    Nameless Sound presents Nmperign with Jason Lescalleet, Sunday, March 6 at 8pm at labotanica, 2316 Elgin.

    Featuring:

    Jason Lescalleet (Maine) - tape loops, electronics

    Nmperign (Bhob Rainey - soprano saxophone, Greg Kelley - trumpet) was formed in 1998, but began working regularly with tape loop maestro Jason Lescalleet the following year. This trio developed a sound quite different from the members' individual works - a dense mix of lo-fi grit and precise, pure sounds that go from glacially slow and quiet to blisteringly loud and frenetic.

    The trio of Nmperign & Jason Lescalleet made its first recorded appearance in 1999 on This is Nmperign's 2nd CD (Twisted Village Records), which was followed immediately by In which the silent partner-director is no longer able to make his point with the industrial dreamer (Intransitive Recordings).

    But it was 2006's double CD Love Me Two Times (Intransitive Recordings), a five-year endeavor encompassing a stunning range of styles, fidelities, and emotions, that solidified this trio's reputation as a genre-crossing juggernaut operating in its own league of contemporary noise, improvisation, and electroacoustic composition. Praise for Love Me Two Times was nearly universal, and it continues to be cited as a benchmark recording in experimental music.

    Live performances by Nmperign & Jason Lescalleet are rare but always significant events. Their 2010 performance at Chicago's Neon Marshmallow festival was hailed as "The best of the fest…. left jaws on the floor. Probably in my top 5 favorite performances ever… The triumph of craft and deep listening" (Chris Sienko - Gapers Block). They similarly shook the fillings out of teeth in Glasgow at Instal 06, and in Somerville, MA, at the Brainwashed Festival 2008.
