SUMMARY:Monde UFO + Ignatz
LOCATION:Theatreship
DESCRIPTION:Baba Yaga's Hut presents:\n\nMonde UFO + Ignatz at Theatreship
 \, October 22nd\n\nMonde UFO\, LA-based duo of Ray Monde and Kris Chau\, a
 re a monochromatic sunset for the senses. A sonic journey through psychede
 lia\, space rock and jazz. A cosmic space where Spacemen 3 meets Vanishing
  Twin\, by way of Sun Ra.\n\nIn a downtown Los Angeles warehouse\, on 7th 
 Street\, Ray Monde began writing songs on an old Yamaha church organ for a
  project that eventually became Monde UFO. Utilizing the organ as a bass\,
  alongside keyboards and a drum machine\, he began making demos on a four-
 track cassette recorder\, adding only vocals and guitar to the organ piece
 s. He explored making haunting and optimistic sounds while living in Skid 
 Row as a one-man band. Heavily influenced by the musician Sandy Bull\, son
 ically landing in a similar no-man’s land of Worldly Jazz and Psych Folk
 . Monde experimented with the themes mostly of meditation and UFO lore.\n
 \nIn time Ray moved in with the artist Kris Chau. With little crossover in
  musical tastes\, they exclusively started listening to jazz\, ambient and
  new age music in the house. Increased interest in sound baths and experim
 ental music led to seeing music in a different light. Ray thought it would
  be interesting to add Chau into his slow burner music project envisioning
  something that would sound like Don Cherry making a record with Yo La Ten
 go. Chau\, with no previous musical experience\, would play a sacral singi
 ng bowl mic’d up though various guitar pedals and singing. Ray would wri
 te songs that fit these 436hz drones and in addition to the old drum machi
 nes added modal jazz alternatives to more limited song structures. By inco
 rporating Kris\, a non-musician\, there was an added emphasis on simplicit
 y and an innocence akin to Beat Happening and K records. Alongside a Commu
 nity-College taught conservatory-rejected jazz musician the duo reached ba
 ck to a more youthful punk foundation\; without over rehearsing\, they emp
 athized more on creativity than virtuosity.\n\n\\---\n\nIgnatz is the alte
 r-ego of Belgian musician Bram Devens. Bram Devens uses Ignatz as his alte
 r-ego\, and comes armed with his own pile of bricks\; sparse\, emotive son
 gs\, wrapped in effects\, corroded by tape\, driven forth by improvisation
  and spontaneity.\n\nIgnatz’s songs stem from a stripped folk framework
 \, being compared to the primitivism of Velvet Underground or Henry Flynt 
 – but these songs sound inverted\, cast adrift\, from beneath the surfac
 e. Where Devens’ fretwork is adorned\, it is executed with a refined coa
 rseness. Autonomous loops entwine each other. Songs brush past percussion
 \, bass notes\, or a scant keyboard motif. A voice recedes from the heart 
 of the song into a dislocated\, cracked drawl.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm
