7:00 PM Collections of Colonies of Bees/slaughtermouse/Beautiful Weekend

COLLECTIONS OF COLONIES OF BEES
Collections of Colonies of Bees sweep in grandly, in billowing swarms
of sound, bourn aloft on a thousand wings of minuscule, elegant
detail. Guitars chime and soar; deft yet intensely focused percussion
propels towards an inevitable dawn; covering it all is a gossamer veil
of subtly nuanced electronica. Their CD Birds is joyous, epic
minimalism in exquisite registration, a sound that is dazzling – and
as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb.

slaughtermouse
Peppering the strings, hammers, and dampers of the piano with a
variety of objects, protean composer, performer and aural provocateur
Melissa St. Pierre, aka, slaughtermouse, transforms the instrument's
typical timbre and gives it a chance, an opportunity to reveal its
true nature. Add a EHX 2880 and it becomes a looped, layered, locked
extravaganza. In her adroit, gifted hands, it becomes not just a
percussion instrument, but 88 percussion instruments, each key a
portal to a new world of sound. Sparkling gamelans chatter; harrowing
voodoo drums call out in the night.
