大凶風呂敷 are Cammisa Buerhaus and Tamio Shirashi, a dash of twin impossibilities out of time yet essentially contemporary. They are the best new unit in lower New York City. 26 year old Buerhaus is a leader in the new wave of hand made sound. She puts a youth spin on the Broken Music approach of classically decadent avant-garde sonic events and the plastic esoterica of a figure like, say, Anne Gillis. With
大凶風呂敷, she plays her self built wood organ, half part sound sculpture, half part hallucinatory drone machine. Shirashi needs no introduction; he was a central figure in the Club Minor scene in Japan, jammed in Taco and A-Musik, helped form Fushitsusha, has released various works of site specific saxophone playing.

大凶風呂敷 is a tense drama whose nerve chilling minimalism literally encodes the space for terrifying truths to appear all around you. Theres nothing else like it right now.
