Description
"Charming Hostess is a whirl of eerie harmony, hot rhythm and radical braininess. Their music explores the intersection of text and the sounding body- complex ideas expressed physically, based on voice and vocal percussion, handclaps and hearbeats, sex-breaths and silence."Charming Hostess's workshop performance tonight will draw on music from their upcoming release on Tzadik records, The Bowls Project, a performance installation based on sex, magic and the apocalypse in Babylonian Jewish amulets. Inspiration for the project came from “incantation bowls”—bowls inscribed with a householder’s secrets and desires, then buried under the home. The texts speak of mysticism and sex, angels and demons, and the trials and joys of love and sex. Especially audible are the voices of women—their work, hopes, and dreams. The Bowls Project offers a visceral connection to daily life 1500 years ago in the region now known as Iraq."
