Thomas Anfield, a Vancouver artist and Butoh performer, and myself have been working on a 27 minute dance performance for 2008. We met once and planned out the dance, at the same time we made a hell of a noise with electric guitar (Thomas) and toy accordion (Lance).
the CD Chiaroscurious Blues
will be released by infrequency january 2008
This is a fascinating CD indeed. Lance Olsen and Thomas Anfield recorded a stream of consciousness session in the studio and the results are amazing. Using electronics, guitars and vocal elements all of these come together to make a very compelling work. What's particularly striking is the coherency of the resulting recording and the way it seems to have a natural ebb and flow. The title sums it up I think as there's an earthy kind of bluesy feel to the guitars coupled with the reverb laden, distant voices. An odd but very satisfying release that gets better and better with each listen.
