In the Deep Museum
In the Deep Museum is a new experimental trio featuring Vanessa Skantze (voice and percussion), celadon (noise and keyboards) and natasatán (guitars). The Seattle group's sound ranges from harsh and assaultive to haunting and sublime. In the Deep Museum's performances are entirely improvisational.
In the Deep Museum often collaborates with other experimental musicians and frequently provides music for butoh dance performances.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In the Deep Museum formed in Sept. 2006 from the ashes of an experimental rock band (Rending Sinew, currently re-forming with a different lineup). With a focus on improvised performance, the trio has been playing constantly since its inception. The result is part music, part performance art - engaging yet challenging.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
The band has performed in a variety of settings, from clubs to art galleries to butoh dance performances and workshops. In the Deep Museum has played in Seattle, Portland, OR. and New Orleans and did a brief tour to New York and Europe in spring 2007.
