DOUCE, FEATURING GISBURG AND PHIL PAINSON
At times, Douce's combination of electronic scratch sounds, dark-hued timbres and female vocals calls to mind the English band Portishead. But the group's expansive, seductively twisting melodies, its bright keyboard sounds and Gisburg's extraordinary range and agility give the band a distinctive, irresistible sound.
-- The New York Times
Back by popular demand, Douce returns to the Music of Invention series after recent performance series in New York City and Berlin. Labeled post-avant trip-hop, the duo features the beautiful, wide-ranging voice of gisburg, a composer and a native of Salzburg, Germany and a solo recording artist on John Zorn's Tzadik label. Using his own samples, Painson lays down highly original and twisted beats, providing a foundation for gisburg's lyricism. Painson has worked behind the console with well-known musicians such as Public Enemy, Tricky, Dave Matthews Band and others, while gisburg performs as a concert singer with new music performers Anthony Coleman, Dieter Schnebel and others.
