DUBNOIZ SOUND SYSTEM
Dr Das is a bassist, producer and remixer and was one of the founder
members of Asian Dub Foundation. He left the band in 2005 to return to
his roots in experimental dub, rejoining in 2013. Throughout that time,
he worked on a heavier, darker form of dub:
« Dubnoiz » as he calls it, employs a minimalist approach-instrumentally
and compositionally-using only electric bass, percussion and noise
elements to satisfy all the rhythmic, melodic and even harmonic
requirements of the music. It’s a variant where there is a greater
emphasis on noise and distortion than the more traditional dub elements
of echo and reverb. As such, it immediately sounds more militant and
more provocative.

KEN VANDENMARK/FRED LONBERG-HOLM
Ken Vandermark (born September 22, 1964 in Warwick, Rhode Island) is an
American jazz composer and saxophone and clarinet player.
A fixture on the Chicago-area music scene since the 1990s, Vandermark
has earned wide critical praise for his playing and his multilayered
compositions, which typically balance intricate orchestration with
passionate improvisation. He has led or been a member of many groups,
has collaborated with many other musicians, and was awarded a 1999
MacArthur Fellowship.[1] He plays tenor saxophone, clarinet, bass
clarinet and baritone saxophone.
Chicago based cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm has played and studied music in
a variety of situations from the Juilliard School to the gutter. A
former student of Anthony Braxton, Morton Feldman, Bunita Marcus and
Pauline Oliveros, his primary projects are his Valentine Trio and The
Lightbox Orchestra. He is also a member of a number of ongoing
collective projects (The Boxhead Ensemble, The Friction Brothers with
Michaels Zerang and Colligan, The Flatlands Collective, Keefe Jackson’s
Fast Citizens)

SEVEN THAT SPELLS
It seems there’s a some sort of connection between Croatia and Japan
when it comes to prog rock. SEVEN THAT SPELLS were formed in Zagreb,
Croatia formed in 2003. The core of the band is Niko ‘Brain’ Potočnjak,
the guitarist, the producer (and also a member of TIGROVA MAST). The
band’s psychedelic style is clearly influenced with ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE,
they even collaborated with Makoto Kawabata (and Tsuyama Atsushi),
recorded an album together, and toured in Japan. On a side note, a
similar story happened to another band from Zagreb, TENA NOVAK (of
which, incidentally or not, Hrvoje Niksić on keyboards shared the
line-up), and they toured With Damo Suzuki… However, they started in
2003 as a trio – Tomislav Kalousek was on bass and Stjepan Jureković on
drums. They did their debut (which was remastered in ’05) and showed
their musical potential to the audience. In ’05 they signed for the
Russian RAIG label, a well known one among the Russian avant/prog
circles. The second album ‘My Mommy Wants To Kiss Your Mamma’was
released with Hrvoje Niksić reinforcing the band on synthesizers. The
first notable change in band’s line-up happened in 2006, when Tvrtko
Dujmović took a role of a bassist, Igor Potočnjak (any relation with
Niko?) swapped place with Niksić, and Mario Peretić took the drummer’s
seat. They released ‘It Came From The Planet Of Love’ that year (also
for Russian RAIG).

Thanks for reading.

I hope to hear from you asap.

Enjoy byour w-e.

Regards.
