Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.<br \/>\n\u00a0 But this time a live concert in Bimhuis, Amsterdam. This venue, attached to<br \/>\n\u00a0 Muziektheater aan t IJ, is dedicated to jazz and improvisation. And that&#8217;s exactly<br \/>\n\u00a0 the corner in which the support act, Oren Marshall, can be put. This solo artist<br \/>\n\u00a0 continues to explore strategies for extending the tonal range of the tuba and<br \/>\n\u00a0 opening up a whole new vocabulary for this wind instrument. His groundbreaking<br \/>\n\u00a0 solo work led to a nomination for the BBC Innovation in Jazz award with his<br \/>\n\u00a0 composition &#8220;Introduction to the Story of Spedy Sponda; pt1: In a Silent<br \/>\n\u00a0 Room&#8221;. &#8220;How can just one tuba be entertaining enough not to fall asleep?&#8221;<br \/>\n\u00a0 you might ask. Well the answer could be found last night in Amsterdam. Through<br \/>\n\u00a0 his free jazz, Oren let the tuba do the talking. He didn&#8217;t say one word throughout<br \/>\n\u00a0 the show. He did use his vocal chords though. Just to make odd squeaks to add<br \/>\n\u00a0 to the collection of strange sounds he managed to get out of the tuba. He regularly<br \/>\n\u00a0 got the crowd laughing and was a good support act of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 I had seen Sleepytime Gorilla Museum before in this exact same venue and also<br \/>\n\u00a0 on the Headway festival this year. So I sort of knew what to expect from them<br \/>\n\u00a0 live. I hoped for a different set as compared to last time and that&#8217;s what I<br \/>\n\u00a0 got. Including new clothing. Would they make the same impression as last time?<br \/>\n\u00a0 Would they leave me evenly startled? Would the fact that it was a seated concert<br \/>\n\u00a0 again annoy me so much? We were soon about to discover.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 Ah&#8230; New clothing&#8230; And even more: they are opening up with a different song.<br \/>\n\u00a0 That&#8217;s promising. Was it because I wasn&#8217;t in the first row? Was it because I<br \/>\n\u00a0 know all songs by head meanwhile? It wasn&#8217;t as enchanting as last time. Nonetheless<br \/>\n\u00a0 this quintet plays awesome music and knows how to play the audience as well.<br \/>\n\u00a0 With their incredible range of instruments, of which many are selfmade, they<br \/>\n\u00a0 produced a brilliant cacofonie of sounds. Totally different arrangements were<br \/>\n\u00a0 concocted into compositions that cannot be put into one section. Were you to<br \/>\n\u00a0 look for a section in your local cd shop that you could pick up one of their<br \/>\n\u00a0 albums, you should not be surprised to find them in the jazz section as well<br \/>\n\u00a0 as the experimental or the metal corner. Besides playing Phthisis, Sleep is<br \/>\n\u00a0 Wrong, A Hymn to the Morning Star, The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity\u00a0 Opens\u00a0the Discussion, Ossuary, Babydoctor, The Greenless Wreath, Angle of Repose and<br \/>\n\u00a0 some more that I can&#8217;t come up with, they also played a new song called The<br \/>\n\u00a0 Grey Old Heron. Announced by the bass player, this song was about his father<br \/>\n\u00a0 who is dying of old age. Again new instruments that I had not seen before with<br \/>\n\u00a0 this band: the recorder (that wooden wind instrument, yes). Both the singer<br \/>\n\u00a0 and the bassist whistling on it and it was again a brilliant song. It got me<br \/>\n\u00a0 enchanted just like they did when I saw them last time. Although the overall<br \/>\n\u00a0 vibe wasn&#8217;t what it was back then it still was a brilliant performance and I<br \/>\n\u00a0 am really looking forward to the standing concert in P60 on the 13th of November.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oren Marshall Official<br \/>\nSleepytime Gorilla Museum Official<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support: Oren Marshall; Venue: Bimhuis, Amsterdam (NL) By: Wouter\u00a0van de Kamp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[261,352],"class_list":["post-129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-concertsfestivals","tag-261","tag-352"],"featured_image_url":[],"post_author":"Sabine van Gameren","assigned_categories":"Concerts\/Festivals","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
