Dylan Kerr & Weston Olencki, "with sharp bitter lines" for voice, dulcimer, talkbox, and electronics
Wed Dec 10 | Doors 20:00 | Start 20:30
KM28, Karl-Marx-Straße 28, Berlin
"with sharp bitter lines" is a set of songs—mostly about loss, coal, and emigration—that trace the unruly tethers between Ireland and Appalachia. Written and performed by Dylan Kerr and Weston Olencki, it draws upon their shared interest in the spaces between experimental sound, multichannel synthesis, and vernacular musics. Drawing on the work of folklorists Dolores Keane and Jean Ritchie, with sharp bitter lines uses digital string synthesis, voice, an Appalachian mountain dulcimer, and a talkbox to reimagine the future lineages of the ballad tradition, including tunes such as "Green Grows the Laurel," "Two Sisters," "Sliabh Geal gCua na Féile," "The Shoofly," and "Shady Grov."
