PROJECT 2012-2013

NED ROTHENBERG
THE SOLO WORKS
RE-SOUND AND RESOUND

17 March 2012

After his recovery from a devastating accident in 2010, Ned Rothenberg will return to the crux of his musical oeuvre, solo work, in 2012-13. The focus will be on sound and space, with a series of concerts in churches and other resonant and serene locations. Here the beauty and complexity of Rothenberg’s sound world can create a rich, sensual environment and the listener experiences visceral rather than just intellectual stimulation. These performances will offer an inviting alternative to today’s multi-tasking world. In addition to acoustic qualities, spaces will be sought where the audience can escape the conflicting energies of daily life and find singular focus. No clubs, no bars, no social hubbub. However, the goal is not just relaxation, it is a place where this unique music can speak in all its vibrancy.

" His solo outings have a near religious focus to them. You'll be entertained - his improvs are compelling on many levels. And you'll understand how dedication to craft can nurture larger questions of art and approach"
- Jim Macnie, Village Voice

" Yet ...none of these technical accomplishments is used simply for display...Rothenberg has his own expressive profile,... a plangent temperament and a sophisticated sense of musical structure.."
- Edward Rothstein, NY Times

May 2012 will see Rothenberg’s 6th release on John Zorn’s Tzadik label, World of Odd Harmonics. This cd is devoted to solo clarinet music and beautifully recorded in exactly this kind of resonant space, New York City’s Academy of Arts and Letters.

This booking will be handled internationally by Regina Greene of Frontporch Productions.

R.I.P. Hans Reichel

Hans was a true original - brilliant musician/improvisor, designer/inventor of the daxophone and many unique guitars as well as a beautiful line of fonts. I first saw him at Soundscape in NYC, I'm guessing in 1982, on a double-bill of solo sets with Steve Lacy.
