Poison Ring
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Thursday, Dec 28 › 9pm › $5
NOMMO OGO, MYRIONYMOS MARIONETTE (with soundtrack by POISON RING), and IN THE DEEP MUSEUM
Ah, such rare and pretty creatures roam the underground! Nommo Ogo are a legend in the world of abstract electronic music, co-founders of the Katabatik Metacommunications Platform, stalwarts of the Autonomous Mutant Festival, shadowy monks of the warehouse monastaries of Oakland. I only know of them playing Portland twice in the ten years I've lived here. Here's show number three. Myrionymos Marionette and In The Deep Museum are two very different projects, born from the common roots of a butoh dancer and musician stepping out of their familiar backgrounds to form a cohesive music and performance project. The former is headed by brYan leFey (with music from another of Mssr. leFey's alter egos, Poison Ring), the latter by Vanessa Skantze. The former is intricate and electronic and turntable-based, the latter is rugged and tribal and drum-infused. All three are like arrows aimed at the base of your spine, where understanding waits to be awakened.
About the artist
Your composer unearths these dusty relics for you. Technological fossils. The old renewed. The dust of past lives revived. The dust of memory recalled. Coils bridged and etchings redrawn.
What impressions lay hidden? It is the dust of potential. The dust of unborn fruits. The commonest substance. It evermore scatters and resettles.
And from the dungheap we reap!
