I must say that I'm really glad that Greg Davis lives in Burlington. Not only is he an amazingly talented musician, he is also dedicated to bringing top-notch avant-garde acts from around the world to our small little arctic town. The Sun Circle/Wind-Up Bird show last month at the Green Door was a magical experience, and this Sunday's show featuring Jason Kahn & Jon Mueller is sure to be as well.
Jason Kahn + Jon Mueller
Kahn uses percussion and analogue synthesizer, and Mueller uses
percussion and cassettes. Both blur the realm of merely using
percussion instruments as devices to be struck. As on their recent
Formed Records recording, "Supershells," Kahn and Mueller take the
frequencies and textures of their instruments, and integrate them
into one seemless mix.
"Percussion is often subsumed within the densely swelling layers of
electronic and manipulated sound...to a remarkable degree with the
unstable, bottom-heavy, rather threatening electronic sounds which
are characteristic of this impressive set." - Brian Marley, The Wire,
UK.
Jason Kahn is a sound and visual artist based in Z¸rich. His work
includes drawing, sound installation, performance and composition. He
was born in New York, grew up in Los Angeles and relocated to Europe
in 1990. Kahn has performed both solo and in collaboration with
numerous other musicians worldwide, including Tetuzi Akiyama, Kim
Cascone, Dieb13, Arnold Dreyblatt, Kevin Drumm, Erik M, John Hudak,
Brandon Labelle, Jason Lescalleet, Christian Marclay, Norbert
Mˆslang, David Moss, G¸nter M¸ller, Jon Mueller, Toshimaru Nakamura,
Sachiko M, Sainkho Namtchylak, Evan Parker, Steve Roden, Taku
Sugimoto and Otomo Yoshihide and many others. Kahn has given
concerts at various festivals, art spaces and clubs throughout
Europe, North and South America, Japan, Korea, Israel, Turkey,
Russia, Lebanon, Egypt and Australia.
