The OCM Open at MAO January 2008
Oxford Contemporary Music scanned the city to find the most promising and innovative new talent to perform as part of the ‘OCM Open’: a mini-music festival held at Modern Art Oxford. The selected acts, which range from folk to jazz, flamenco to blues, perfomed over the weekend of the 12th and 13th January in the Piper gallery at Modern Art Oxford, against the backdrop of The Oxford Open exhibition.
The selected acts were: Mike Mason (electronica/experimental), who recently finished the soundtrack for the feature film “That Deadwood Feeling” starring David Soul, Jack Davenport and Dexter Fletcher; Malenc la Vosse (reflective folk), a 26 year old singer/songwriter living in Oxford who plays music in the vein of early Leonard Cohen, Red House Painters and Damien Jurado; Aiden Canaday (psychedelic folk), who writes hauntingly beautiful dark piano and pink guitar songs; Duotone (acoustic alternative), a.k.a. Barney Morse-Brown, who uses live loops combining both the cello and guitar producing carefully crafted songs with a clever use of timing and dynamics, creating the sound of anything from a single voice and guitar, to carefully layered guitars backed by a full string ensemble; and Mewgatz (leftfield electronica), based out of a bedroom in Oxfordshire and armed with an arsenal of home-made instruments, from modified 80s Casios to keytars and kids toys, Little Eiffel make some of the most schizophrenic and chaotic yet beautifully subtle and fragile music you will ever hear; Samantha Twigg Johnson (Flamenco blues) After gaining her sea legs on Chicago’s vibrant open mic scene, Samantha began performing professionally in 2002. Her voice combines the tight articulation and sultry delivery of a Peggy Lee, with the raw darkness of a PJ Harvey. Her guitar playing bears the marks of her flamenco and classical training.
