JOMF celebrate the release of their new album Earth Sound System, with support from Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), and Tara Jane O’Neil.
“The groups love and knowledge of folk and psychedelia is really to the fore on this collection…” -Edwin Pouncey, The Wire Magazine
Thursday July 7, 2011
8:00 pm @ The Hollywood Theatre
Tickets: $10.00
This performance presented by Nationale as part of the Sound and Vision series at the Hollywood Theatre, will be a unique opportunity to see the latest unfolding of the mutating cinematic poem, The Salem Singers. The film, originally created for an exhibition at the Cue Arts Foundation in NYC, by Tom Greenwood and Marion Curie, has been visually re-mixed, and will be presented with live sound by JOMF for this performance only.
“Viewers seamlessly connect disparate fragments through their imaginative participation. This process of smoothing fractured imagery into a fluid narrative occurs through the subjective projections each viewer brings to the piece. Greenwood’s skeletal plot is mythic in its ambiguity, instantly identifiable in its broad gestures of separation and loss.” -John Motley
Sir Richard Bishop-
Richard Bishop is a composer, improviser, and an intrepid explorer on electric and acoustic guitar whose work often reflects the shadow worlds of India, the Middle East, North Africa, and other points along the Gypsy trail. Attentive listeners may hear shades of Jimmy Page, Django Reinhardt, Sonny Sharrock, and Ali Akbar Khan in his playing. Others may hear the sounds of a train wreck or a swarm of bees flying into a buzz saw (it depends on the day). It hardly matters. Bishop has fused all of these and many other elements to forge a unique and inventive style all his own.
Tare Jane ONeil-
Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tara Jane ONeil creates melodic and experimental music under her own name and in collaboration with other artists, musicians, and filmmakers. Her work innately crosses genres and boundaries—drawings that morph from natural forms to linear abstractions, melodic songcraft melded with experimental noise; live performances that range from solo songing to large ensemble improvisation; and dance, film and theater scores-each telling the story in a dialect all their own. Though they spring from the same source, each piece takes a distinct form—several genies emerging from a single lamp.
