Info:
"Cello goddess" (The New Yorker) Maya Beiser will perform music from her new album Uncovered on Monday, September 15 at 8:30pm at Portland State University's Lincoln Performance Hall. Presented by the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, this concert is part of PICA's Time Based Art Festival. Bassist Gyan Riley and drummer Matt Kilmer join Maya for the performance, which also includes the Oregon premieres of Glenn Kotche's Three Parts Wisdom and David T. Little's Hellhound, both written for Maya, David Lang's take on Lou Reed's Heroin, and Michael Harrison's epic Just Ancient Loops, performed with a film by Bill Morrison. The Portland Cello Project will perform with Maya in selected special arrangements. Uncovered will be released on Innova Records worldwide on August 26, 2014. In addition to Portland, tour concerts also include performances in New York, NY Philadelphia, PA San Francisco, CA Los Angeles, CA Santa Ana, CA Washington, DC San Antonio, TX Dallas, TX and Chicago, IL.
Uncovered is an album of startling classic rock tunes, re-imagined and re-contextualized, in stunningly moving performances by Maya Beiser. A cover tune can be an homage to the original, but these "uncovers," in new arrangements by Evan Ziporyn, attempt to do more - to evoke the unprecedented power of the music of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Janis Joplin, Howlin' Wolf, King Crimson, Muddy Waters, and AC/DC as musical masterpieces and as totems of our collective consciousness. Maya's performances in Uncovered are incendiary, in line with New York Magazine's assessment that "Beiser is not the sort of musician who zigzags around the planet playing catalog music for polite and sleepy audiences. She throws down the gauntlet in every program."
