Here they are for a concert recording invited by the New York label RPR (Relative Pitch Record) who asked Ig Henneman to propose music for a new CD. Free improvisation it will be. The line-up is: Ig Henneman (NL) viola, Jaimie Branch (VS,NY) trumpet and Anne La Berge (NL/VS) flutes.

our history:
The absolute joy of creating crazy music – an afternoon in Amsterdam November 2017
Amsterdam based flutist Anne La Berge, one of my all time favorite improvisers, happened to be free that very afternoon.
Through the internet I had heard Chicago journalist Peter Margasak talk about trumpeter Jaimie Branch and I checked out some of her music; a wonderful musician, sincere passion she is. Months later my dear NY colleague saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock brought us together with the email message: ‘Ig and Jaimie I want to connect you two’. There is no better combination that I could have gathered for this Saturday afternoon adventure in my home. The perfect match. The absolute joy of creating crazy music.
–Ig Henneman

Anne La Berge invited us to play in Splendor Amsterdam for this occasion: the ideal venue for our acoustic trio.

Van garage-rock en no-wave tot cocktail-jazz: alle remmen gaan los bij Ceramic Dog met Marc Ribot, voorheen gitarist bij Tom Waits en Elvis Costello.

De Amerikaanse gitarist Marc Ribot kan met iedere stijl uit de voeten zonder zijn identiteit te verliezen. Zijn kenmerkende gruizige licks lijken overal bij te passen, van Cubaans tot country. Het grote publiek kent hem van albums van Tom Waits, Elvis Costello of The Black Keys. Hij begon zijn carrière in de New Yorkse underground, bij Lounge Lizards en John Zorn. Als zelfbenoemde outsider in de jazz was desondanks een week lang headliner in de jazztempel Village Vanguard, iets wat alleen voor een select clubje bandleiders is weggelegd.

Ribot speelde het Bimhuis al vaker plat met Ceramic Dog. Dit energieke trio verrast voortdurend. Alles kan voorbijkomen, van hoekige songs en uitbundige rock-riffs tot een grillige versie van de jazz-klassieker Take Five. Multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily (o.a. Will Oldham, Colin Stetson) kan zomaar switchen van ruwe basgitaar naar een vrolijk orgeltje. En drummer Ches Smith wisselt stevige backbeats af met elektronisch experiment. Dit voorjaar kondigden ze een nieuw album aan: YRU Still Here?

‘Ceramic Dog is formed in Mr. Ribot’s aesthetic: cranky, skilled, broadly capable, abrasive. He’s a great guitarist who usually seems as if he doesn’t want to be understood as such. This could be a great rock band, but it won’t play by your notions of what that is’ (New York Times).

–“tzZiiiY, are we in heaven yet?” by Maria Mavridou (GR-NL) -movement , Arvind Ganga (NL) -electric guitar and objects

“tzZiiiY, are we in heaven yet? is a performance that starts with two individual beings and their two distinct languages (movement and sound) that gradually find a way towards each other in order to create a common ground for play. Adding layer after layer to their relationship, through playfulness and confrontation, entanglement and separation, gentleness and friction, they both (ab)use their respective media in all ways imaginable in the (sometimes desperate) attempt to reach a common plane and create a shared dream that everyone can be part of.

–“All at Once” Movement: Kristina Johnstone (ZA) , Thalia Laric (ZA) and Manuela Lucia Tessi (IT-NL) , Music: Coila-Leah Enderstein (ZA-DE) – piano and electronics

All At Once is a study of time using the concept of improvised unison. How can four performers share a thinking place while composing sound and movement in a performance? The work conjures time as it asks the performers to be attentive to the present and near past as they try to predict the future. Through this attention to the tracking of time, a particular quality of presence is exposed.

-“Pasionaria” Concept/movement/sound: Javier Murugarren (ES-NL), Sound: Assaf Weitz, Manolo Artiles

Pasionaria is the first staging of a current physical and sound investigation that uses darkness as a search for the connection of space and time with other planes of perception beyond vision, beyond image. �The fuzzy body and the tenuous space, the areas of penumbra and the lateral poetic attacks are some of the ideas that will be shown in the evening. Thanks to AFK for making this work possible.
