Hess is More NYC Workshops by Jacob Resneck

Coming off the heels of touring in Istanbul, London and Copenhagen and in anticipation of his upcoming studio release, Danish electronica virtuoso Hess is More (née Mikkel Hess) will be in Manhattan to offer a five-day workshop that includes interactive performances with Hess' live act.

The program will include an open rehearsal, a preview of “Denial” his fourth album and three concert performances at Nublu.

This isn't the time that Danish Grammy-nominated electronica and jazz performance artist has attracted our attention. This five days of workshops and performances (through 19 January 2008) isn't something fans and those just discovering his work will want to miss, especially tomorrow's open studio session that Hess is inviting people (and their own instruments) to attend, much like he does in his audience-participation live shows.

The nitty-gritty is on Hess' website under “Updates;” reservations can be made by emailing him directly at news [at] hessismore [dot] com.

The Ballet: Mattachine
I just got my copy of Mattachine, the debut CD from The Ballet. The handmade package features a simple triangular pattern printed on the disk, erotic drawings printed on a sheet of paper from a legal pad, and the liner notes suggest a very literal stemming of the rose from the attached pin. Self-proclaimed "Sissy-pop," The Ballet's debut CD features members of The Aislers...
Gore
Gore, the kaleidoscopic photo collage that's equal parts documentary project and art book by New York noise band Black Dice and their collaborator, photographer Jason Frank Rothenberg, gets a launch tomorrow 23 June 2006 at New York's New Museum. Featuring Rothenberg's dreamy anonymous landscapes and snapshot-like portraits interspersed with (and integrated into) cutouts of porn, candy wrappers, '70s-era advertisements, and other ephemera, the book...
Giant Drag
The unofficial inaugural CMJ prom was held last night in NYC and featured LA-based Giant Drag rolling with the punches on stage. In spite of bouncers mysteriously removing their monitors midway through their set, fierce lead singer Annie Hardy kept up her dry jokes in between strumming and singing her way through indie pop-meets-shoegaze songs. Micah Calabrese, held it down with her, deftly drumming...
