Pneumatic Tubes
Welcome back to the Six Foot Love series at The Wild Detectives. A series of live outdoor performances with numbered seats and limited capacity.
TICKETS: $10/person
An evening of hauntological mystic kosmiche keyboards and woodwinds “folk”.
Pneumatic Tubes is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Jesse Chandler. Originally hailing from Woodstock, New York and now living in Denton, Texas, he is the keyboard and woodwinds player for the bands Midlake and Mercury rev. Grounded here in his own bucolic makings, he opens his imagination to the world with very personal and contemplative compositions. It’s kind of an American Kosmiche Music, a paean to the wild landscapes of the Adirondacks and Catskills of Upstate New York, where he absorbed the area’s rich musical history.
His debut album, Letter form TreeTops, was recently released by the pioneer hauntological British label Ghost Box. Channeling raw memory and landscape, the album came to Chandler as an automatic transmission. Shortly after the death of his father, he holed up alone in the old family home with a few synths, a couple of vintage keyboards, percussion instruments, and of course his beloved flutes and clarinets – the “pneumatic tubes” of his nom de plume. The result is a series of beautifully faded musical photographs. Gentle melodies are propelled along by synth arpeggiators, wind instruments are woven throughout like wild vines binding elements together.
“A Letter from TreeTops blurs the boundaries between Super 8 movies and mystical journeys. It’s a collection of sonic Polaroids with soothing powers, so entirely and genuinely personal it ends up speaking to universal feelings” Camilla Aisa
***DISCLAIMER: In case of inclement weather, the show will be held indoors.***
