the seabrook string society w/erica dicker & henry fraser — live event

Brandon Seabrook - guitar Erica Dicker - violin Henry Fraser - bass The Seabrook String Society explores frightening rhythmic precision as they oscillate between ominous repeating ostinatos; cathartic, angular, and intricate counterpoint; and a massive dynamic range which can change in a nanosecond. "Sounds like some sort of rogue hybrid of chamber music and jazz, as though three virtuosos at an elite music school had secretly gathered in a practice room late at night to explore their most outré ideas….The fiercely dexterous musician has launched a number of bands combining serious chops with manic intensity and a left-field compositional vision.” - Rolling Stone Magazine Few guitarists in improvised music seem to generate more palpable sonic friction than Brandon Seabrook. His groups produce a seriously tactile, almost psychedelic sound: the gut-punch of drums, the rumbling twang of bass, and the slashing, brittle crunch of electric guitar. On Seabrook’s 2020 Exultations recording, these sounds coalesced into gritty, propulsive improvisations possessed of an almost three-dimensional physicality. Those rhythmic and melodic fragments came together with puzzle-piece logic, like an aural Rubik’s cube, but one that never stopped moving. Voted Best Guitarist NYC by the Village Voice 2012, Brandon Seabrook 's work focuses on the intersections between improvisation and structure through fragmented and rapidly changing soundscapes, angular composition; and a massive dynamic range than can change in a joyous nanosecond. He has been summoned by the likes of Anthony Braxton, Nels Cline, The Flying Luttenbachers, Cécile Mclorin Salvant and Joey Arias for his idiosyncratic blend of spiked improvisation, commitment to immediacy and acute technical facility. He has been profiled in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone Magazine, Downbeat, NPR and The Wire.
