Fusebox February Gigs - Entrepreneur Generations

Stuart McCallum 19 Feb

Protean Reality 7 Feb

Bill Chatwin writes - "we have two offerings in February which are at different ends of the spectrum of music that we try to offer.

On Sunday 7th February - Protean Reality will be appearing with music at the 'improv and beyond' end. Protean Reality are;

Chris Pitsiokos – alto saxophone,
Noah Punkt – bass,
Phillipp Scholz – drums

“Here is one more – and particularly notable – example of the most blasting jazz made today. Protean Reality is a trio using the conventional instrumentation born with hard bop and free jazz: sax, bass and drums. But there’s nothing conventional in Chris Pitsiokos, noah punkt, and Philipp Scholz’s approach. With a clear reference to the New York no wave scene of the Seventies, here jazz meets noise meets contemporary classical music. Mix Ornette Coleman, Sex Pistols and Iannis Xenakis in your mind and you’ll be close to what’s inside the package. Intensity, immediacy and forward propulsion are key words to describe this music, but there’s also lots of lyricism and abstract detail to deal with in the three long pieces of this CD".
