| Ergo appears at the 55 Bar Ergo performs this Saturday, September 17, 2005, at the 55 Bar in Greenwhich Village, New York City. The blood of Aphex Twin, the bones of Ornette Coleman and the splintered soul of three lost pilgrims align to form the anatomy of Ergo. The collective sound of drummer Damion Reid, keyboardist Carl Maguire and Brett Sroka on trombone and computer, Ergo’s music integrates compositional detail with improvisational empathy, acoustic earthiness with avant-garde electronics, and plaintive melody with rhapsodic noise. From this weeks Time Out New York magazine, Steve Smith writes- ”Trombonist Brett Sroka, keyboardist Carl Maguire and drummer Damion Reid are all part of a generation for which Autechre and Sigur Ros are as pressing concerns as Armstrong and Sun Ra. That's certainly evident in the timbral sophistication, spacey contours and slinky grooves of the band's self-released debut CD, “Quality Anatomechanical Music Since 2005”, the cause for celebration tonight.”- Steve Smith, TIME OUT NEW YORK write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
