http://www.chicagoreader.com/TheBlog/archives/2010/10/21/katherine-youngs-bold-bassoon

[K]ickass bassoonist Katherine Young is back in town for a couple of concerts, the first of which is this evening.... During her days in Chicago, Young's regular musical partner was violist Amy Cimini; they both live in New York these days, and they're still playing together. Their long-running duo project Architeuthis Walks on Land recently released its second album, Natura Naturans (Carrier), a bracing blast of free improvisation that benefits from the pair's mutual familiarity—their rapport is clear, whether they're shadowing each other with ghostly harmonics or colliding strident squawks and slashing double stops. Bassoon and viola aren't typically associated with the kind of raw dissonance and extended technique on display here, and "Glitterbird" has an almost Chinese tonality that suggests an erhu-guan duet. Recordings like Natura Naturans vividly refute the claim that free improvisation has worked itself into an idiomatic rut and no longer has the power to surprise. Yes, predictable free improv does happen, but a project like Architeuthis Walks on Land makes it clear that we're not at the end of the line.

Natura Naturans Reviews

2010-08-22T07:06:00.000-07:00

Time Out New York :
"[C]ompellingly weird....[T]he pair's improvisations embrace both droney drift and harsh angularity." (8/19)

http://www.chicagoreader.com/TheBlog/archives/2010/10/21/katherine-youngs-bold-bassoon:

"[A] bracing blast of free improvisation that benefits from the pair's mutual familiarity—their rapport is clear, whether they're shadowing each other with ghostly harmonics or colliding strident squawks and slashing double stops....Recordings like Natura Naturans vividly refute the claim that free improvisation has worked itself into an idiomatic rut and no longer has the power to surprise. Yes, predictable free improv does happen, but a project like Architeuthis Walks on Land makes it clear that we're not at the end of the line."

http://freejazz-stef.blogspot.com/2010/08/architeuthis-walks-on-land-natura.html :

"[T]his is not unobtrusive music. This is not classical chamber music. This is raw and refined. This is expressive sophistication. They've found a voice and musical direction that is all their own. I hope they keep searching in this direction."

http://wedgeradio.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/architeuthis-better-not-step-on-my-lawn/:

"The music is organic, with the two instruments played acoustically, no effects. It sounds mostly improvised, with all the dynamism that the label implies. Some tracks linger on one trick or formation for a while, like the upward duet squeaking on 'Glitterbird,' but the sound is full of variations and pulse....The two together create a vivid sense of color."

http://www.tokafi.com/news/vital-weekly-749/:

"Whatever happens their improvisations have a strong soul and concept, due to the fact that both musicians play together already for some time and make a very good team."

Architeuthis Walks on Land RECORD RELEASE SHOW!!
@ Local 269 (269 Houston)

w/ Jessica Pavone's Army of Strangers & Owen Stewart-Robertson's Army of Strangers

the record's coming out July 15 on Carrier Records, but you can preview our jams here: www.carrierrecords.com.

here's a lil bit about each project:

Army of Strangers:
Wordless songs inspired by life's cast of characters.
Jessica Pavone (violin, viola), Pete Fitzpatrick (guitar), Jonti Siman (bass guitar), Harris Eisenstadt (drums)
-
This Sporting Life:
A project that attempts to address the absurdity of the competitive life through snippets of song, text, and athleticism.
Owen Stewart-Robertson (guitar/compositions/champion), Myk Freedman (lap steel), Josh Sinton (bari sax/bass clarinet), and Jacob Wick (trumpet)

-
Architeuthis Walks on Land:
"A gelatinous blob with seriously evil arms" - -You think you know what the bassoon and the viola sound like, but you don't!
Amy Cimini (viola), Katherine Young (bassoon)

and here's some info about Natura Naturans, AWOL's new record:

>>Sawing, sputtering, gurgling and wailing, Architeuthis Walks on Land is every bit the displaced and terrifying cephalopod that the name suggests. The viola and bassoon are two instruments rarely associated with free improvisation and noise; yet on Natura Naturans Amy Cimini and Katherine Young rip it up with particular aplomb, weaving disjunct lines, constructing chaotic sound masses, and raising towering monoliths. Crafting their improvised materials into tight structures, the eight tracks on Natura capture the compositional, timbral and expressive breadth of this uncommon coupling: from divergently soloistic to profoundly intertwined playing, from a slowly unfolding intimacy to a jagged and kinetic style. Cimini and Young lunge and flutter through their materials with the intuition and energy of constant discovery.

2010-06-25T10:24:00.000-07:00

certainly very high praise! wow!

http://cliffordallen.blogspot.com/2010/06/music-briefly-review ed-june-2010.html

I’m not sure if it’s right to say that Katherine Young is the Anthony Braxton of the bassoon – probably better to say that she’s a “restructuralist master” of the instrument and/or the Katherine Young of the bassoon. Indeed, she’s worked extensively with Braxton as well as in ensembles directed by composers Andrew Raffo Dewar and Matthew Welch (both also Wesleyan & Braxton alums). Further Secret Origins is Young’s first disc under her own name, presenting seven compositions for bassoon and (occasional) electronics that are both sprawling and economic. The bassoon is really taken to a direct and contemporary point on this recording, and there is no effort made to turn the instrument into something that it isn’t, whether plodding through a maddening pulse track with wonderful cyclical blats and a whimsical multiphonic line on “Patricia Highsmith” or engaging gargled harmonics in concert with rhythmic taps and indeterminate whir on “Elevation.” Certainly Young can produce masses of unruly sound that sometimes recall Braxton’s work on the contrabass clarinet, from hot low outpourings to twittering upper-register whine. A mildly irregular beat and low, uneven tones create much of the landscape on the quarter-hour “For Autonauts, for Travelers,” stark wisps and garish asides stitched into a knotty and unsettling mood. Koan-like quips rest atop looped (and bassoon-generated) rhythms on “Relief,” eventually drawn out into a series of overdubbed tones that waver, buzz, and pucker the ear. Raw and peerless, Katherine Young’s bassoon landscapes deserve serious recognition and study.

well, i was so busy getting ready for this show that i failed to put it up here in advance, but Issue Project Room added me to their WFMU free music archive curated pages, so that's nice.

the show, which was made possible by one of Issue's Emerging Composers Grants, went great (Thursday, June 10, 9:30 pm - - details below) - - thanks to all who came and supported! zam!

