Thursday, 28 May 2009 21:48 Improv / Avantgarde - (USA) - Tzadik  Norberg favourite Pamelia Kurstin is back to do a special event on Saturday!
Visionary electronics pioneer Bob Moog called Pamelia, "one of the most important innovators of the Theremin living today," and her unique talent has been captured both on recordings and in live performances by a wide spectrum of outstanding artists, including Yoko Ono and Plastic Ono Band David Byrne, John Zorn, Foetus and Sebastien Tellier.
"Theremin-Orchestra" is the name Pamelia gives her solo performances. These pieces are complex improvisations using live loops in which she builds, and slowly transforms, multiple layers of harmonies. The fragments that she creates range widely (and can shift quickly) from beautiful, almost pre-baroque melodic lines to abstract, distorted blocks of noise full of dissonance. Thinking Out LoudCurrently Pamelia is living in Europe, performing throughout Europe and the United States promoting her debut solo album " Thinking Out Loud" just released by John Zorn’s Tzadik label. Pamelia has taught and lectured at Berklee College of Music and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Boston Conservatory, and she has given private lessons to numerous aspiring thereminists throughout Europe and the U.S. After years of intensive performance, Pamelia has developed an extraordinarily diverse repertoire of playing styles with the theremin. Besides her solo performances she improvises with a variety of jazz and electronic musicians, performs classical recitals or as guest soloist with ensembles Read More about Pamelia Kurstin
