Slauson Malone 1 • ML Buch

Slauson Malone 1 is a performance piece created by multi-disciplinary, Los Angeles based artist Jasper Marsalis, exploring the possible intersections of popular music and performance art.  His newest album EXCELSIOR was released through Warp Records in October 2023. While jazz is as the centre of this album, the edges are distorted towards cultural interconnection: dub reggae, hip-hop, neo-classical experimentation, ambient and pop sounds are layered into the record. Live, he is accompanied by cellist Nicky Wetherell.

ML Buch is Marie Louise Buch, a Copenhagen-based composer, producer, guitarist and vocalist. Following the debut EP Fleshy 2017 she released her critically acclaimed album Skinned on Danish imprint Anyines in 2020. Suntub is her second full-length release, a double album consisting of 15 tracks, released in October 2023 on new cult label 15 love. In her compositional practice, ML Buch sketches up her music in an almost architectural way. The raw material is generated through immersion in playing and assembling as a way of triggering random magic. Her live performances, both in solo and group formations, are reflective of her love of combining 7-string electric guitars in open tunings with synthetic instruments and electronic experiments.
