13 de octubre 2014

On September 2011, Hassan Wargui (Imanaren) from south Morocco met the group Nettle from New York City in Tangiers. A week of collaborative songwriting and recording led up to a concert outside the Cinematheque de Tanger in the medina. This is "L'Avion", one of the songs they wrote during this time.

EXCERPTS:

He started doing DJ /rupture sets in Boston during the late 1990s. "Boston's extremely segregated," he says in his city's beautifully rounded, faintly Canadian accent. "And musical segregation was indistinguishable from actual segregation. You wanted to buy reggae, you had to take three buses to go to Dorchester. You wanted to hear house, you would only go to the house club. My style wasn't going to be the same all night long." Instead he drew on music from around the world: cumbia and baile funkfrom South America, dancehall from Jamaica, polyrhythmic ballads from Africa. You can hear the spirit of these genre-blind sets in subsequent generations of DJs, from Diplo and Erol Alkan, to Oneman andJackmaster.

In 2000, Clayton moved to Barcelona with his Spanish wife, became fascinated with Moroccan culture and formed a band called Nettle with violinist Abdel Rahal, cellist Jenny Jones and Khalid Bennaji on the lute-like guembri. "I was interested in acoustic instruments and having that beautiful sound, but pulling that into the computer for processing," he says. "And I wanted to create a space where the musicians were all equally uncomfortable. I'm interested in collaboration, but I'm interested in moments where the translation breaks down. You don't need 'fusion' – you can make it as old and friction-laden as you want."

His most recent project, Enkutatash እንቁጣጣሽ, debuted in Washington D.C. on September 11th, the Ethiopian New Year (Ethiopia uses its own calendar system), and featured a choir singing a musical rendition of the Homeland Security color-coded Threat Level changes superimposed with modified East African harvest songs for lute and voice.


Jace Clayton lives and works in New York City.

A rigorous conceptual framework grounds each project it moves across areas as diverse as software design, sculptural objects, or performance. Recent projects include Sufi Plug Ins, a free suite of music software-as-art, based on non-western conceptions of sound and alternative interfaces; and The Julius Eastman Memorial Dinner, a touring performance piece for grand pianos, electronics, and voice.
