Locrian + Opening
Sat, Dec 9 2006
ï Locrian will be performing at the Empty Bottle Wednesday night (12.13.06) w/ Bloodyminded, Wilt, Oakeater, Sexual Freedom and Death Factory. Here is what the Chicago Reader had to say:
"Mark Solotroff, former Intrinsic Action power-electronics sleaze and current front man of BLOODYMINDED, has been making vulgar noise in Chicago for more than two decades now. Bloodyminded's latest release, Phases: Two (a limited CD-R on Solotroff's Bloodlust! label), is an abstract phalanx of targeted nastiness. The band applied what Solotroff calls "source control processing methodology" to live material from a recent tour, and the result sounds like a pack of snarling garbage disposals straining against their leashes. Local duo LOCRIAN specialize in electric ambient improvisation, playing the architecture as much as they do their guitars, old synths, and microphones--the sounds unfold differently in different spaces. They abuse their amplifiers with unusual sensitivity, caressing feedback into lovely musical shapes--one track on the recent self-released Chladni is called "Amps Into Instruments." Bloodyminded headlines; Locrian, Oakeater, Wilt, Sexual Freedom, and Death Factory open. 9 PM, Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western, 773-276-3600 or 866-468-3401, $7. --J. Niimi"
ï Also I will have some recent record sleeve drawings at Teti Gallery's "Salon des Dessins" opening this Thursday (12.14.06) 7-10pm at 2250 W. North Ave. on the 2nd Floor.
