9pm: Allen Welty-Green | 
| Atlanta-based composer/multi-media artist Allen Welty-Green was raised in Nashville, TN. He has been playing music, both solo and with various progressive and ambient ensembles since the 70's. Disillusionment with the music industry led him to explore the world of avant-garde dance & performance art in the mid 80s. This led to the formation of the Mind's Eye Performance Group with whom he toured extensively across the Eastern USA, performing his ambient synthesizer scores to surreal dance and movement theater pieces performed by Jason Litchford. Some of Mind's Eye's earliest performances were at the Space For Music events organized by Tony Gerber (of Spacecraft), another Nashville resident. Mind's Eye went on hiatus in the early 90s and Welty-Green relocated to Atlanta. He then formed Gnosis, an artistic cooperative with choreographer L.E. Udaykee. Gnosis has created a touring multi-media production, Reality Check (http://www.mindspring.com/~agmedia/reality.html). In order to perform the multi-layered Reality Check music live, he put together the post-progressive, new edge music ensemble Z-Axis (http://www.mindspring.com/~agmedia/z.html), which has now become a band in it's own right. Their debut CD, "Music From Reality Check" was released last year to uniformly glowing reviews. In addition to his work with Gnosis and Z-Axis, he has also collaborated extensively with many other dance and theater artists, including Seven Stages, Beacon Dance, Gateway Performance Productions, Cherie Carson, and the Teatr Nowy in Poznan, Poland. Among his musical influences, Welty-Green cites Peter Gabriel (especially his Passion album), Laurie Anderson, King Crimson, Steve Reich, Phillip Glass, Ozric Tentacles... and such progressive rock stalwarts as (old) Genesis and Yes. Allen used to write music reviews for Option Magazine before their demise. He also covered the Nashville alternative music scene quite extensively in the early 80's for The Nashville Intelligence Report, Grab!, and Trouser Press. |
10pm: Use Other Door | 
| Use Other Door was originally formed as a 4x4x5 song band by Veranika Hryn on electric guitar and vocals, and Dzmitry Zhykh on bass guitar and synthesizer. The potential was too wide to fit the 4x4x5 time signature songs. So we were looking for more space through collaborations with other people. Trying to help them recognize themselves as musicians and escape from their bachata lives into the Room. The Room was basically the same place as an open jam Share apart from being our bedroom. Plus all the instruments were provided. Anybody was welcome to come and play. It was a very fruitful period which resulted into several conceptual projects: WMandhalfofW duo, The Vasyls, Pink&Destroy, The Space Bullshits. Thanks to all that we found our sound and ended up being USE OTHER DOOR -- an experimental duo from The Republic of Belarus who currently reside in the United States. "You can never step in the same river twice..... but at least you can record it"--- the main conception of what we do. We no longer use the original set up of electric guitar, vocals and bass guitar. We make music using analogue circuitries, synthesizers, radiowaves, squeaky toys, lots of experiments..........,what not....... You see something -- it sounds, you play it-- then it plays you. "No hay banda.... no hay orquesta", nothing is prearranged........everything is pure electricity of the actual moment. The music is honest-harsh-electricity-ambient-drone-minimalism-Deus en machina-sound. The sound is music. Debut album "Electricity" was released in Belgium in May 2010 by FFHHH label. We are the regulars of NYC open jam Share. Web, shows, music. Always into new collaborations and explorations of new sounds.Would like to travel across the country with the series of concerts "In search for the other door" http://www.myspace.com/useotherdoor http://www.ffhhh.be/ http://www.share.dj/share/ |
