unrecognizable now


Gearing up to our three year anniversary weekend, Holocene presents one of the world's foremost electronic producers, Jan Jelinek. From the delicately looped vinyl samples of his breakthrough album, Loop Finding Jazz Records, to the kraut rock grooves of his latest, Kosmischer Pitch, Jelinek's music combines organic textures with digital manipulation for startlingly original results. Tonight he'll perform with a live band including ~scape labelmate Andrew Pekler on guitar and Hanno Leichtmann on drums. Tonight also sees a very special return performance from our beloved Nudge, whose own mix live instrumentation and laptop should match Jelinek's nicely. Unrecognizable Now opens the night with crafted electroacoustic ambience. Please join us.

jan jelinek: Berlin-based Jelinek is a tireless DJ, musician, producer and remixer. He collaborates with artists like Sarah Morris and author Thomas Meinecke, performs club live sets on his laptop as Farben or collaborates with improvisation ensembles like the Japanese trio Computer Soup and Australian jazz formation Triosk (see also their joint ~scape release, Triosk meets Jan Jelinek “1 + 3 + 1”, 2003). After a successful Australian tour and a number of European shows in 2004, Jelinek and Triosk have now planned a string of concerts for 2006. “Kosmischer Pitch”, too, will be aired as a trio. Together with multi-instrumentalist Andrew Pekler (known to many by his alter ego Sad Rockets) and drummer Hanno Leichtmann (Static, White Hole, VSQ) he aims to establish a dynamic balance between group improvisation and an adequate representation of the album. Furthermore, during the last few years Jelinek has intensified his collaborative efforts with video artist and programmer Karl Kliem. As part of their audiovisual performance Kliem generates synchronized graphics to Jelinek’s music. A DVD release is in the planning for next year.

nudge: Nudge has been a working group for five years, centered around Brian Foote (who runs the Outward Music and Audra Glint labels), Paul Dickow (also a solo artist who works under the name Strategy) and Honey Owens, a member of Jackie-O Motherfucker and programmer at the Dunes Club in Portland. Nudge works through marathon improvisations and edits that cohese into perfectly formed future musics. Merging live instrumentation and singing with programmed material, Nudge play what most artists working in electronic music sequence. Maybe this is what accounts for the remarkable warmth at the center of Nudge's complex technologies.

unrecognizable now: unrecnow's debut album is complete and mastered. an enhanced cd with a video is coming in summer on the pehr label.
