Trance Mission casts spell at Henry’s
By Edward Klopfenstein
0?»Qon Dafy l rv0*aki
The hand "Trance Mission” played everything
from a hass clarinet to Australian Didgeridoo* at
John llenrv's last Friday night. The hand was fol
lowed by guitarist Elliot Sharp, w ho was touring
solo from his band Carbon
"We're thinking for our next album cover to line
everything up on a helicopter pad said hand mem
ber Kenneth Newby, who played samples, Indian
flute and numerous other Instruments No one plays
just one
Centerpiece to the self-styled "world nx k” hand
is the didgeridoo. an aborigine instrument that sets
a haunting native tone The complementing mod
ern and traditional instruments make it sound like
U2 ft C
But the hand sounds anything but old
Stephen Kent on didgeridoo and John Loose on
gongs set a very upbeat tempo that often jolts its
audience In quick shifts in rhythm. Beth Cluster
plays alto and bass c Inrinets and Kenneth Newby
transgresses hetween high-tech and ancient instru
ments
"We're try ing to get [ample to a trance state." said
Cluster, alluding to the baud's name "A driving,
thrusting of the peh ic, trance state "
On stage. Kent's "t ircular style of breathing" on
the didgeridoo appeared like he was practicing a
deep huddhist mantra Straight-faced Cluster
appeared nothing hut focused Newhy and Loose
both swayed with their instruments like they were
the instruments
During the show, one heavy-set woman from the
audiem e got up and started belly dancing in the
dance pit Most others just cowardly tapped their
feet in the dark
Band memlters said they were hummed that only
70 people showed.
" It's just frustrating, you know We come all the
way up here to a small crowd," fillister said after
the first set We re used to playing in front of more
people."
The hand often plays to crowds of 500 in their
home base of San Francisco, said fillister
Friday's gig in Fugene w as one in a tour of stops
through the Northwest.
Trance Mission, formed in April 1B02. pays trib
ute to the aborigine on their album cover, as they
did Friday night
"(The song Tjiipi) is for Bernan Bernan. who,
on the anniversary of the founding of white Aus
tralia. planted a flag on the white cliffs of Dover
to claim all of Britain for Aborigines." said Kent
to the cheering crowd.
Politics and instruments aside. Trance Mission
isn't for everyone, but it was enjoyable.
The intense beat of the drums and didgeridoos
seemed to set the scene of an ancient festival, imag
inary bonfires flu kering and all. With both Clus
ter's and Loose's intense play, the band definitely
lived up to it's "Trance" mission.
Trance Mission records on the City of Tribes label.
KiIiot Sharp was the next musician at John Hen
ry's.
Sharp, well known around New York City's loft
scene and in Europe, has been playing experimen
tal guitar for more than 20 years.
When he was young and a "science nerd” (he
wanted to be a physicist and said he can chat frac
tical geometry with the best), he became inspired
by guitar greats like Jirni Hendrix and Cecil Taylor.
The "psycho" rocker definitely proved his skill
The guitarist can hit chords on his two-necked gui
tar most players don’t know exist. And loud? Ears
were still ringing the next morning.
Before the show, he said he isn't partial to any
one kind of music. He favors Indian and pygmy
"world music" just as much as Bartok and
Beethoven's Inter quartets
"Maybe it's egotistical, but 1 like to have an influ
ence on people," lie said.
He did.
lost lfi minutes after he began his set, half the
audience left. They obviously didn't buy the ear
plugs that the guys at the front door sold for a quar
ter.
Experimental guitar, but music without rhythm,
isn't for everyone, that's definitely a shame tiecause
Sharp is an excellent guitarist. I just could'nt
stay in the same room long enough to enjoy it.
Hornsby off the range lights up Hult Center
By Kaly Soto
Oregon CMy ( me'aid
Rock is not usually a word
associated with Bruce Hornsby,
but rock he did when he play The
Hull Center on Tuesday Septem
ber 22
Hornsby was touring in support
of his newest release Harbor
Ughts Harbor Lights is Hornsby 's
first release without The Range
which allowed Hornsby to con
centrate on his "trademark piano
sound."
In the time between his last
release, 1990’s A Night On The
Town Hornsby played over 100
shows as guest keyboardist with
the Grateful Dead at the same
time he managed to tour with The
Range, and he contributed to 40
albums by artists such as Bob
Dylan. Bonnie Raitt. Don Henley.
Squeeze, and Robbie Robertson.
In addition to all of those public
activities he became a father to
twin boys Keith and [arrett.
After about a year of touring
and recording with other people
Hornsby decided to return to nis
own career. " 1 went. ’Wait a
minute! It’s time to get back to
me. So I turned down all record
requests and stopped playing
with the Dead.”
His time with the Dead influ
enced the outcome of Harbor
Lights as did the fact that Dead
guitarist |erry Oarcia appears on
two of the albums tracks. Of the
Dead influence Hornsby said.
"There really is a little of the
improvisatory spirit and sponta
neous atmosphere on this
album." He goes on to say. “Hav
