Chris Corsano and Dis Fig in session
Jennifer Lucy Allan presents an improvised session between drummer Chris Corsano and vocalist and producer Dis Fig, percussive sounds from Bolivia and grotty Midlands dub-punk.
Jennifer Lucy Allan presents a fiery improvised session between eclectic drummer Chris Corsano and abrasive vocalist, producer, DJ and performer Dis Fig aka Felicia Chen, who met for the first time for our special collaboration session.
Based in New York, Corsano has been active at the intersections of collective improvisation, free jazz, avant-rock, and experimental music since the late 1990s, playing with Joe McPhee, Paul Flaherty, Bill Orcutt, Jim O'Rourke and Björk to name but a few. His solo work merges extended drum-playing techniques, sound from non-percussive instruments and modified reed instruments.
Dis Fig emerged from New York’s DIY experimental and club scene, releasing her first album in 2018, and later relocated to Berlin, where she has continued to produce music that oscillates from heavy noise to delicate choir-like vocals. Inspired by anything from techno to hardcore through r‘n’b and ambient, her production is defined by a raw, emotional depth.
Plus, Jennifer picks airy percussive sounds of Bolivian composer Cergio Prudencio's Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments, Midlands dub-punk from 1980s group Reducer and new music from The Handover, a trio playing expansive sounds rooted in Arabic and Egyptian traditional forms.
