LA Noise show compendium

[pancakespancakes]

Anyway, really looking forward to this one Sunday night. Pehrspace! I have been to the L'Keg next door a bunch of times, but never Pehrspace.

Mi Ami
Lucky Dragons
KIT
The Urxed
Oct 17th, 7:30 PM @ Pehrspace
325 Glendale Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA


Mi Ami are performing as a 2-piece now, sans drummer, so that should be interesting. KIT is from Oakland and they include George Chen and Vice Cooler (Hawnay Troof, XBXRX). The Urxed is Rob Barber from High Places and he makes really cool electronic stuff.

I didn't know that L'Keg is next door to Pehrspace. Sweet

[pancakespancakes]

Yeah that place is R.I.P. I guess... It burned down in February this year and they haven't got it back off the ground... Really weird basement place, but I saw some good sets there.

The Museum of Contemporary Art invites you to an outdoor performance of
PERSEPOLIS L.A. IANNIS XENAKIS

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 6
6PM
LOS ANGELES STATE HISTORICAL PARK
1245 N. Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 (map)
Free; no reservations required

In conjunction with the exhibition Iannis Xenakis: Composer, Architect, Visionary at MOCA Pacific Design Center November 6, 2010, through February 4, 2011, the first recreation of Xenakis’s legendary Polytope de Persepolis will be performed at Los Angeles State Historic Park. Adapted by German sound artist and Xenakis electronic music expert, Daniel Teige, Persepolis L.A. will involve six listening stations with eight speakers each. This performance will encompass more than 70,000 square feet of performance area within the 32-acre park.

Originally performed as the opening event of the controversial 1971 Shiraz Festival in Iran, Polytope de Persepolis’s electronic score has become a contemporary music classic. Based on historical documents from the Iannis Xenakis Archives, and created especially for this Los Angeles performance, this recreation will feature the recently restored eight-track music composition. The event will open with Xenakis’s first electronic work, Diamorphoses (1957), as a geological prelude.

Born in 1922, Xenakis was known for radical experiments, often involving mathematics or architectural paradigms, that helped change the complexion of contemporary music. His site-specific multimedia works are an unparalleled fusion of architecture, music, and light. For this performance, the audience will be invited to walk around the grassy expanse of the downtown L.A. park while the piece is in progress, to experience sound and visuals spatially, from different vantage points.

No seating will be provided. Persepolis LA will involve high volume levels and earplugs are recommended.

“Persepolis is neither a theatrical spectacle, nor a ballet, nor a Happening. It is visual symbolism, parallel to and dominated by sound. The sound—the music— must absolutely prevail.” Iannis Xenakis,1971

Also Xenakis related: http://www.redcat.org/event/ceait-festival-5 (i might come down for this depending on who is announced)

[wmgaretjax]

i should add that, without a doubt, the most incredible music experience of my life was hearing a 6 channel version La Légende d'Eer in a music hall with a proper sound system.

[TallGuyCM]

Can't go on Saturday, but the event in January looks intriguing.

[wmgaretjax]

[bmack86]

So many damn things going on this weekend. Blast it.

Also, the CalArts theater has fantastic sound.

[wmgaretjax]

Haters is old school. I saw them as a one-piece open for Thurston Moore at the Smell and it was good.

So so so so jealous.

[bmack86]

Seriously LA people, you just gotta meet up with me near downtown and I'll drive. This is so going to be worth the trip. One of the ultimate legends of outsider music playing his first show in southern California with one of the best punk rock bass players ever and one of the more intense drummers on the new LA scene. It's going to be incredible.

[TallGuyCM]

I'm in. Irvine's a bit of a trek, but not on a Saturday.
