Glenn Branca, Reg Bloor, Virgil Moorefield

The Trio (Live at Royal Festival Hall 2001)

Glenn wrote the music for a dance/theater piece called "Portrait of Shunkin" for The Big Dance Theater directed by Annie B. Parsons. It premiered at The Kitchen and Mass MOCA and was commissioned by the Cary Trust. In London "The Trio" (with Glenn and Reg Bloor and Virgil Moorefield) was performed at the Royal Festival Hall on a program with Sonic Youth. On June 13th Glenn performed the world premiere of "Symphony #13 (Hallucination City)"for 100 guitars produced by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council as part of "EveningStars" at the former World Trade Center, originally commissioned by The Mission for the Year 2000, Paris.
Glenn said "The piece was a resounding success and we got a standing ovation. At least that's what I'm told. I didn't notice." In Los Angeles Reg Bloor and Glenn performed a "duo" as part of The Sound Series at Schindler House for Society for the Activation of Social Space Through Art and Sound.

Notes: RIP Glenn Branca (October 6, 1948 – May 13, 2018). This is a fine master recording of mine of Glenn Branca Ensemble's performance at Primavera Sound 2011, which was unreleased until today. There's some crowd noise natural to a music festival setting, but nothing too distracting (at least for spanish crowd standards :P). Terrific performance, listening back to this recording you can tell both the audience and the band are really into it. A partial broadcast of this show is available online at Freemusicarchive.org, but nothing beats having the full performance. Enjoy and may his music live forever.

#Please pass this info file along as you distribute the show.#
