Hans Tammen's Dark Circuits Orchestra plays two of Phill Niblock's orchestra pieces
Baobab (2011) and 2LIPS (2008)
on 20 analog synthesizers and oscillators.
Players :
Luc Vitk, Marcia Bassett, Teerapat Parnmongkol, Alex Zhu, Luke Dubois, Noor Sabreen, Monica Rocha, Crystal Penalosa, Chuck Bettis, Kamran Sadeghi, Michael Schumacher, David Galbraith, Larry 7, Abby Davis, David Rothenberg, Daniel Neumann, Ben Manley, Miguel Frasconi, Laura Feathers & Hans Tammen.
Late in 2023 Phill Niblock & Hans Tammen discussed an all-analog synthesizer version of some of his orchestra pieces.
Sadly, Phill passed away just a few weeks before the premiere, which took place at Hunter College's Black Theater in February 2024.
The Dark Circuits Orchestra performed these pieces again at the Phill Niblock Tribute on Oct 5, 2024, at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn.
This recording is from the Roulette concert.
