Cory is the pianist with International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), Present Music (in Milwaukee, where we met earlier this year), and all sorts of famous everyones. We'll be performing composed and semi-to-fully-improvised duets, solo works and surprises. This is a one-time-only performance, and we're excited to play at the beautiful new Roulette -- please do stop by. On the docket are: a new song about rat experiments, a completely whack song Cory has written which I am to sing in a country twang while live-looping every other piano chord oh and mostly it's in 11/8, 2 new songs about personality disorders, solo works from each of us (including selections from Cory's recent release "Pluripotent," and a few of my avant-cabaret classics), and of course yet another weird Schubert arrangement. Peeps, here are the deets: Amy X Neuburg & Cory Smythe -- New works for voice/piano/electronics TUESDAY DECEMBER 13 at the brand new ROULETTE -- 8:00 PM 509 Atlantic Ave. (at 3rd Ave.), Brooklyn (near every train in the universe) http://roulette.org Tickets $15 general, $10 stu/sr/mmbr Here is the info/ticket link: http://www.roulette.org/**events/event.php/ **AMYXNEUBURG2011 Here is our facebook invite -- if you're coming, please "join"!

So for "Me Has Olvidado" ("You Have Forgotten Me") you have: That smile of yours tells me one thing You have forgotten me You have forgotten me I see it in your eyes Your hair shines more You glow more brightly and your skin dresses you well You have forgotten me You have forgotten me You have forgooooo... I seek your eyes and you turn back the look I sing your name You have forgotten me You have forgotten me You have forgooooo... That song has a vocal passage that reminds me of Elaine Lachica singing "Rapture." I imagine you're listening to the 12 tracks on Soundcloud here: http://soundcloud.com/helloseahorse/ For the first ("Fieras" - "Wild Beasts" or maybe "Savages") there's this: Between blades of grass frozen and black You walk slowly seeking its smell You keep a firm step, followed by a dark gasp. There is no fear There is fear It is pure pain that floods Exhausts Completes your being Move your seas Move your world It is exhausted You are exhausted Destroy your skin I vibrate I breathe the denser air I lose myself in the dark On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 5:31 PM, Karen Hester wrote: > Thanks Neal, I've been listening to them all day. > 'Me Has Olvidado' is sublime and very ecto. > Paul, are they singing about interesting things?! > > Their latest album is free to hear here - > http://soundcloud.com/helloseahorse/sets > > Karen ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #268 ***************************
