David
Dove, Chris Cogburn, Juan Garcia, Maria Chavez – ISSUE Project
Room $10
Tonight’s show at ISSUE Project Room features the return of
the most notorious improvisers in the state of Texas. David Dove
and Chis Cogburn, who often play as a duo, are joined by bassist
Juan Garcia and turntablist Maria Chavez. Dove and Cogburn, who’ve
performed in New York as a duo a few times in the past, are not
only musicians but organizers who are largely responsible for helping
create and nurture the state’s blooming experimental music
scene. Dove, who’s the director of the Pauline Oliveros Foundation
Houston, has imported dozens of prominent names in contemporary
music (Joe McPhee, Susie Ibarra, Peter Brotzman, Eugene Chadbourne,
etc.) to Texas since the 1990s - not only for rare live appearances,
but to educate inner-city youth in the ways of improvisation. Chris
Cogburn, who also wins indie points for his work with Jadek, is
the founder of Austin’s Creative Music Workshop, has also
played with and curated performances by a number of great avant
musicians. Juan Garcia lends his bass talents to both the classical
and contemporary realms. And Maria
Chavez distinguishes herself from other turntablists
by experimenting with needles and records in various states of disrepair.
A rare treat.
In addition
to recommended performances by Ikue Mori, Sisoe Obarra, Min Xiao-Fin,
and Okkyung Lee, The Roots, Tom Verlaine, a solo appearance by The
Notekiller's killer guitarist David First should also be killer.
