Weather Duo and Jaap Blonk – Live at Audio for the arts

Patrick Reinholz Leave a comment

Back on March 17th, Surrounded by Reality, Madison’s creative and improvised music home, had the Weather Duo and Jaap Blonk play a show together. It was awesome. The show was recorded and we decided to release our duo set as well as our trio set with Jaap as an album. Mine All Mine records was happy to help us put it out.

 

 

For us, this album goes back to our roots of totally improvised music. We had been getting into composition territory with our album From Field to Platter, but we have returned to improvising music while plugged into chains of effects and distortion. We had the great honor to improvise with Jaap Blonk for our second set. He agreed to do a set with us that night, we had never met him before and it was a magical experience.

I am about to embark on a tour with Anna Vogelzang for a few days. She is going to be going all the way to the east coast, but I will only be doing the first leg. This means that there are shows to announce. We will be playing locally this Saturday and next Saturday.

 

This sat. will be at the High Noon Saloon as an opening act for Ari Herstand. Music will be at 9pm.

We also have the honor of opening up for Sarah Bareilles at the Wisconsin Union Theater. It is going to be a blast!

Weather Duo feat. Jaap Blonk

On March 17th the Weather Duo had the opportunity to open up a Surrounded by Reality Event featuring Jaap Blonk, a Dutch spoken word artist who focuses on sound poetry and electronic music. It held at the Audio for the Arts studio in Madison and was a fantastic event. The Weather Duo played a 25 min set of improvised acoustic and electroacoustic music with many twists and turns followed by Jaap, who performed for nearly an hour. A highlight of Jaap’s set was his performance of Kurt Schwitters’ Ursonate. The Weather Duo and Jaap then combined forces for a short but sweet 12 min set. We are going to release both the Weather Duo set and the Weather Duo w/ Jaap Blonk set as an album in the very near future. Here are a couple of excerpts from that performance.

Excerpt from set 2 – Weather Duo & Jaap Blonk

Many Thanks to Steve at AFA for recording this!

It has been a busy week! Lots of press and a big Lovely Socialite show to cap it off. The local paper the Isthmus did a great piece on the band that you can read here http://www.thedailypage.com/isthmus/article.php?article=36332.

It was our CD release show, which is great because now our CD’s are available. They will be up, along with our single at www.mamrecords.com. Here is a pic from the show.

Also this week, the Isthmus mentioned my score for the film Just Breathe .
