Lou Reed: Teatre Principal, Mallorca

Performing A night of deep noise (no vocals – no songs). Featuring: Lou Reed on processed and unprocessed guitars, Ulrich Krieger on tenor sax and live-electronics & Sarth Calhoun on continuum & live processing.

Rock music icon Lou Reed and sonic experimentalist Ulrich Krieger, and continuum and live processing specialist Sarth Calhoun take the stage together to improvise music and make soundscapes. They use guitars, saxophones, continuum, and an array of electronic treatments to venture into deep acoustic space, drawing on new music, free jazz, avant-rock, noise and ambient in a set of intense conceptual pieces and intuitive improvisations.

Lou Reed and Ulrich Krieger first met in 2002 for the premiere of Krieger’s transcription and arrangement of Metal Machine Music — Reed’s seminal guitar feedback epic — for the chamber orchestra Zeitkratzer. In 2007 and 2008, Reed toured with a new stage version of his 1973 rock oratorio Berlin, a work that was the subject of the stunning concert film by Julian Schnabel released in 2008. In 2009, Metal Machine Trio released ‘The Creation Of The Universe, a double CD recording of two special nights of concerts at the RedCat in Los Angeles. Lou Reed has also just reissued the classic Metal Machine Music album, re-mastered to the specs of the original quadrophonic master, on audio DVD, blu-ray and 180 gram double gatefold vinyl on his own label Sister Ray. Krieger, who has collaborated with artists from Reed and Lee Ranaldo to Phill Niblock and Merzbow, has been a member of CalArts’ music faculty since last fall. Sarth Calhoun is also a member of the Brooklyn-based electronic group Lucibel Crater.
