Event
'Tribe Of Human and The Batteries Duo' at The Rover
The Batteries Duo, comprised of electronic musicians and trumpeters, Josh Frank and Gareth Flowers, along with choreographer Rani Welch, founder and Art Director of The Rover Soho, collaborate for the first time with live music/dance based on the Batteries Duo's album, Les Amusements.
Premiering at the same venue, the show will run Friday, September 17th, 8pm, Saturday, September 18, 8pm and Sunday, September 19, 3pm, at 41 Wooster Street, Floor 2, New York.
Be prepared...the show breaks through traditional notions of audience/performer roles. Dancers begin blocks away outside, stopping traffic, and drawing the audience in. From there the show seeps through the space and out onto The Rover rooftop, bodies atop the old brick, standing like city fixtures that move and hum. Culminating at the main stage will be Tribe of Human with live accompaniment from the fresh, uncanned, and fascinating new sounds of The Batteries Duo. www.thebatteriesduo.com.
The Batteries duo is the first and only electro-acoustic trumpet duo of it's kind in New York's creative music scene. Using primarily trumpets and samplers, the Batteries duo creates a unique breed of sound art. Drawing on inspiration from Medeski, Martin and Wood to DJ Spooky to Beirut, the Batteries duo combines found sounds and samples which they mashup with their virtuosic and vibrational trumpet playing to create a special and truly unique variety of nu jazz/indie/post-classicism. LesAmusements was released on July 1st 2010, and is now available.
The Rover Soho is a brand new gallery/performance venue with a vision to stretch your artistic arm, as well as your imagination.
