Hoor-paar-Kraat
Friday, July 30th, Midnight - 3am
on Wm. Berger presents My Castle of Quiet
Anthony Mangicapra is the joker in the deck of noise--a painter, draughtsman and master of eerie sonic collage--also a long-haired, furry-faced, approachable guy, who's always ready with a good/bad joke and amiable conversation. That said, the man has a well-developed dark side, a Pagan nature, and a penchant for making your skin crawl with sound. His project since 2001, Hoor-paar-Kraat, has expanded these notions over many releases (some on Anthony's own Goat Eater Arts label), and encompassed a great many collaborators. Comparisons could be made to the earliest-of-early Current 93 releases, or Nurse With Wound classics like Homotopy to Marie and Thunder Perfect Mind, though Hoor-paar-Kraat is almost as likely to hit the listener with rapid-fire comic cut-ups, as he is to creep you slowly with patiently building, nearly static, haunted hover of the highest order. You're in a chamber inside a pyramid, the air is absolutely fetid, but at least you've got a good drink in your hand, and a semi-comfortable seat--as Hoor-paar-Kraat has deemed it so. Anthony brings a unique performance to the Castle airwaves.
