Noise musicians often possess the uncanny ability to capture beauty in the sonically strange. It’s a gift of improvisation, and truly understanding the process that goes into transforming ruckus into recordable music is its own art. Tokyo’s Ryosuke Kiyasu has mastered this art using a lone snare drum to make brash and heavy experimental jazz. Portland’s own Daniel Menche has well over 50 albums, all filled with intrigue. Doug Theriault’s latest, Drift Boat, is like a marriage of Menche and Kiyasu’s sounds in just three tracks, while Uneasy Chairs and Fiasco have a mathy bent in their creation of clamor. Curious minds should check it out—this show is basically a crash course in the many facets of noise. CERVANTE POPE
