Andrew Pekler, Giuseppe Ielasi
FEED 070915
Utilizing both improvisation and composition, Andrew Pekler integrates elements of jazz, pop, electronic music, exotica and modern classical into his own looping and sampling-based musical sensibility. Milan-based guitarist Giuseppe Ielasi is interested in solo performances, with guitar as primary sound but integrating multi-channel systems for a site-specific experience. At KW Institute for Contemporary Art, both musicians show electroacoustic performances.

Out Now :
Cover Versions LP by Andrew Pekler is now available via Senufo Editions & Fantôme Verlag.
Andrew Pekler selected 300 different covers from second-hand records and, using colorful geometric elements to cover over all titles, performer's names, and label logos, removed traces of the covers' original contexts. The sunsets, couples in silhouette, alpine panoramas, roses on pianos, female faces in close-up, and seascapes no longer serve as the packaging for easy listening and exotica. Instead, the romantic, bizarre and intriguingly bland images of the original covers are free to lend their evocative powers to the record of new music they now house.
