About Me |
|
Taiga formed in the beginning of 2008 with Anthony Fantano on bass/amplifier and Richard D'Albis on drums. Anthony and Richard were growing tired of trying to work with musicians who didn't share the sonic vision they did. Richard was planning on moving to Europe and Anthony was planning on hanging himself, but the power of the internet has brought their musical When Anthony and Richard aren't too busy talking about how awesome Rahsaan Roland Kirk is, they're droning, making noise, working day jobs, and arguing over the artistic merit of the Wiggles. The first full-length Taiga album is currently being mixed and will be out soon. ---------- Here's a nice bio written up for us by Revolver Promotions : That's not an earthquake you're feeling. That low rumbling that nearly shakes you from your shoes is not the result of some nearby construction site. No, that's the vibrations of a sonic explosion courtesy of bass player Anthony Fantano and drummer Richard D'Albis, the experimental, ambiant duo Taiga. Since February 2008, Fantano and D'Albis have been steadily spreading their own unique brand of "elevator music" through Connecticut, offering something of a sonic massage. "After our second show, someone was asking me what kind of music we were playing," Fantano says. "I went into all this spiel about drone metal and ambient music, but my friend stepped in and said something so poignant that I never would have thought of it, 'If there is a hell, and you have to ride an elevator to get to this hell, then this will be music that plays on the elevator speakers.'" Be it drone metal, ambient music or the kind of sounds that can only be created by a full orchestra, there is no denying that Taiga is loud. Loud, but not defeaning. The loud created by Fantano and D'Albis is the kind of loud that shakes amplifier plugs from their wall sockets. This is the kind of loud that vibrates your very being and can be heard blocks away. Taiga has honed a slow, minimal, and heavy sound that is finding its way out of the basement and into the unsuspecting ears of smooth jazz and avant-garde metal fans. It's an aural assault of bass and drums. It's Taiga. ---------- |
