WEDNESDAYS In August the Super Coda presents Jason Anthony Harris.
A deep, processed voice spills over plains of minimalist electronics, and found-objects provide a staggered, polyrhythmic groove. It is a paranoid wash, a mangled synthetic mass. Jason Anthony Harris is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter making experimental music with a soul.
After fronting various bands in New York, including the instrumental rock band The Grand March, Harris went solo with 2009’s “A Record,” an atmospheric & largely acoustic-based album. His low croon returned from a kind of hibernation, often only accompanied by the steady strum of an acoustic guitar. Harris’ current output has evolved and broadened in scope to create more percussive, layered and electronic pieces, sometimes completely improvised before an audience. His live experiments with vocoder, radio noise, and loop manipulation have provided a new method for exploring themes he once tackled with only guitar and voice. A recent show found him beating and scraping a wooden chair across the stage to create a bed of dissonant clatter to chant over. His performances are marked by on-the-spot composition, audience interaction and off-stage wanderings; these sets are specifically garnered to the particular night, mood and space.
