Dan Deacon
Dan
Deacon has spent most of 2009 doing things on a large scale - he toured
with an ensemble ranging from 13 to 17 people, played large festivals
like Lollapalooza, did the Round Robin tour with No Age and Deerhunter
(aka No Deachunter) and even collaborated with an entire marching band
(Providence's What Cheer? Marching Band, who joined him in Chicago this
past weekend).
Now Deacon is taking things a bit back to
basics, with a slew of Fall dates that will feature him performing
solo. As he puts it:
"Solo tour: expansion of my floor show set, immersive experience, heavy emphasis on visuals."
About Dan Deacon's Bromst:
The art made by Baltimore
artist Dan Deacon is about community and how to organize and inspire it. From
founding a now well-known art collective (Wham City), to organizing and running
an annually sold-out DIY music festival (Whartscape), to conceiving, planning
and curating a massive 60 person/30 band tour (Baltimore Round Robin Tour),
it's clear to see that community and bringing people together is the major
theme of his work. Bromst is the
embodiment of that way of thinking.
For the last three years
Dan Deacon has been working on Bromst.
Fusing together the growing intensity of his live performances with his
background in electro-acoustic composition, the outcome is a collection of
pieces that are intense and epic and at the same time down to earth and
welcoming. Bromst embodies the same energy and excitement as Spiderman
of the Rings, however the craftsmanship and composition on Bromst
have a wider scope and richer palette.
Unlike the completely
electronic Spiderman of the Rings, the
instrumentation on Bromst is a mixture
of acoustic instruments, mechanical instruments, samples and electronics. The
player piano, marimba, glockenspiel, vibraphone, live drums, winds and brass
give Bromst a much richer tone than
his previous work. The intricate and complex parts, skillfully executed by the
performers, are woven together into a rich, dense, noisy dance pop that has
become Dan Deacon's signature sound.
