Excerpts from Roulette concerts by improvising activist guitarist Derek Bailey, with commentary by musician/professor/author David Grubbs (Records Ruin The Landscape). Emerging from the London free improv scene, between 1986-99 Bailey tapped New York musicians to engage in his wildly diverse Company Weeks, in groupings and pairings with John Zorn (sax), Carlos Zingaro (violin), Ikue Mori (electronic percussion), Jim Staley (trombone), Ciro Baptiste (percussion), Jamaladeen Tacuma (bass), Calvin Weston (drums), Susie Ibarra (percussion), Richard Teitelbaum (electronics), and Greg Bendian (percussion). John Zorn is honoring Derek Bailey with three Nights of Improvisation at Roulette, Jan. 19-21, 2023.

"In honor of black music month, I created a mix of some of my favorite tracks, records, artists and labels from the 90s to present. The mix spans across different eras and subgenres of house music, keeping depth of rhythm and emotion at the forefront. It showcases my taste for deep cuts, off kilter sounds, and classic underground Chicago and Detroit themes, moving from low to high energy across 90 minutes.  Dedicated to all black music makers past and present. "

Having spent much of her youth deep in Cologne’s techno scene while staying connected to Georgia’s electronic music culture, Mariami brings a blend of both influences to her sets. Since 2021, she has been part of the Brutalism label and actively curates nights in Germany. Gentle yet assertive, her sound weaves delicate, organic textures with warmth, and powerful basslines. She loves exploring contrasts, crafting long transitions that seamlessly move between seemingly opposing sounds.

Mariami | The Echo Sound Series 009

the leaves upon the street

Olivier Di Placido & Fritz Welch (electric guitar + percussion, objects and voice) began working together in 2014 with the intention of shifting energy through maximum storm surge gymnastics. The duo discards all navigation markers in favor of a shared interest in the simultaneous deconstruction of instruments and vocabularies. They play with a dense concrete simplicity that layers amplified and acoustic sounds with spectral shards and naked realism.
