review

 

The idea of doing "avant-garde" pop songs was very much in the air in downtown New York City in the early '80s. Witness bands like DNA, the first incarnation of the Golden Palominos, and John Zorn's Locus Solus project. Add David Moss' Dense Band to that list. The leader was primarily a drummer, though his strong second suit was a cartoonish, deep voice which, though it could be entertaining enough, over time had a tendency to veer into obnoxiousness. Here, he collaborates in 19 brief (all four minutes or less) duo performances with a number of luminaries from that scene, most of which are freely improvised. They range from pure noise to rock-tinged pieces to funk (the duo with bassist extraordinaire Jamaaladeen Tacuma being a highlight of the session) and beyond. Moss obviously has a blast; his willingness to emote and then some is constantly on display. He yammers, croaks, chortles, burps, wheedles, and, generally, commits a variety of vocal sins. His natural ebullience often wins out against the desire to reach into the speakers and slap him; when it does, the result is good, playful fun of the avant-garde kind. Moss' drumming style is quick, light and full of clatter, eschewing standard rhythms, though never becoming entirely coloristic. On the best of these duets (with Tacuma, Fred Frith, and brother drummer Fred Maher), a satisfying mix is achieved .

 

 

biography

by Joslyn Layne

Innovative percussionist and vocalist David Moss has been based out of Berlin since 1991. Improviser and provocateur, Moss' music ranges from extreme to experimental to 20th century, and includes compositions, sound collages, and tough jazz rock hybrids -- as in his Dense Band. Commissioned by New American Radio for the second time in the mid-80s, he created an 'operadio, ' Language Linkage, based on and around the texts of Italo Calvino. He has performed solo worldwide -- including NYC, Koln and Tokyo -- in prestigious places that like the Whitney Museum. Moss has also led the group Direct Sound, and served as Musical Director for the Leipzig Opera (for "Survival Songs"). Among his honors: a 1991 Guggenheim Fellowship and a DAAD Kunstlerprogram stipend for a one-year residency in Berlin; the Preis der Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik in 1992 and 1994; the Horspeil des Monats from the Deutsche Akademie des Darstellenden Kunste in 1995 for "Moss Tales." There's a clear record of experimental achievement and an openness to variety found in Moss' past that includes his solo performances; his work with music makers Heiner Goebbels, Fred Frith, and Jon Rose; and his collaborations with dancers Steve Paxton, Kei Takei, and Kenneth King.
