Brooklyn-based pianist and sound sculptor Marco Benevento has completed his third full-length studio album in as many years, Between the Needles and Nightfall, available May 11 through his label The Royal Potato Family.
Between the Needles and Nightfall was conceived at Trout Recording in Brooklyn, NY where engineer Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Akron/Family) tracked Marco Benevento and his trio, featuring bassist Reed Mathis and drummer Andrew Barr, over three days. The material was drawn from fragments of melodies and song ideas that Benevento had been collecting throughout the year. To achieve the colors he envisioned for these compositions, Benevento recorded on a baby grand piano bolstered by guitar pick-ups, amplifiers and a myriad of pedals and circuit bent toys, while adding flourishes of Moog, Optigan, Mellotron and Farfisa.
Thursday, November 4, 2010. 9pm. $10 advance / $12 day of show. Advance tickets available online and at our local outlets.
