Live Flaying by Konbanwa
Led by Rowland Yeargan, Konbanwa is a project of loose composition & lots of improvisation. On Live Flaying Yeargan asked collaborators to show up with cymbals & like-minded instruments (including glockenspiel, Tibetan bowls, & thunder tubes) while Yeargan himself played simple synthesizer, floor tom, & cymbal. Collaborators included Brian John Mitchell, Bryce Eiman, Armani Mavinga, Will Bridges, Chris Acker, Aya McGee, Tyler Billman, Andrew Harper, Sarah Dakin, & Keith Aazami. The result is a sound that mixes world music with no wave, eastern hypnotics with noise, drone with gamelan. Let the sonic waves shimmer over you.
Silber has been getting drone, experimental, & other fiercely independent music out to the masses since 1996.
