SUMMARY:Bill Orcutt\, Wendy Eisenberg Duo Drainolith Setting
LOCATION:La Sala Rossa
URL:https://www.rave.ca/en/event/55756/
DESCRIPTION:A co‑founder of the cult noise‑rock group Harry Pussy\, Orcutt has since built a\nwidely acclaimed solo career. His work has been recognized by WIRE\, NPR\, The\nGuardian\, and Rolling Stone. Maintaining an active international touring\nschedule and frequent collaborations with leading improvisers and experimental\nmusicians\, Bill Orcutt continues to push the expressive limits of the guitar\nwith uncompromising intensity.\n\nWendy Eisenberg is a key figure in contemporary independent music\, renowned for\nthe multiplicity and fluidity of her practice. A singer\, improviser\, and\nvirtuoso guitarist\, she navigates freely between art-rock\, jazz\, folk\, and\nradical improvisation\, constantly blurring the lines between forms.\n\nSignificant albums such as Auto (2020) and Viewfinder (2024) attest to an\napproach deeply committed to risk and experimentation. Rejecting any\nspecialization\, Wendy Eisenberg champions a simultaneous practice of punk\,\nimprovised\, and composed music\, making eclecticism not an aesthetic choice\, but\nan artistic necessity.\n\nSetting is a North Carolina Piedmont–based trio featuring Jaime Fennelly\, Nathan\nBowles and Joe Westerlund\, musicians known for their work with projects\nincluding Mind Over Mirrors\, Califone\, Black Twig Pickers\, Pelt\, Sylvan Esso and\nJake Xerxes Fussell. Grounded in a deeply collaborative approach\, the group\ncreates inventive\, richly textured improvisations shaped by shared intuition and\nflow.\n\nCombining synthesizers\, cassette loops\, banjo\, keyboards\, zithers\, electronics\nand percussion\, Setting builds tactile sound worlds where earthy rhythms meet\nmoments of celestial lift. Their self‑titled album on Thrill Jockey stands as a\ndefining statement of improvisational fluency paired with compositional focus\,\nharnessing the euphoria of communal creation.\n\nPerhaps best known for his guitar playing in the Montreal noise-rock band AIDS\nWolf\, Alex Moskos has been producing records under the name Drainolith since\n1999. He has released countless cassettes\, CDRs & 7" records on various labels\nculminating in two full length albums: 'Fighting\nhttps://mmxrvr.clicks.mlsend.com/ty/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjY2OTAwMyxcImxcIjoxNTM4NDY4MjM2MDYyODk5MjYsXCJyXCI6MTUzODQ2ODQzNDc1NzU2ODEzfSIsInMiOiJjODk5N2NiMjVkYzVmMmE4In0'\n(2012) on Spectrum Spools and 'Hysteria\nhttps://mmxrvr.clicks.mlsend.com/ty/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjY2OTAwMyxcImxcIjoxNTM4NDY4MjM2MTA0ODQyMzMsXCJyXCI6MTUzODQ2ODQzNDc1NzU2ODEzfSIsInMiOiJhZGVhY2IwNDViODBmNTQ1In0'\n(2015) on NNA Tapes.\n\nMore recently Moskos has performed and recorded alongside Max Eilbacher (Horse\nLords) and Duncan Moore as SEF III\, and with Nate Young\, John Olson and Pulitzer\nPrize winning composer Raven Chacon as The Difficult Messages Band. He has also\nplayed alongside Neil Hagerty (Royal Trux)\, Charles Balas and Nate Young in\nDan’l Boon (Drag City). Moskos is an amateur historian and works in community\nradio at CKUT 90.3FM - Montreal’s oldest freeform radio station. He lives in\nHochelaga\, an east end neighbourhood of Montreal with artist Jessica Mensch and\nBoots The Cat. 2026 Drainolith also features the amazing talents of drummer\nDestiny and guitar goddess Rián Adamian.\n\n\nNegative Capabilities will be launching their first zine—a new print venture\ndedicated to outsider guitar and left-field acoustic sounds. Copies will be\navailable at the venue. An interview with Wendy Eisenberg in conversation with\nAlex Pelchat is in this premier issue.\n\nSOURCE: https://montreal.askapunk.net/event/bill-orcutt-wendy-eisenberg-duo-drainolith-setting/
