This is an ancient Jabon recording (3rd album) from 1986 in the vein of instrumental Black Flag, Gone and Chrome.

after a 15 year hiatus, the 13th Jabon album is now available.

Continuing Jabon’s alliance with the Lingo Dance Company after the successfully executed “A Glimmer of Hope or Skin of Light”, Jabon performs “dead” again at On The Boards as part of the Northwest New Works Festival. There will be two performances on June 12th and 13th at 8pm. Also on the bill are:

The Offshore Project (Rainbow Fletcher & Ezra Dickinson) – Dance
Corrie Befort – Dance | Live Music
Laara Garcia/Pseudopod Interactive – Dance Theater

Jabon posted his final piece for the Music Monday Project which is a 52 week publishing of improvisational pieces using Absynth,. The Final posting is called “Blood Freak”.

Jabon (I) did the music for this modern dance piece. It is presented in surround.

The next Jabon “performance” will be at the ACT Theater in the Bullitt Cabaret! This is a pre-recorded performance but is presented in surround! This composition accompanies the Lingo Glimmer of Hope or Skin or Light.

Compositionally, I’m supporting the most elegant, majestic, fantastical story of the afterlife that takes place in a Renaissance ballroom. The music follows the vampires, angels, ghosts and spirits as they search for their peace in this purgatory. As breathtaking as Disney’s Haunted Mansion or a David Lynch film.

And as you would expect from a Jabon performance, this dance is haunting, comical, surreal and upbeat. It’s a channeling of the Residents, Squarepusher, Amon Tobin, Gill Melle, and Xasthur.

The dance starts April 22nd and runs Thurs – Sat at 8pm until May 15th. No performance is scheduled on May 1st.

I sound designed this short film.

This record will come out May 4th, 2010. Fans of Amy work on Animal Collective’s “Feels” will really dig this sound.