FREE MUSIC ARCHIVE announcement
FREE MUSIC ARCHIVE page
> > > < < < > > > < < < > > > < < <>RELEASING BOUND WATER IN GREEN MATERIAL.

the centerpiece of this whole thing is a trio for mixed percussion (gongs, drums, wooden objects, etc), which will be debuted by TimeTable (A. Lipowski, M. Gold, M. Ward).

also performing will be: Jeff Snyder (serge analog synthesizer), Emily Manzo (piano), Dan Peck (tuba), Nathaniel Morgan (saxophone), Jacob Wick (trumpet), and Brad Henkel (trumpet).

AND there will be visuals by artist Michael Kenney, who "will operate a sculpture that externalizes its insides, projecting memories of the objects it contains." (there is a schematic drawing above.)

Thanks Sequenza 21!!!

http://www.sequenza21.com/cdreviews/2010/02/further-secret-origins/

>> “Rough, rugged, in your face bassoon playing” might seem humorous to the uninitiated in regards to the facility and sonic capacity of the bassoon but this disc is one of only a few discs that left me totally entranced by the sounds of a solo monophonic instrument. Though frequently augmented with electronics, Katherine Young’s solo bassoon music does more than rock. It f-king kicks ass. And takes names.

Young’s music is well in tune with the extended sets of sounds and colors available on the instrument. Her performances are powerful and compelling. Most of the works are edgy, dissonant, rich with multiphonics and thick fat eruptions of sound. There are also tracks which feature more expressive, engaging, and haunting performances.

If you thought Stravinsky’s high bassoon writing was “otherworldly,” then you have to hear this. Most of the disc works as a cycle since the heartbeat that emerges towards the end of the first track becomes the foundational support that carries everything through the track “Relief.”

“Some People Say That She Doesn’t Exist” is a break from the aggressive and tense. This multiple bassoon piece is a sullen, tender, tonal, and introspective work. The final track is an echo to the rich timbres of the more aggressive music but in a more muted and meditative manner. “Orbis Tertius” is the perfect end for this disc.

Throughout the CD, whether hard or soft, edgy or tender, Young’s tone is rich and resonant with overtones every bit as interesting as the fundamentals. If you want to hear an orchestra of sound from a single bassoon, this is not a disc to miss. <<

Further Secret Origins got a super-duper write-up in Downbeat! check it:::

http://www.downbeat.com/digitaledition/2010/DB201005/60-61.html

>> Katherine Young, a member of Till By Turning and Anthony Braxton's Falling River Quartet, makes seriously bold leaps for the bassoon on FURTHER SECRET ORIGINS (Porter4039; 46:22) *** 1/2. Although a few tracks employ minor overdubs and some vinyl surface noise, Young produced most of the sounds live, using multiple mics to capture different facets of her notoriously difficult double reed. She makes the most of the unwieldy low-end, using quavering long tones, extreme polyphonics, percussive breath manipulation, and wonderfully striated, sour phrases to construct a music of surprising diversity and richness. << Peter Margasak

TBT at Pete's Candy Store

2010-01-04T15:25:00.001-08:00

just a note that Till by Turning played a wonderful show last night at Pete's Candy Store. it came together at the last minute, and i failed to get it up here in time, but we had fun!

the program included 3 of Clara Latham's songs written especially for TBT + some of my music--Underworld (Dancing) for tuba and wurli, with the master Dan Peck contributing some unbelievably low tones, and three movements of Messiaen-inspired quartet.

thanks Pete's and Baby Copperhead and Jason from the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow!

Till by Turning at the STONE

2009-11-18T08:38:00.001-08:00

FRIDAY DEC 11 - 8 pm
@ the Stone
thestonenyc.com

As part of the exciting December calendar of music co-curated by Sam Kulik and David Garland, Till by Turning will premiere new music by Brooklyn composers Clara Latham and Katherine Young.

Each composer has written a short cycle of pieces for this ensemble’s unique instrumentation (violin, viola, bassoon, piano & voice): Latham’s songful experiments carve a liminal space between the strange and the familiar in which lyrical and timbral elements find delicate co-existence. Young presents a multi-movement meditation on Quartet for the End of Time, exploring Messiaen’s musical materials and time-suspending techniques, while grafting material and mundane apocalyptic suggestions onto and across his religious consciousness.

The cycles both include music for voice and ensemble. Till by Turning’s Emily Manzo will sing, and Latham will join the ensemble for her pieces.

New York Times review!

2009-07-21T15:18:00.000-07:00

Anthony Tommasini of the New York Times reviewed my string quartet, as part of his article on the Flux Quartet's recent program at Barge Music!
Tommasini clearly appreciated David Lang's "harmonically diffuse" piece perhaps the most of any on the program, but i'll take his description of mine as a "raw, wailing, coloristic piece" with an "organic sweep"--no problem.

up in gallery 3!

2009-07-16T22:06:00.000-07:00
