THE FLOWER-Corsano Duo, featuring drummer Chris Corsano, who has worked with Sonic Youth and Björk, will play DeBurgo’s on Monday at 8pm.
This Ghostown event begins with the avant garde sounds of Fuaimbhac. The duo of Anne Marie Deacy (Mirakil Whip, PLost ) and Vicky Langan (United Bible Studies, Female Orphan Asylum ) will be replicating, deconstructing, and exploring sound barriers through their experimental music.
Fuaimbhac will be followed by the primal drones of Wölflinge (Vicky Langan ) and Paul Hegarty, author of Noize/Music, A History Of.
Headliners on the night are the Flower-Corsano Duo, a musical collaboration between ‘kinetic’ drummer Chris Corsano and the Vibracathedral Orchestra’s Mick Flower on shaahi baaja (a Japanese banjo ).
The duo’s music is intimate and epic, raw and tender, featuring Eastern harmonics laced with discordance and melody. Speaking of his music and why he uses the shaahi baaja, Michael says: “I’m just jamming my own versions of ragas. When I was a teenager we used to listen to the Velvet Underground, Indian classical, flute music of Papua New Guinea, primitive blues. I guess all the music I make is vaguely informed by that period.”
Chris Corsano’s drumming is loose-limbed, intense, even melodic, he exposes the audience to sounds and rhythms that defy normality.
The Inedible Contraband, an open improv session, takes place at the end of the night.
