About the album

Trevor Dunn - bass | Adam Levy - guitar |Kenny Wollesen - drums

"Debutantes & Centipedes", examines a twisted musical side of the 20th century psyche. Deeply informed by the literary work of French Surrealists and the films of Bunuel it is music that is characterized by curious juxtapositions, shameless passion, l'amour fou, the inquiry of Breton, the brutality of Laurteamont. Though eclectic, this music is not cut-and-paste; it is an organic reconciliation of the melodic and the non-melodic, the distorted and the clean, the growl of wood and the bite of metal, the humorous and the suicidal and it presupposes a place where these things cease to be perceived as contradictions. Imagine Mingus' drummer Danny Richmond sitting behind John Bonham's kit; imagine Bill Evans plugged into Hendrix's amp; imagine Coltrane's bassist Jimmy Garrison playing through an envelope filter. This music is dark and strange.

Trevor Dunn

Bassist Trevor Dunn is already known for his intense musical diversity:  1) as  co-founder/composer of the avant-rock band Mr. Bungle (currently working on their 3rd disk for Warner Bros.) and 2) as the ubiquitous sideman of countless groups in the jazz circuit of the San Francisco Bay Area; groups like Graham Connah's Sour Note Seven (Andrew Hill/Mingus inspired septet), Ben Goldberg's various Trios and Sextets, Junk Genius (anarchist bebop found on the Knitting Factory label) and John Schott's Diaglossia Ensemble.  With a background in  punk/death metal, the instrumental and compositional studies of contemporary classical music, and the experience in playing blues, standards and free-jazz, Trevor is now leading his own Trio-Convulsant with guitarist Adam Levy and drummer Kenny Wollesen in...

Trevor has also worked with the Kronos Quartet, the ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Tom Waits, Wayne Horvitz, William Winant, Beth Custer, Terry Riley, James Tenny, Ellery Eskalin, Gerry Hemmingway, Wadada Leo Smith, Joe Gore, Naut Humon, Henry Kaiser, John Tchicai, Mark Izu, Eyvind Kang, Donald Bailey, and Hal Stein. Trevor is currently working on a new Hardcore project FANTOMAS with Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo (Slayer) and Buzz Osbourne (Melvins).
