BC STUDIO GOWANUS PLUS
Other instruments were self-made from discarded materials in our landscape like Bradford’s Pencilina, Lawry Zilrmrah’s The Wheel and Bobby Bunny’s electronic Korgasmatron MK III (3) are all self-made, as was the scrap metal played by White Hills’ Ego Sensation plus Stephen Moses on trombone.” Objects from the location were integrated into it, like the large piece of scrap metal that Bradford Reed is dragging. Our performance would be to transform the location with sound. “Each encounter involved transforming the contested area through uses other than those intended by public officials.
BC STUDIO GOWANUS SERIES
Martin Bisi Collective’s Autonomous People of Gowanus, Sleeping Giant Glossolalia 2022īisi explains: “ The performance on the cassette was from the fourth in a series of encounters at the last street end in Gowanus that had direct access to the Gowanus Canal. Martin Bisi Collective’s Autonomous People of Gowanus (to be released by Sleeping Giant Glossolalia on October 16 th ) addresses those concerns in the form of protest and performance. A hardcore community activist, Bisi has long been a central voice in regard to the rezoning of the area he’s long been a staple of and the cleanup of the Canal, both of which threatens his and other residents’ livelihoods. Now Bisi is back with a cassette release inspired by a cause near and dear to this heart, literally: his longtime Gowanus hood and the famous Canal that sits just down the street from his studio. His last full-length, 2019’s Solstice, was part psychedelic, part post-punk and all true fucked up-ness on the sonic scale. Over a mushrooming discography as a solo artist and guitarist, Bisi’s deranged and dark songcraft has been a mind-bending stab into the great unknown. There’s very good reason a critically acclaimed, must-see documentary told the invaluable tale of BC Studio.īut Bisi is way more than the super-producer to the noise-rock and avant-garde jazz stars where his place is cemented in the underground rock history books. As an aces recorder and mix master, Bisi has presided over a wide-range of seminal records including Sonic Youth, Swans, John Zorn, Lydia Lunch, Cop Shoot Cop, Live Skull, Iggy Pop, Blind Idiot God, Elliott Sharp, Foetus, Material, Unsane and the jaw-dropping list goes on and on. On the recording end of the spectrum, the epic list of credits that litters the CV of Martin Bisi is nothing short of legendary.ĭown in the glorious grime of his BC Studio located in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn where he’s been situated for decades, Bisi has turned and twiddled the knobs over generation-defining touchstones.
