TILT CORE: Studies in Motion & Velocity - January 28th, NYC
Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars'
TILT CORE ~ STUDIES IN MOTION & VELOCITY
Music for a Theater Space
Wednesday, January 28th at 8:00 PM
Alchemical Theatre Laboratory
104 W 14th Street, New York City
House opens at 7:30 - $5 at door
Performers: Patrick Grant, Dan Cooper, Matt Grossman, John Halo, Randolph Hudson III, Jeremy Nesse, Cesare Papetti, Reinaldo Perez, & Daniel Reyes-Llinas
TILT CORE is an ensemble drawn from the larger group of NYC performers in TILTED AXES: MUSIC FOR MOBILE ELECTRIC GUITARS in 2014 as a means to explore and experiment with new material. Its smaller size, 5-9 members, enhances musical and practical possibilities. Outside of the larger processional projects, Tilt Core is a more agile and easily presentable ensemble as well a its members serving as the creative catalysts for future Tilted Axes work.
STUDIES IN MOTION & VELOCITY is a performance inside of a theater. This gives the group an opportunity to use the space in a combination of mobile and stationary formations. They will perform new music as well as other pieces from the Tilted repertoire in the form of a narrative. This is the challenge.

A Preview Performance of New Material
Wednesday, December 17th at 10:00 PM
Carta Azul Taqueria & Ceviche Bar

FREE ADMISSION
Performers: Patrick Grant, Dan Cooper, Matt Grossman, John Halo, Randolph Hudson III, Jeremy Nesse, Cesare Papetti, Reinaldo Perez, & Daniel Reyes-Llinas
Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars was created in 2011 by composer/performer Patrick Grant for Make Music New York's inaugural Make Music Winter solstice event. Since then, Tilted Axes has evolved as a project with multiple incarnations in New York, Detroit, and Düsseldorf, Germany. In 2015 the project will manifest itself in performances created in the USA, Europe, and South America.
After performing three years in a row for the December 21st Make Music Winter events, a conscious decision was made to sit this one out in order to prepare for the work ahead in 2015. We will be back!
TILT CORE, in its original intention, is an ensemble drawn from the larger group of performers as a means to explore and experiment with new material without the constraint of an immediate public performance. Its roster can, and should, change seasonally. Tilt Core’s smaller size comes from the concept of "the magic number seven plus or minus two" a.k.a. Miller's Law, the number of objects an average human can hold in working memory. This smaller size, 5-9 members, enhances Tilt Core’s musical and practical possibilities. Outside of the larger Tilted Axes projects, Tilt Core will be a more agile and easily presentable ensemble.
Why this performance then, if performing was never an intention? It is a preview through which all of the standard criteria of an official performance will apply. In whatever city Tilted Axes performs, we discover a local establishment where we can eat, drink, and hold our post-rehearsal discussions. "Where Tilted Axes Relaxes" is how it’s come to be known. In the case of Tilt Core, it’s been Carta Azul Taqueria & Ceviche Bar, directly across the street from the Alchemical Theater Laboratory where Tilt Core rehearses. The owners of Carta Azul, having gotten to know us well over the past couple of months, generously offered us their place to have an informal performance. In other words: it came to us. This performance will bring to completion this phase of Tilt Core 1.0. The project’s 2.0 incarnation will begin early next year.
So here we are, ready to rise to this performance challenge. If you are free, please join us and get a taste of everything Tilted that's in store for the New Year.

Ten Years of Living on the Edge (of Manhattan)
It's almost hard for me to believe that today marks a decade since I moved into Waterside Plaza on NYC's East River. It remains one of the finest (sic) examples of the architectural style known as Brutalism, probably because no one wants to make anything this fugly anymore. It resembles what I imagine a grad dorm in the Eastern Bloc would have looked like. 10 degrees cooler in the summer and, yes, 10 degrees colder in the winter. No complaints. After my checkered past of theater basements and semi-guest status in other peoples' wonderful apartments, I'm happy and grateful to have had any sustainable and fixed address of my own. For what it's worth, I own my soul again. [this reflection over, he writes the rent check for the month]

