James Corrigan has spent over 20 years in NYC composing, recording, and performing a wide range of music, such as free jazz, electronic, generative minimalist pieces as well as song-based work.
With the desire to dive into an exploration of earnest song writing, Corrigan assembled a live band called Take Time. Taking cues from some of his musical heroes such as J Spaceman and Sonic Boom, Brian Wilson, Lou Reed, Harry Nilsson, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Judee Sill, and The Zombies, he set out to write, perform, and record The Lord Don’t Run. Corrigan creates a pastiche of sounds and influences that tell stories of fictional archetypes both familiar and exotic.
Black Currant is the avant pop project of Kingston based artist Kelly Martin. They will be previewing new material in anticipation of the release of their first full length album, Fast Ceremony, out later this year. Black Currant builds alien worlds with eclectic sounds, multi-layered textures, pulsing dissonant rhythms. There are haunting vocals, mantra-like choruses, cut with tiny doses of controlled noise. Both familiar and strange, these new songs draw from the subconscious, from dreams, spirit walks, altered states.
Slow Fawn is a collective band of collaborators centered around Sam Cohen (multi-instrumentalist and producer). Regular collaborators are Cochemea, Stuart Bogie, Oliver Hill, Photay and Makaya McCraven. Several albums are slated for release later this year.
