Silk Flowers disband & Shea Stadium live set



Impose have announced that Silk Flowers have disbanded. The trio leave in their wake a slew a recordings in the past few years, including the most recent posthumous release of Days of Arrest on Captured Tracks. Now in the apparent afterglow live jewels, such as this full-set from their record release party for their final full-length LTD. Form back in February at Shea Stadium. The night, curated by none other than Last Nights, also saw Mazing Vids, Soft Circle, & Images hit the stage for what was a pretty spectacular time of music & good vibes.

For those interested Ben Vida will be at Issue Project Room Thursday March, 16th performing his composition Piece for Difference Tones (interrupted) & (computer controlled) Analog Sound Objects, and for those who are not you should be. Vida has been an established figure in the music world for some time in Town & Country & his more recent Bird Show, while he is also a frequent collaborator, as some may remember his work with Soft Circle, who happened to play our awesome Silk Flowers Record Release Party.

The concert is on behalf of Issue Project's Emerging Artists Commissions, which as you may have guessed Vida is the fortunate recipient of. The press release for the event states that:

the new work focuses on the intersections between analog and digital sound synthesis systems. These systems produce what Vida calls "non-representational sound objects," which are generated in the inner ear rather than from an outside source. It is in these moments, when the inner ear-activating difference tones are punctured by analog exclamations, that a deeper spatialization is revealed and the listener's aural perception is expanded

Thanks to all who came out to the Silk Flowers Record Release last Friday (2/4)! It was a great time. Happy so many people came out for the party and got to check out all the awesome bands. Shea Stadium, our gracious hosts for the evening, recently launched their own website (liveatsheastadium.com) and will hopefully be providing audio of each set in the near future.

...Anyway big thanks to Shea Stadium, Silk Flowers, Soft Circle, Mazing Vids, R.A.F. & all who came out!


On another note...

Some of you may have noticed the changes to the blog. I've decided it best to widen my focus a bit you could say. First of all I've merged my other blog with this one, creating a sole site for everything that myself & LSTN (Last Nights) are up. This includes the random ponderings and whatnot.

I've also been in the habit of booking & promoting more and more show as of late, rather than putting out an endless stream of recordings that few will buy. Still reserving the right for the occasional LSTN release but mainly everything will go the route of shows as far as promotion stuff goes. Hopefully more fun and useful!

Peace
SD
