Tom Carter
American Sphinx
BCP Trio

$5-$10 Donation

Tom Carter is a guitar player best known for his work with acclaimed
psych-drone iconoclasts Charalambides. Since 2000, however, he has
become increasingly active as not only a solo artist but as a
collaborator. He has performed with improvising musicians as diverse
as Thurston Moore, Jandek, Tetuzi Akiyama, Matt Valentine, and many
others, as well as being a key member in groups like Badgerlore (with
Ben Chasny of 6 Organs of Admittance), Friday Group, Mudsuckers (with
Robert Horton and the Yellow Swans), and Zaika (with Marcia Bassett of
Double Leopards and Hototogisu). Carter's solo work covers a lot of
territory, but latter-day sightings show him to be concentrating on
looped guitar drones of immensely stacked beauty, with heaps of
psychedelic melodic content missing from the repertoires of many noise
and drone bands. His influences range from LaMonte Young to David
Crosby.

American Sphinx is one of many projects by New Thing Productions
founder Michael Hentz. This Syracuse/Ithaca duo features Jarek Miller
on drums along with Michael on guitar, loops and flute. Their music
combines elements of free jazz, psychedelic noise, and raga drones.
They are currently working on a new CD that will be available early
next year.
