Occasional DVblog contributor Brian Gibson‘s latest

collaboration, part band. For the band section, Junk
House Butt House, they (Brian and partner in crime
Camber Gleim) made a video, seen here. Brian’s
immeasurable talent is always a total pleasure
to experience in whatever form it takes.

We normally avoid posting our own work but this
time we’re going to make an exception.
Doron & I have a joint show at HTTP gallery & we’d like to
invite any DVblog readers in the area to come
along to the private view, this Friday, 16th January.
(Details on the HTTP site linked above)
I’ve posted a piece by each of us (which should
give you a feel for whether you’d love or hate us) but the HTTP
show is going to be a little different from our usual work
so please come along, have a drink, take a look & say hello…
Helmut Oehring – BlauWaldDorf
Blau Wald Dorf ( Blue Wood Village) (excerpt) (2001, 1.7MB, 53 secs)
The music of Helmut Oehring is like nothing you’ve ever heard.
A hearing child of deaf mute parents, he incorporates his early
experiences into the music he writes, which frequently features
sign language ( not in a token but a completely necessary and
integrated manner).
The actual sound world of the music, moreover, is suffused with a character that
must surely have been formed by those same early experiences -stringed instruments
are tuned down to points of almost unplayable slackness & there is a fragmentary and
distanced, almost walled-off, quality to it all.
If you’re intrigued by the clip it’s well worth checking out recordings of his stuff.
