SUMMARY:Theo Bleckmann performs at NYC venues  and new recordings
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Jan 12\, 2025 at 6 – 7:30pm\nClick Image for more info. \nTheo Bleckmann is a multi GRAMMY® nominated vocalist\, composer and ECM recording artist who has recorded over 17 albums and collaborated with artists such as Ambrose Akinmusire\, Sheila Jordan\, Kneebody\, Ben Monder\, John Hollenbeck\, Phil Kline\, David Lang\, Ulysses Owens\, Bang on a Can All-Stars\, and\, most prominently\, with Meredith Monk since 1994. \n\n Sunday Feb 9\, 2025 at 6pm \nClick image for ticket info\nIn “12 easy songs” I wanted to use found texts from all over New York City: fragments of Graffiti\, parts of advertisements\, subway announcements\, street signs\, passenger instructions\, sale signs\, truisms\, random flyers\, overheard fragments of conversations\, even syllables from scratched off scribblings somewhere…anything and everything could serve as an actual text or become the departure point for a more narrative lyric. I want these songs to celebrate the diversity\, absurdity\, and poetry embedded in New York’s urban landscape through a melancholic and playful approach. Inspired by composers Hanns Eisler and Ryuichi Sakamoto (whom I had the great fortune to perform with here at National Sawdust)\, I want the pedestrian and mundane to be a porthole into the soul of culture; much like a supermarket in a foreign country that can show you the simple truth of its people. There is a bit of Kurt Schwitters and John Cage’s influence here too. The idea of collage and chance operation have always had a place in my music.” \n \n. Click Image to order
