HANGEDUP
Hangedup is a Montreal-based duo featuring Gen Heistek (Pest 5000, Sackville) on viola and Eric Craven (Shortwave, Sackville) on drums and percussion. The pair of musicians have known each other for some time and came together in 1999 to begin working on this project, which anchors Gen's locomotive string work to Eric's kinetic drumming.A minimalist pop sensibility prevails in the stripped-down melodicism of the string playing, reminiscent of similarly folk-inspired modern music by the likes Tony Conrad and Arnold Dreyblatt.
