Hinterzimmer Records is proud to present a double-header CD & DVD by avant composer and intermedia artist Virgil Moorefield ex-drummer of Swans ( Burning World album) and Glenn Branca Ensemble. The CD, polemically entitled No Business As Usual, presents Moorefield s recent, alternately explosive and lyrical post-minimal works for his Bicontinental Pocket Orchestra, a group of luminaries from Europe and the U.S.: Vicky Chow (piano), Ian Ding (vibraphone, drums), Aleksander Gabrys (contrabass), Taylor Levine (guitar), Martin Lorenz (percussion), Jürg Wickihalder (baritone sax) and Virgil Moorefield on drums. Vicky Chow is a member of Bang On A Can and has worked with John Adams, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Glenn Kotche (Wilco) and Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth). Taylor Levine is a member of Dither. The DVD consists of the intermedia piece Five Ideas About the Relation of Sight and Sound, a new kind of performance work that explores audiovisual synesthesia using advanced technologies.
