VOLCANO THE BEAR

BUCURESTI, 6 NOIEMBRIE 2013, CONTROL CLUB, SALA BERLIN

Ca sa-i citam pe cei de la The Wire , acest grup a produs cea mai rafinata si-n acelasi timp salbatica muzica britanica din ultimii zece ani, atat pe discuri cat si pe scena.
La fel ca This Heat – una dintre trupele importante care i-au influentat– daca Volcano the Bear ar avea un motto, acesta ar fi : “ All possible processes. All channels open”
Muzica lor e ancorata in progresivul avantgardist englez al lui Robert Wyatt sau Henry Cow, in post punk ul DIY al celor de la ATV, in free improvul european si in noiseul industrial al anilor 80.

VTB is one of that groups which possess the uncanny knack of placing the most perfectly unexpected sound in the most perfectly unexpected places
All their compositions are based on improvisation. “Composition doesnt start and then stop where improvisation begins”. In VTB the improvisation is reined in by pre-arranged points of contact and departure.
VTB live is an extravagantly theatrical spectacle, a mixture of dada happening and shamantic ritual
