SUMMARY:TAKAAT in Bellingham
DESCRIPTION:Our annual Fall renegade show is here\, and this time we’re excited to present the Saharan desert rock band\, TAKAAT!\nThis show will be held at a public outdoor location\, which will be announced with an e-mail to ticket holders on the day before the show! \nTickets available via Brown Paper Tickets:\nhttps://takaatbellingham.brownpapertickets.com/ \nTAKAAT (pronounced tuh-cot)\, meaning “noise” in the Tuareg language Tamashek\, is the trio of Ahmoudou Madassane\, Mikey Coltun\, and Souleymane Ibrahim\, also known as the rhythm section of Mdou Moctar. TAKAAT is sonic chaos\, improvisation\, freedom of exploration\, and the punk styles of bands such as Fugazi and Unwound\, all mixed together with the guitar music from the Sahel. \nTAKAAT started during soundchecks while on the road with Mdou Moctar when the trio indulged their shared love for amps cranked to 11 and the sound of blown out speakers. Towards the end of 2023\, the three started writing music together\, inspired by their shared experiences with the sounds and energy of Hausa bar bands\, gritty soukous\, and 2000s post-punk. The music of TAKAAT is intense\, dark\, and energetic. Deeply inspired by the DIY ethos of punk\, Ahmoudou\, Mikey\, and Souleymane capture that thrill of the new and the ecstasy of togetherness in these heavy rockers. TAKAAT follows in the spirit of the independent music culture that birthed hardcore basement shows\, bedroom tape labels\, and generator-powered pick-up wedding bands. \nTAKAAT is noise!\nhttps://purplishrecords.bandcamp.com/album/takaat-is-noise-vol-1 \nWe’re happy to be joined by the fantastic local guitarist\, John Swanke\, who will perform an opening set:\nhttps://johnswanke.bandcamp.com/

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Lori Goldston // Gibrana Cervantes
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS UNFORTUNATELY BEEN CANCELED DUE TO A COMPLICATION WITH THE HOST VENUE. We will be rescheduling a performance with Lori Goldston later this summer. \nThe AltLib Popup series will run through the summer\, presenting a series of roving popup events to continue supporting expansive art projects and dig deep for uncommon cultural exchanges\, while we search for a new space to ground our collective. \nFor the first installment\, we are proud to host: \nLori Goldston is a cellist; classically trained and rigorously de-trained\, possessor of a restless\, semi-feral spirit. She has been based in Seattle\, working as a musician\, composer\, improvisor\, producer\, writer and teacher. Her voice as a cellist\, amplified or acoustic\, is full\, textured\, committed and original. A relentless inquirer\, her work drifts freely across borders that separate genre\, discipline\, time and geography. \nGibrana Cervantes is a Mexican violinist and improviser. After being classically trained\, she has performed both in traditional orchestras and contemporary music groups. Her work as a violinist incorporates electronic sound processing to use noise as a composition tool\, mixing atmosphere with melody. She is the founder and curator of the sound gallery 316centro\, a space focused on bringing to light the different manifestations of sound art that mark musical life in Mexico City. \n$10 // Location TBA

SUMMARY:[Hyphen] // Worldwide Levitation
DESCRIPTION:This Friday continues our recent weekly tradition of hosting live backyard performances! This week the flavor is experimental rock music\, with two as-yet unheard acts\, including [hyphen] who describes himself as a one-man lo-fi electro-math-surf-wave project\, combining gameboy and drum machines with live guitar and keyboards to form a multimedia mindmeld. This will also be the debut performance of Worldwide Levitation\, formed during quarantines and performing a kind of bluntforce birdsong. DJ Leroy Sorry will be bringing out a box of records for the purposes of socialliy maligned mood music. Come for the noise and stay for the obtuse temporal shapes that excite your multiple lobes. \nPoster designed by Riley R.

