Agua Trip and Modern Dance: Shell Shocked

Agua Trip Tribal Leader — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:58:20 +0000

Agua Trip has always the enjoyed the world of modern dance, and has been lucky enough to be a part of the scene in New York, whether while performing at numerous Benefits for Isabel Gotzkowsky and Friends or by co-directing The Moveable Feast series of art parties. Now, we are proud to add to that list another accomplishment; providing the music to Shell Shocked by the Barkin/Selissen Project.

In Shell Shocked, Barkin/Selissen Project chose to use Ubatuba and Sleep Trips and Falls from our album Genetics as a musical backdrop to their exploration of the different aspects of people’s short and long term responses to traumatic events.

You can watch an excerpt of Shell Shocked on Vimeo. Ubatuba starts at the 5:20 mark. I would suggest watching the whole thing though, it’s pretty interesting.

Peace and Music,
Agua Trip

Agua Trip jam with “¿Threat?” in 2002 (Audio)

Agua Trip Tribal Leader — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 05:23:07 +0000

This brings back some old memories!

In 2001 there was a band called ¿Threat? which featured our pal Professor Rockwell fulfilling the DJing duties. We were at his hacienda in Brooklyn (a.k.a Spencer Street Cinemas) hanging with the Professor and Jules, the accordion-wielding lyricist, and happened to record this impromptu jam. For some reason, Lindsey’s mandolin part wasn’t recorded, which he regrets very much because, of course, he felt that it was brilliant. You can hear Bill chucking and riffing on guitar, Professor Rockwell on the tables, our at-that-era bassman Andrew Cooper, and Jules on improvisational wordage.

It’s loose and rough, but a gas to listen to.
