Empty House Cooperative and David Michael Curry's various bands & related music with tangents that include the visual and musical poetics of architectural and societal decay. Sounds heavy, eh?

Pictures from "Thunderclaps and Iron Pours" by The Iron Guild, with music by Empty House Cooperative
Stormy weather was the theme of the Iron Guild's September 4, 2010 iron pour in Rutland, Vermont at Mac Steel scrapyard. "Thunderclaps and Iron Pours" used a massive stage setting constructed of towers and tanks, sculpture torches, fire, molten iron lightening bolt rivers, and sparkling showers of flaming curtains of steel wool. Thundering cannon shots and fireworks helped celebrate the elements. Live musical accompaniment by Empty House Cooperative featured viola, guitar, waves of amplified feedback, home-made instruments, loops and pre-recorded sounds from nature. Members of the Iron Guild worked their magic with the fiery cupola furnace & molten metal and danced among sparks in leather protective gear.
Below is the music from the almost one hour long event, followed by pictures showing preparations, the music setup, and the iron pour.
I play viola and other instruments in rock bands & improvisational groups, including Empty House Cooperative, Thalia Zedek Band, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Metal & Glass Ensemble, Hidden Tooth, Grizzler, and others... I'm getting into music for theater, dance, and film & looking to do more...
Empty House Cooperative is improvised music with DMC and friends, most often including cellist Jonah Sacks, guitarist Chris Brokaw, and others.