SUMMARY:V.Vecker / Ruth Davidson & Jonathan Sherman Duo / Orgone Donor
DESCRIPTION:$8-12 supports the artists and the AltLib\nDoors at 7:30pm; Music at 8:00pm\nMarch 14th @ Alt Lib \nV.Vecker (aka Keith Wecker\, b. 1983) is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Vancouver\, BC\, Canada. He has been a member of the Vancouver experimental scene since 2006 and has been touring North America since 2009. He releases his music through his imprint Vancouver Free Jass + Drone Society and was a founding member of the Emergency Room. V.Veckers’ work is inspired by the commonalities he found in free + spiritual jazz\, electronic\, noise and drone music. His music can resemble a melting pot of any of these genres at a given time. His current work is based around saxophone loops and synthesizers working with a heavy interest in producing atmospheric experiences. Leading with free and improvisational ideas counter balanced with an interest in more formal compositional methods and electronic musics lead to a cross section of genres resulting in music familiar yet original.\nV.Vecker has participated in New Forms Festival\, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival\, the Living Things Festival\, and the Improvisation Summit Portland. He has shared the stage with Wolf Eyes\, Sarah Davachi\, Chris Corsano\, Hauschka\, Jessica Moss\, Nadja\, Sun Araw\, Thundercat\, Zs\, Anthony Braxton\, and Glenn Branca.\n\nhttps://vveckermusic.bandcamp.com/ \nRuth Davidson (Moraine) and Jonathan Sherman (Falling Up Stairs) will be performing a duet of spontaneous compositions for cello and drums. \nOrgone Donor is Dustin Williams (Tarsier Eyes) Riley R (The Sheen)\, and Alex Wolf (Twin Sibling\, Guillotine Eyes) who will be performing improvised electronic music with guitar pedals\, synthesizers and tape machines. \n~~~\nAltLib is always ALL AGES!\nNOTAFLOF

SUMMARY:Nachyn Choreve + Arrington de Dionyso
DESCRIPTION:After the sold out Sounds of Siberia concert\, Tuvan throat singer\, Nachyn Choreve returns to Bellingham! He will be performing a solo set\, followed by a duo performance with artist Arrington de Dionyso (Old Time Relijun)\, performing spontaneous compositions\, blending each of their influences together. \n$15 supports the artists and the AltLib\nDoors at 7:00pm; Music at 7:30pm\nTickets are limited and are available in advance via WithFriends: https://withfriends.co/event/3920760/nachyn_choreve_w_arrington_de_dionyso \nNachyn Choreve is a soloist in the Tuvan State Philharmonic and member of Tuvan psychedelic rock band Hartyga. Hartyga was founded in 2003 and represents the younger generation of Tuvan throat singers. They follow in the footsteps of the legendary Tuvan ethnic rock group Yat-Kha\, and in 2017 toured and recorded with Yat-Kha’s iconic frontman\, Albert Kuvezin. In September 2019\, Nachyn and Hartyga toured the US for the first time with Olympia-based artist Arrington de Dionyso. \nArrington de Dionyso (b. 1975) has lived in Olympia since 1992. A self-taught artist\, musician and linguist\, he is the founder of seminal NW post-punk bands Old Time Relijun\, Malaikat dan Singa\, and the avant-jazz ensembles This Saxophone Kills Fascists and Trance Music For Crows. He has performed and exhibited around the world and in 2015 his drawings were prominently featured as prints and embroidery in a fashion collection debuted by Saint Laurent Paris. As a kind of “punk ethnomusicologist” Arrington circumvents academic approaches in favor of building direct cooperative relationships with diverse musical cultures\, as an invited participant and active collaborator. His investigations of Jathilan trance music in Java\, and collaborations with groups such as Senyawa\, Karinding Attack\, and HMM have brought him to the forefront of the Indonesian experimental music scene\, and he has recently traveled to Morocco (Master Musicians of Jajouka) and Peru (instrument builder Dmitri Manga) to build similar connections linking the indigenous with the avant garde. In August of 2019 he traveled to The Republic of Tuva as the headlining “international” artist of the “Throatsinging in the Center of Asia Festival”\, performing at the National Theater of Kyzyl and collaborating with numerous local musicians and shamanic practitioners.
