, sweetly disquieting dream with Gonggong 225088 as Han-earl Park (guitar), Yorgos Dimitriadis (percussion and electronics) and Camila Nebbia (saxophone) perform as part of Parallel Universe presented by Offene Ohren.

Gonggong 225088 entführt die Zuhörerschaft in eine Traumwelt voller Gegensätze: krachend-subtil, irritierend-melodisch, wundervoll dissonant.

Das international besetzte Trio… changiert mühelos zwischen Kulturen, mechanischen Effekten und tonalen Wechselwirkungen in einem beständig vorantreibenden Prozess. [Read the rest…]

The festival takes place at Schwere Reiter (Dachauer Straße 114a80636 München / Kreativquartier), and the event starts at 6:00pm (our set expected to be around 7:30pm). Also performing that evening are Espresso & Mud invites Ute Wassermann, and Le 7ème Continent.

‘Coefficient of Friction’ (#onetakestudy Nº 15)

Taking a short break from The Big Hustle, and all the extra-curricular activities that surround music (to borrow an expression from CT), to do this short improvisation. Enjoy the noise!

‘Inside The Box’ (#onetakestudy Nº 14)

Thinking in-the-box (I almost called this one ‘Four-By-Four’). A little something that I walked away with from my last performance. Not quite as… lyrical or inventive, I think, as what transpired at the gig, but it is a one-take. And a hat-tip to Richard Scott for mentioning EP last week.

‘Grade Separation’ (#onetakestudy Nº 13)

At Friday’s solo set I found myself in spaces I had not occupied in a while—some techniques I hadn’t really leaned into in years. I wondered, without prep, if I could make something from these. Enjoy!
