Ok, I had to tell you guys about this show because this will not be a
disappointment. As part of a grant, there is going to be an awesome
show at RedHouse at the end of October that should not be missed. We
have had Chris Corsano here a couple of times, and his duo with
Michael Flower is one of my personal favorites. So here is the
skinny, and really try to make it out to this one:
Ashtray Navigations
Flower-Corsano Duo
Thursday, October 29
9PM
$15 General Admission
$12 Students and Seniors
Red House welcomes Psychedelic Noise Project from UK!
Red House Arts Center has become a standout venue in Central New York
for experimental
musicians, hosting Alva Noto & Byetone from Germany, mudboy from
Providence, and Zach Layton,
MV Carbon and The Loud Objects from New York City. This trend
continues when Red House
welcomes Ashtray Navigations and the Flower-Corsano Duo from the
Termite Club in the United
Kingdom.
Phil Todd, inspired by the UK’s underground tape music scene, formed
Ashtray Navigations in
1994 in Stoke On Trent, England. The psychedelic noise project defies
easy categorization given the
diverse nature of Todd’s collaborators and the incredible breadth of
work Ash Nav has created. Ash
Nav consists of Phil Todd (guitar/electronics) and Melanie Delaney,
aka Ocelocelot (electronics).
"No matter how limited or impossible to find, every release by this
one-man-plus sideshow proves to be a
stimulating slice of homemade musical nirvana." – Foxy Digitalis
Michael Flower (shahi baaja, a modified electric version of the Indian
bulbul tarang) has been
involved in a number of solo projects and is best know for his work
with Vibracathedral Orchestra.
Chris Corsano plays drums and has performed with Paul Flaherty, Jim
O'Rourke, Björk, Evan
Parker, Jandek, Thurston Moore, Vampire Belt and Six Organs of
Admittance among others.
"In compositional breadth, in technical twinkle, in (a)tonal assault,
this is a deeply humbling record, the
inscrutable blueprint for progress." – Tiny Mix Tapes on The Four Aims
Ashtray Navigations and the Flower-Corsano Duo will perform at the Red
House Arts Center on
Thursday, October 29 at 9PM. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12
for students and seniors and

This tour of the Termite Club is made possible by a grant from Mid
Atlantic Arts Foundation in
partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring
Program.
