<\/a>Lopez started the collective, which he runs out of Mission Valley, in 2012 as a way to bring noise musicians together for both collaboration and bookings in San Diego. He used the social media forum MySpace to \u201cpick up that noise flag\u201d and say anyone who is into noise music, you are welcome here! Stay Strange now hosts a monthly music series and has a core of four different noise musicians.<\/p>\n
Lopez compares appreciating noise music to \u201cliking dark chocolate.\u201d It\u2019s a specific taste, but those who love it De Verdad<\/em> love it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt produces a loud, emotional, chaotic, sometimes serene and calm, reaction,\u201d Lopez said.<\/p>\n Producing emotion is part of what drives noise music. Lopez used to be a more traditional guitar player with melodies and harmonies and hooks; the first time he played noise music at a show he booked, the club owner got so furious he was almost spitting.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was done, he came up and started unplugging my equipment and said \u2018no more!\u2019\u201d Lopez recalled. \u201cI thought, \u2018Yes! This is awesome.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n What was awesome was not that Lopez lost the gig, but that the noise music caused such a strong reaction.<\/p>\n The reactions hoped to elicit from the Hand of God show will be both emotional and spiritual. Lopez has desired to explore conceptual spirituality through noise music for several years now. The opportunity finally arrived when he was asked to be a panelist on the \u201cVanishing Art Spaces and Venues\u201d discussion, hosted by Radio Axiom in November.<\/p>\n He happened to be sitting next to another panelist, ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station Executive Director Alan Ziter. One of the points raised was converging missions and forces to save some of these venues. Lopez leaned over to Ziter and, half hoping, half serious, said \u201cLet me get one of those old abandoned buildings.\u201d Rather than giving a noncommittal brush-off, Ziter responded affirmatively \u2013 and within a month, the Hand of God event was on the books.<\/p>\n \u201cThe idea of doing something spiritual in the chapel? Perfect! The mood, atmosphere, sound \u2013 it\u2019s perfect,\u201d Lopez declared.<\/p>\n This perfect event is about breaking down walls, illusions, and barriers. Severing ties with expectation and disappointment. Several noise musicians will be participating and bringing a wide variety of sounds with them. The no know (sound band) is coming with an accordion, violin and percussion instruments. Japanese sound artist and percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani is bringing his adapted gong and handcrafted Koko bow. Monochromacy and Bill Orcutt do their musical improvisation on the electric guitar. Each musician is meant to bring out different emotions and feelings.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Monochromacy, you feel the darkness creep inside you, and by the time it\u2019s out, it\u2019s turned into light,\u201d Lopez said.<\/p>\n In between musical acts, look up to the chapel\u2019s loft. Progressive tubist Jonathon Piper will be playing as Codex Confiteor. According to Lopez, Confiteor has been described as \u2018medieval organum meets doom metal.\u2019 While he plays, soprano Meghann Walsh will sing out written sins submitted by patrons of the event.<\/p>\n In the sanctuary of the chapel, Lopez\u2019s wife, Fatima Courroux, will be offering tarot readings. The readings are free with donations kindly accepted.<\/p>\n The whole event comes without cost thanks to the Naval Training Center (NTC) Foundation and ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station.<\/p>\n \u201cOver the past 10 years, [NTC] has worked to revitalize the former base and its historic venues into a destination that features arts, culture and unique experiences,\u201d Ziter said. \u201cOur goal in sponsoring events like this meets a community need by providing space for San Diego\u2019s most innovative arts groups to engage, perform and connect.\u201d<\/p>\n The North Chapel is located at 2881 Roosevelt in Liberty Station.

He happily destroyed eardrums with the influential improvisational trio Harry Pussy, creating dangerous waves of jagged notes with his electric guitar. After a decade-long hiatus, Bill returned with a battered acoustic guitar and a vengeance to create music that is powerful in presentation yet delicate and nuanced.<\/p>\n Tatsuya Nakatani<\/strong> is a master percussionist from Osaka, Japan. He uses drums, gongs, cymbals and mixed metal objects to create dynamic symphonies that evoke energies both dark and light. Tatsuya\u2019s performances begin calm and serene. But like a human tornado, his sets become chaotic, frenzied and dangerous. Metal bells clang like the gates of hell, bowed bells ring high slicing the air like knives. Timbres cross with perplexity and confusion.<\/p>\n Monochromacy<\/strong> is the guitar-drone project of Esteban Flores. Flores\u2019 specially tuned guitar is run through a dizzying array of effect pedals which then produce sounds that begin ghostly, casually metamorphosing into bleak shades of din. Volume is part of the performance. Not only can you see the colors of the dying light but you can feel them creep into your body.<\/p>\n No know (sound band)<\/strong> are a duo consisting of Sean Conway, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, shaman and Andrew Bracken, percussionist. no know (sound band) play avant-garde church music. Sean will reach angelic heights utilizing his voice as an instrument. Wordless, guttural and transcending while scraping his violin, accordion or harmonium. Andrew creates rhythm, sometimes to the beat, other times against it.<\/p>\n \u2014 Se puede contactar a la escritora independiente Joyell Nevins en\u00a0joyellc@gmail.com<\/a>.
