The 12th full-length by Pacific Northwest artist Liz Harris aka Grouper is a collection of songs spanning 15 years. She characterizes Shade as an album about respite, and the coast, poetically and literally. How we frame ourselves in a landscape, how in turn it frames ourselves; memories and experiences carried forward mapping our connection to place.
-- An ode to blue / What lives in shade --
Songs touch on loss, flaws, hiding places, love. Deep connections to the Bay Area, and the North Coast, with its unique moods of solitude, beauty, and isolation--a place described and transformed by the chaos and power of river-mouth, wild maritime storms, columns of mist that rise up unexpectedly on the road at night. Portions were recorded on Mount Tamalpais during a self-made residency years back, other pieces made longer ago in Portland, while the rest were tracked during more recent sessions in Astoria.
Throughout, Harris threads a hidden radiant language of voice, disquiet, and guitar, framed by open space and the sense of being far away.
Echoing a lighthouse, burying the faults of being human / Into things that we project upon the sky at night.
~~~~~~~~
Since 2005 Harris has been performing and recording under the name Grouper, and around that time she began focusing on drawings involving intricate black ink work, as well as making video collage used in conjunction with musical performances. Divide presents a selection of the pieces she has made in these mediums from the last year and a half.
Seattle-based artist Jamie Potter will show recent video work, which he created using a variety of cameras, monitors, and outboard effects processors. Experiments that led to these techniques began in 2005 while earning his BFA in ceramics at the University of Washington. Synthesizers are responsible for most of the accompanying music and sound.
