Bonnie Kane
Bonnie Kane: saxofón, flauta, electrónica analógica, feedback
Integrando saxofón, flauta, feedback y electrónica, la pionera electroacústica e improvisadora dedicada, Bonnie Kane, denomina su trabajo como avant-core: una mezcla de energía extrema de rock psicodélico, hard core y jazz de vanguardia. Con sede en EE. UU., ha vivido en Filadelfia, la ciudad de Nueva York, San Francisco y actualmente reside en Holyoke, Massachusetts.
Fue influenciada por una exposición inusualmente temprana a Sun Ra, estudios con Sonny Simmons, Paul McCandless, Glenn Moore, Ralph Towner (Oregon) y Jon Raskin (Rova Saxophone Quartet). Una temporada en la Club Foot Orchestra original, cuyos miembros entonces incluían a Snakefinger (The Residents) y Eric Drew Feldman (Capt Beefheart), la introdujo en el procesamiento electrónico para trompetas, y un breve estudio en Mills College con Anthony Braxton consolidó su dirección.
Líder de banda desde la década de 1990, con más de 40 lanzamientos, entre los que ha tocado y grabado se incluyen: John Spencer, Tatsuya Nakatani, Chris Forsyth, Kevin Shea, Shayna Dulberger, Jeffrey Hayden Shurdut, Blaise Siwula, Ernesto Diaz-Infante, Chris Welcome, Federico Ughi, Walter Wright, Andrea Pensado, Tracy Lisk y John Loggia. Las nuevas colaboraciones están en constante evolución.
Sus bandas han sido conocidas por "espectáculos de corte de cuero cabelludo", "hazañas de valentía" y por música que es "... el álgebra del corazón, el cerebro y el alma". Conductora de energía, su música no es para apocados.
Bonnie Kane: saxophone, flute, analog electronics, feedback
Integrating saxophone, flute, feedback and electronics, electro acoustic pioneer and dedicated improvisor, Bonnie Kane, terms her work as avant-core: an extreme energy mix of psychedelic rock, hard core, and avant garde jazz. USA based, she has lived in Philadelphia, New York City, San Francisco, and currently resides in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
She was influenced by an unusually early exposure to Sun Ra, studies with Sonny Simmons, Paul McCandless, Glenn Moore, Ralph Towner (Oregon), and Jon Raskin (Rova Saxophone Quartet). A stint in the original Club Foot Orchestra, whose members then included Snakefinger (The Residents) and Eric Drew Feldman (Capt Beefheart), introduced her to electronic processing for horns, and brief study at Mills College under Anthony Braxton solidified her direction.
A bandleader since the 1990s, with over 40 releases, those she has performed and recorded with include: John Spencer, Tatsuya Nakatani, Chris Forsyth, Kevin Shea, Shayna Dulberger, Jeffrey Hayden Shurdut, Blaise Siwula, Ernesto Diaz-Infante, Chris Welcome, Federico Ughi, Walter Wright, Andrea Pensado, Tracy Lisk, and John Loggia. New collaborations are continually evolving.
Her bands have been known for “scalp shearing shows”, “feats of bravery”, and for music that is “…the algebra of heart, brain, and soul.” A conductor of energy, her music is not for the timid.
