Had the exquisite pleasure with @SarahSingsank of seeing Wayne Horvitz and Anthony Pirog play at Rhizome last night. An amazing 75 minute set of tight compositions and intimate improvisational conversations on the outer fringes of the music. An incredibly special night of music, and definitely the best show I've got to date this year.

Wayne Horvitz, an older white man dressed in a dark sweater and brown cap, sits raptly at his keyboard in the background to the left of the center of the picture. In the foreground, Anthony Pirog, a younger white man with dark hair and glasses, wearing a grey button-down shirt, plays guitar at the center of the picture in the foreground. The are playing in a small room. There is a blank movie screen drawn on the wall behind them, with speakers, amplifiers, and a piano also in the room.

Anthony Pirog - The Hunger Artist (2024) is a bold and sprawling album that blends jazz, rock, and experimental music. It features two tracks: "The Hunger Artist" and "Bleed." The album is characterized by its unpredictability and sonic complexity, with Pirog's guitar playing being both intimate and intense. The music involves a large ensemble of musicians, creating a rich tapestry of sound that includes orchestral elements, electronic wizardry, and intense improvisations. "The Hunger Artist" is a grandiose and ritualistic soundscape, while "Bleed" is a free-form explosion of raw energy. The album demands a committed listener due to its challenging yet rewarding nature.

“I don’t feel the need to break things up into categories like #jazz, #punk, or #rock … Ultimately, I know the music that I enjoy and that I react to strongly, and I keep trying to bring that feeling into what I’m composing.” - Anthony Pirog

New #review today: "#LocationLocationLocation is a jazzy guitar trio that, for me, hits a sweet spot balancing composition and improvisation on their debut, Damaged Goods. While #AnthonyPirog’s guitar is far more mangled, both electronically and harmonically, than is common in jazz, the group’s music is clearly in the vein previously mined by groups led by #RaoulBjörkenheim, #TerjeRypdal, #SonnySharrock, #NelsCline, and others." #ExposeOnline #jazz #AvantJazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/location-location-location-damaged-goods-2.html

En la semana en que el mundo ha puesto su mirada en #Washington, nosotros ponemos los oídos en uno de los músicos más creativos de su escena. El guitarrista #AnthonyPirog presenta "Pocket Poem", un trabajo de poemas sonoros en el que le acompañan #MichaelFormanek (contrabajo) y #ChesSmith (batería). Pirog es a su vez integrante del trío The Messthetics, que comparte con músicos de la que fue la banda de punk-rock por excelencia de DC, #Fugazi.
