Eric Chenaux
Dead Rat Orchestra et The Cambridge Free Improvisation Society
ERIC CHENAUX
Eric Chenaux experiments with guitars, ballads, electronics and tunes as an improviser and songwriter with an affection for balladeers such as Betty Carter, Howard Skempton, Willie Nelson, June Tabor, Waterson:Carthy and Paul Bley. Chenaux’s songs begin as singular vocal lines and become thorny with his elastic and mouthy guitar playing. His latest album, ‘Sloppy Ground’, was released at the end of last year on Constellation and is a collection of fried love ballads, swirling in and out of conventionality, pivoting endlessly at the point where Chenaux’s loves of folk song and total improvisation meet.
In the 80s and 90s Chenaux sang and played guitar in the post-punk band Phleg Camp and later wrote songs with the guitar duo LifeLikeWeeds. In 2001 Eric co-founded the Toronto-based record label Rat-Drifting, on which he releases the music of friends and collaborators. Rat-drifting projects to date include The Guayaveras and The Draperies and The Reveries , an ultra psychedelic sweet-lounge jazz trio who sing and play jazz standards with cellphone speakers placed in their mouths to amplify each others instruments. Chenaux also plays with jazz quintet Drumheller and collaborates with improvising dancer Aimée Dawn Robinson. As an improviser he’s played with a wack of folks including Han Bennink, Murray Favro, Michael Moore, Kurt Newman, Pauline Oliveros, Joh Oswald, Michael Snow, Rachel Wadham and Zack Wallace.

DEAD RAT ORCHESTRA
This Colchester based collective is all about channeling energies into making some heart bursting beguiling music. Since they started playing together, their line up has shifted but their folk-centric minimalist improvisations are always mind blowing experiences. Some of these, including their recent concert as support of A Silver Mt. Zion are available on Palimpsest Records.

THE CAMBRIDGE FREE IMPROVISATION SOCIETY
A loose collective of Cambridge-based free improvisers, as you may have ascertained. Think AMMor Derek Bailey as opposed to Albert Ayler.
