AMY X NEUBURG
Since her NYC debut at Roulette in 2003, San Francisco-based "avant-cabaret" artist Amy X Neuburg has toured the U.S. and abroad performing her "one-woman musical hurricane" (Otago Times, NZ) of emotionally intense, tightly crafted songs and stories. This appearance will mark the New York debut of Amy's new cello trio (with cellists Jess Ivry, Elaine Kreston and Beth Vandervennet) as they perform selections from her in-progress song cycle, "The Secret Language of Subways," for voice, cellists, electronic percussion and electronic processing. Amy also will premiere several new solo works. The New York Press has described her as "an astonishing array of musical talents … a phenomenal voice … a master with electronics." Amy X Neuburg’s works for voice and live electronics are diversely influenced and sung in various styles – from rock to bel canto to "world" – over a nearly four-octave vocal range. In performance Amy accompanies herself with real-time looping and electronic drums, using the drum kit to trigger sounds, control looping functions, and change mixer settings. She has performed her solo work at venues and events throughout the U.S., including the Other Minds Festival (San Francisco); Roulette, Joe's Pub, and the Bang on a Can Marathon at Symphony Space, (New York); Seattle's Experience Music Project; and the San Jose Tech Museum.