Back in the U.S.S.R.S.
*Extremely* happy that United Sound Systems Recording Studios has signed on as a supporter of Tilted Axes: Detroit (313) and will be hosting our dress rehearsal (tour included).
http://unitedsoundsystemsrecordingstudios.com/
United Sound Systems Recording Studios is more than just a Recording Studio – it is an institution which birthed a musical legacy which we still thrive upon. Established in 1933 by Jimmy Siracuse, it became the first independent and full service major recording studio in the nation and created a platform which gave artists, musicians, writers, and producers the ability to record music, cut the record and get airplay without being signed to a major label. What started as a hub for commercials and advert jingles, in the 1940s would become where Charlie Parker, Max Roach & Miles Davis recorded BeBop Jazz Standards, and John Lee Hooker recorded ‘Boogie Chillun’. Thereafter, artists such as Little Willie John, Jackie Wilson, and then songwriter Berry Gordy, who recorded Tamla/Motown’s first release at United Sound Systems in 1959; Marv Johnson’s ‘Come To Me’ (Tamla 101).
Throughout the 1960s, United Sound became home to hits by Bob Seger (“Ramblin’ Gablin Man” & “Heavy Music”), The MC5 (“Back In The U.S.A”), and many of Detroit’s rock & roll luminaries. However, Don Davis, a producer who worked for Motown and Stax records would revitalize the Stax Records catalogue by recording albums such as Isaac Hayes’ “Hot Buttered Soul”, “Shaft”, and Johnnie Taylor’s “Who’s Makin’ Love”, and the Dramatics’ “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get” at United Sound. Don Davis purchased United Sound in 1971, and continued to nurture the studio that would then change the landscape of the music industry by producing the very first Platinum Single – Johnnie Taylor’s “Disco Lady”.
In the 1970s United Sound Systems was a revolving door for the who’s who of the industry elite (such as Gladys Knight & The Pips, Albert King, and Al Hudson & One Way), but also a then local rock band called “Death”, who created a sound so far ahead of its time that it recently gained recognition. That was also the era that George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic created the sound that became known as “P-Funk”. Songs like “Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)”, “Mothership Connection”, “Flashlight”, “One Nation Under A Groove”, “(Not Just) Knee Deep” and “Atomic Dog”, are still as infectious as they were when they were created at United Sound. Also, P-Funk bands such as Bootsy’s Rubber Band, The Brides Of Funkenstein, Parlet, Fred Wesley & The Horny Horns, ) all recorded their major works here, well into the 1980s, when George Clinton discovered a band called “The Red Hot Chili Peppers” and recorded their first major album ‘Freaky Styley’ here at United Sound.
Within the 1980s and 1990s, pivotal moments which happened at United Sound seem to be out of a fairy tale: Paul Riser, the famed arranger for Motown, conducted the orchestra for hits like Luther Vandross’ ‘A House Is Not A Home’ and R-Kelly’s ‘I Believe I Can Fly’. Also, The Rolling Stones Joined miss Aretha Franklin for an updated version of their hit “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.”
The list of artists and timeless hits that came from within the walls of 5840 Second Ave., Detroit, Michigan is so staggering it’s unbelievable. “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye. “More Bounce To The Ounce” by Roger Troutman & Zapp. “Sisters Are Doin’ it For Themselves” Aretha Franklin & The Eurythmics, “Rapture” by Anita Baker, “Real Love” by the Doobie Brothers. Garage Rock to Gospel and everything in between – This is where the music industry got it’s standard.

Just announced: TILTED AXES: DÜSSELDORF - Musik für Mobile E. Gitarren
TILTED AXES: DÜSSELDORF
Musik für mobile E-Gitarren
Prozess & Prozession
Anlässlich des 15. Jubiläums des FFT
09. -13. September 2014
„Tilted Axes“ ist eine Art Wiedergeburt der traditionellen Marschkapelle des 21. Jahrhunderts: ein großes Ensemble aus elektrischen Gitarren, die mit mobilen Mini-Verstärkern ausgestattet sind und von Schlaginstrumenten begleitet werden. Nachdem das Projekt in New York City und Detroit mit großem Erfolg durchgeführt wurde, bringt sein Initiator, der New Yorker Komponist und Musiker, Patrick Grant, das Projekt nun auf Einladung des FFT nach Düsseldorf.
Aus Anlass des 15. Jubiläums des FFT eröffnet das Theater am 13. September 2014 seine Spielzeit mit dieser ungewöhnlichen musikalischen Prozession im öffentlichen Raum. Dabei werden die beiden Spielstätten FFT Kammerspiele und FFT Juta Start- und Endpunkt der Prozession bilden.
Patrick Grant wird passend zur Stadt und Thematik mit lokalen Musikern neue Musikstücke für den feierlichen Umzug von den FFT Kammerspielen ins FFT Juta am 13. September erarbeiten. Die Performance widmet er der Landeshauptstadt und dem 15-jährigen Bestehen des FFT Düsseldorf. Ergänzt werden die neuen Musik durch Stücke aus dem Repertoire der TILTED-Reihe.
Um einen Platz im Ensemble kann sich jeder bewerben, der sowohl eine E-Gitarre besitzt, als auch Noten lesen kann. „Tilted Axes“ ist eine Kombination aus Theater-Musik, Straßenperformance und zeitgenössischer neuer Musik.
Jeder ist eingeladen, Teil der musikalischen Prozession zu werden – ob als Musiker, als Zuschauer oder als Passant.

"You know that the master guitarist Robert Fripp runs a tight ship, so when he gathers an orchestra of guitarists, the results will surely be super-disciplined… and mind-boggling. What he does with his fellow Crafty Guitarists deviates from the florid, torrid prog rock he manifested with the legendary King Crimson.
Rather, Fripp and company create massive minimalist compositions that flow and swarm with the manic intensity of certain Philip Glass and György Ligeti pieces, but realized with acoustic guitars. Fripp’s crafty Orchestra members have been known to wander around concert halls or assemble in circles while playing their intense, oscillating drones and stark, needling passages. As with anything Fripp touches, the results should be challenging and stimulating." - DAVE SEGAL

Robert Fripp & The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists IX
Pacific NW Tour Dates Announced
Robert Fripp & The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists
What is The Orchestra Of Crafty Guitarists?
One possible answer is a lot of people making a lot of noise with guitars. Sometimes they even perform in public, as in Spain, Italy, Argentina, and in the USA, in places like Boston, New York City, Bellingham, Portland, and Seattle.
Another possible answer is a specialized study in the self-organizing properties of complex wholes. How does Intelligence act in and through many individuals, coming together as one? What if a high level of Conscious or Creative Intelligence needed to enter this world, what kind of body or vehicle would it need?
The global challenges we face, to be addressed by current and following generations, are beyond the capacity of individuals to meet. Solutions are more likely to be found in groups and networks than in the efforts of individuals acting alone.
The quality of solution required, to problems now of global proportion, is creative; that is, at the level of genius. The solitary, individual genius is, by definition, solitary and individual. The question, then, is how may we cultivate and develop group genius?
Come share in the magic that is the Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists!
