Helen Money (US / Minimalisme Noise / Thrill Jockey)
BANDCAMP

Helen Money, de son vrai nom Alison Chesley, commence le violoncelle à l’âge de 8 ans quelque part près de Los Angeles. Avec des inspirations allant de Pablo Casals à Shostakovich mais aussi de Jimi Hendrix au punk, la virtuose de la Cité des Anges maîtrise totalement son instrument pour se détacher des conventions classiques et se rapprocher de l’underground californien.
Violoncelle amplifié et par moment maltraité, effets noisy, boîte à rythmes et samples de piano – les techniques de jeu de la “one woman hardcore band” défrisent à tous les coups les puristes.

Helen Money stands as one of the most unique and versatile cellists working today. Composer Alison Chesley uses the instrument to access and channel the extremities of human emotion, employing extensive sonic manipulation and an array of plucking and bowing techniques to summon an astonishing breadth and depth of sound. A prolific collaborator, Chesley is equally at home in both New Music and Metal circles. Past albums saw her collaborate with Jason Roeder (Sleep/Neurosis) and Rachel Grimes (Rachel’s), and she has toured extensively with Shellac, Russian Circles, Earth, Bob Mould and MONO. On her new album Atomic, Chesley pushes even further out towards the extremes of her output with a daring leap forward in her songwriting through minimalist arrangements that stand as her most intimate, direct, and emotionally bare work to date.
