DANIEL HIGGS



"Daniel Higgs est une légende. Il aime les histoires, il aime les raconter, se draper dedans, les faire évoluer. Il est illustrateur, poète et musicien. C’est un prophète barbu et tatoué, au regard perçant, à l’allure impressionnante. Dès les années 80 à Baltimore, il évolue dans les milieux hardcore, puis au sein de Lungfish qui lui donnent ses galons. Ce n’est pas assez. Il se dirige vers un travail solitaire, explorant les tréfonds du mysticisme, de la poésie, expérimentant sur les sons, passant de la guitare au banjo, s’accompagnant à la guimbarde qu’il fait gronder comme le tonnerre en réponse à sa voix, s’initie au fingerpicking et aux sonorités orientales. Il intègre des schémas musicaux ancestraux dans des formes modernes ornementées de sa vision de ces mondes perdus. Une prestation unique au souffle puissant, dans une configuration acoustique exceptionnelle."

METAL ROUGE






Métal Rouge was formed in 2006 by Helga Fassonaki and Andrew Scott in Auckland, New Zealand with no aim but to open themselves to the spontaneous psych tonalism running through the underbelly of popular music like a vein of pure lightning. Birthed from the rich history of New Zealand underground they began to mold a sound comprised equally of the forward motion of ecstatic jazz and the drugged stasis of NYC loft minimalism circa ’66. Drummer/Trombonist Caitlin M. Mitchell became a regular colaborator in 2009, bringing with her a night/day spectrum ranging from pure brass drone through to aggressive free rock. Related projects include Yek Koo, Nest, Un Ciego, Huzun, Oabl and Low Light Situations. Métal Rouge have releases on Root Strata, Not Not Fun, Stunned, Digitalis, Fictitious Sighs, and Emerald Cocoon.
