Concrete Orchestra , Battleship Potemkin. Concrete has been making intriguing but hard-to-classify "new music" for nearly a decade, but the Southwest Michigan band recently brought its unique craft to a new level with its original score of the 1925 silent Russian film classic Battleship Potemkin, performed live in July 1998. Founded in 1989 by Boyd Nutting of Buchanan, MI and Andrew Lersten of South Haven, MI, Concrete was conceived as a vehicle for exploring the possibilities of sound art and to document the group’s experimental, improvised "jam sessions." Concrete has performed live in Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, South Bend, Lansing, Ann Arbor and many cities in Michigan and Indiana, and has been a regular performing unit at the University of Indiana-South Bend’s Michiana Improvisational Music Festivals. Lersten’s Knot Music label has documented some of Concrete’s music on a self-titled 7" record released in 1995, a track on 1996’s "Extreme America" compilation record, and on a split cassette release with noise unit AXXY. Concrete’s first CD, titled "Equation of the Blue Horse," was released in April 1999. It is the group’s first full-length CD, containing 18 tracks and over an hour of music. |
