Kim Meets Phantom Orchard
March 10, 2008

A new interesting project featuring Kim will make its world premiere on September 26th 2008.

"World Premiere! Kim Gordon Meets Phantom Orchard plus guests:
The Song Project featuring Ikue Mori, Zeena Parkins and special guests bassist Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, John Zorn, Fantomas) and drummer Yoshimi (The Boredoms).

Rich in details. Vital and immediate. Innovative, beautiful and dangerous. The Song Project brings together for the first time the talents of important contributors to the current alternative music scene from the United States and Japan. Kim Gordon, visual artist and founding member of Sonic Youth, collaborates with Phantom Orchard: laptop artist Ikue Mori and harp innovator Zeena Parkins to create and premiere in concert a set of new songs. The artists are developing the project in part as fellows of Montalvo Arts Center�s Lucas Artists Programs residency".

Sonic Youth, initially comprising of guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer Glenn Branca. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and have now recorded 14 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time.
