Shelley Burgon – pedal harp
Trevor Dunn – contrabass

This unique, totally acoustic duo of bass and harp have been a part of the downtown music scene in New York City since 2001, playing venues such as Tonic, Barbes, The Issue Project Room andThe Brooklyn
Conservatory. Their repertoire consists of both strictly notated compositions as well as purely improvised music—a repertoire that walks the line between chamber music and extended technique. Utilizing
instruments that are typically buried by thick orchestration, Burgon and Dunn make the most of their distinct setting by exploring subtle and sometimes barely audible properties of sound. Their dynamic range is as vast as their sonic palette. Between haunting, minor melodies one may hear bass strings played with mallets and harp strings pummeled with a metal rod.

Shelley has recorded and performed with the following projects; Eyvind Kang’s early music project of Atalanta Fugiens by Michael Maier, a quintet interpreting the American Jazz Songbook with saxophonist Jackson Moore and trumpeter Nate Wooley, and in a large ensemble of downtown New York musicians led by drummer Kenny Wolleson with music by various living composers and conduction by Butch Morris.

Trevor Dunn known for his involvement in avant-rock bands Mr. Bungle and Fantomas, has recently been playing with John Zorn’s Electric Masada, David Krakauer’s Klezmer Madness, Susie Ibarra, Marc Ribot and Jenny Scheinman. He can be heard on over forty recordings including his own Trio-Convulsant, whose new CD “Sister Phanom Owl Fish” was released on Ipecac Recordings in July, 2004. The trio completed a six week tour opening for The Melvins in the Fall of 2004.
