Acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, Novice Theory returns to Galapagos Art Space on September 1st. Novice Theory will be joined by special guests Aria Orion and Leyna Marika Papach.
ARIA ORION, a project from composer and performer Jules Gimbrone, weaves mystical tales with experimental arrangements, orchestral dramatics, and soulful melodic phrasing.
"The music is an acoustic dream of eerie, ethereal, bold movements and spine-tingling combination of instruments. Jules emotional shaky high vocal range turns and twists around the instrumentation." (Obsession Collection, 2008)
Leyna Marika Papach is a composer/video/theater artist from Japan/US. Aside from her own activities, she often collaborates with people in dance and theater. She's written and directed a few of her own musical theater pieces and has played with several bands on the violin (Geraldine Fibbers/Jim Thirwell/Matteah Baim). Her work has been performed in Western/Eastern Europe, West Africa and Japan.
Novice Theory is New York-based multi-instrumentalist Geo Wyeth & his friends. With roots in cabaret performance, experimental folk, and jazz, his "strongly narrative songs and evocative performances" (The New Yorker) have been engaging sold out NYC audiences at Joe's Pub, the Zipper Factory, Ars Nova, Glasslands Gallery, Rockwood Music Hall, and Galapagos.
He was on the BBC's Later With Jools Holland last year alongside the almighty Grace Jones. Novice Theory uses his own lens to communicate conflict in music and narrative, drawing on avant jazz composition, psychedelia, gender transformation, mutli raciality, dirty rich people, and clean poor folks. (Spiritual) influences include but are not limited to Alice Coltrane, Neil Young, McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, and Nina Simone.
Novice Theory was awarded Composer In Residence at Ars Nova Theater (NYC) for 2009, and is currently working on a multimedia song cycle about Hell's Kitchen, Huckleberry Finn, and the ghost of John Brown.
