Tiger's Mind / Talia / Dupleix + YamamotoTiger’s Mind／タリア／Dupleix＋山本

Live: Tiger's Mind (Denmark) Joe Talia (Australia) Léo Dupleix (France) + Tatsuhisa Yamamoto DUO Artist Information: Tiger's Mind  Plays improvised music that ranges from the quiet, elegant and introspective to uncontrolled primal screams. The dialectics between opposites such as controlled / uncontrolled, primitive / modern, artifcial / natural is a cornerstone in both approach and expression. Inspired by consciousness expanding techniques they work towards a coherent textural soundscape, only to deconstruct it; scraping off the composed and controlled layer by layer, until the music's primitive, physical and anti-intellectual subcutis emerges. メンバー： Danielle Dahl (saxophones) Norwegian saxophone player and composer. She has toured extensively in Europe, as well as in Australia and in the US, both in with her own projects and in different ad hoc-constellations. Danielle is interested in the extremes of sonic variations possible on the acoustic saxophone, combining subtle and minimal means of expression with the aesthetics of noise and free jazz. Thomas Eiler (drums) A well known name on the Danish jazz/improv scene, both as a sideman and contractor for own projects. Bands and collaborations includes the common man avant-garde group SVIN, Jesper Zeuthen, Frisk Frugt and Walter Thompson. Niklas Adam (electronics) Danish multi-instrumentalist and composer living in Norway. Also works with photography and sculpture, in addition to sound-art and music. Adam uses the mixer and other analog devices to generate electronic sounds with an inherent acoustic or human nature and thus plays on the tension between the physical and the intangible. [Tiger's Mind JAPAN Tour 2015](http://www.jvtlandt.com/live/tigersmind/) Joe Talia (drums)  Joe Talia is a drummer, composer and record producer/engineer based in Melbourne, Australia. He first established his reputation as a drummer in contemporary jazz and improvised music, fields in which he is now active as a member of the ARIA award winning Andrea Keller Quartet and in numerous collaborative projects, including a long-term duo with Oren Ambarchi. In the last few years a great deal of his work as a drummer has taken place alongside outsider singer-songwriters (such as Ned Collette, Yuko Kono and Francis Plagne), in groups which synthesize his adventurous, exploratory drumming with the demands of song form. His longstanding musical partnership with Ned Collette has resulted in three records, on which Talia acts as both drummer and producer/engineer, most recently the well-received 2 (Fire Records 2012). Talia also works in the realm of electro-acoustic composition and performance, working with reel -to-reel tape machines and other analogue devices. Following the release of his musique concrete suite in/exterior in 2006, he established a duo with composer James Rushford. Although the duo’s working methods and sound sources have changed radically between releases (and even performances), all of their work breathes the same peculiar air of lingering obsession and decayed virtuosity. Having worked with extended instrumental timbres and rapid-fire electro-acoustic techniques on previous releases, their most recent LP Manhunter (Kye 2013) develops a unique palette of submerged synthesizers, expiring drum machines and domestic detritus. In addition to the collaborations above he has performed, recorded and toured with Jim O'Rourke, Anthony Pateras, Boredoms, Richard Pinhas, John Duncan, Brous, Mary Halvorson, The Australian Art Orchestra, Thembi Soddell, Anthea Caddy, Sean Baxter, Robbie Avenaim, David Shea, Marco Fusinato, Rand and Holland, Adam Simmons, and Magic Mountain Band, among others. As a studio engineer, producer and mixer he has worked on records for Oren Ambarchi, Stephen O’Malley, Keiji Haino, Jim O’Rourke, Fire! and many others.
