NEW SINGLE WITH THE SPACE LADY - This Tuesday 6/17

 


Gazelle 2.0: Two Casiotone Heroines Defeat the Evil Gazelle: This is the 10th anniversary of Glockabelle's French-English Gazelle track, originally released in 2015 on her debut EP, Wolf BBQ. To celebrate, Glockabelle sought out the help of her self-proclaimed Casio sister mom, The Space Lady, to join her on this epic  new version. The Gazelle is a declaration of utmost freedom and independence, an anthem about answering to no one, a song of rebellion and relentless determination and doing whatever it takes to protect that freedom. : "No I am not your gazelle, and you, you are not my gazelle, but you stay stuck in my teeth like a caramel." The Space Lady reinforces this message, almost as if she were Glockabelle's fairy godmother, adding: "Your only chance at freedom is to rebel. Rebel! Rebel! Rebel! Rebel!"  The Space Lady and Glockabelle find themselves on the verge of drowning in a river of caramel, headed straight for the chompers of the evil two-headed Gazelle, yet with their magical keyboards, stop and shatter the Gazelle's teeth before it's too late.


"I felt honored to participate in this extraordinary musical creation,” explains The Space Lady. “I love how [Glockabelle] used the two rhyming words “gazelle” and “rebel” — one depicting fleetness, and the other non-conformance. It goes without saying, the closer we are pushed toward tyranny the more we will need to embody both qualities. To paraphrase Dylan Thomas: We must not go gentle into that Dark Night!"


In this revamped version of the Gazelle, all instruments are performed and arranged by Glockabelle including her standard setup of two Casio VL-Tones, a Yamaha MR-10 drum machine as well as some epic vintage Soviet synthesizers: the Aelita (coined the "Queen of the Soviet Synthesizers") and the Formanta Polivoks. The track was recorded at Figure 8 Studios by Eli Crews and mixed and mastered by Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets.


The video was directed by Perhapsy (Derek Barber) using a combination of green screen footage and animation.

NEW RELEASE ++ AN F SHARP IN A WHITE ROOM

 



It was 2006 and I was living in an artist's studio in the 14th arrondissement in Paris. My studio was all white: white sheets, white carpet, white walls. One day, a neighbor commented to me: "Your room is all white but you always dress in black. It's like you are trying to imitate the keys of your piano." She was onto something.

It was in this same studio that I borrowed my first Casio VL-Tone from a neighbor and experimented with my first set of thimbles. I was a classical pianist and was be
ginning to go through my classical rebellion. So I started translating my technique into something my own and decided to abandon the ivories for calculator buttons and metallic pling.

Some of the pieces on this album are by classical greats you might recognize: Bach, Haydn, Debussy. The rest are by me: Bhangrian - a piece inspired by Indian classical music, Gliss Gliss Underwood - a piece inspired by the prepared piano music of John Cage and percussion of Harry Partch and Hommage au Fromage - a piano trio for violin, cello and piano which musically portrays a cat, a mouse and a piece of cheese.

I hope you enjoy.

The Surf Glock EP

NEW RELEASE! ⚡️☠️ It’s #bandcampfriday so i’ve decided it’s time to share my Surf Glock EP. I’ve been holding onto this one for a long time but today is the day to let her rip. This band was first known as Mano Fico (The Fig Hand), then Foxglove. I was obsessed at the time with surf rock and Dick Dale so I formed the first ever surf glock band. It was recorded by Jake Loewenstein of Sebadoh at the house of one of the Dirty Projectors. Foxglove included Adam Fisher on bass. Adam Fisher was a beloved sound engineer in Brooklyn who tragically passed away in 2013. Rest in peace, Adam. This release is for you. ✨

BACH TO THE FUTURE MARATHON 2020 (RI)

Looks like a Casio, Feels like a Piano

Glockabelle plays two Casio-VL Tones and a glockenspiel with eight thimbles. She would like to apologize to J.S. Bach in advance for transcribing two of his preludes to one-centimeter plastic calculator buttons. It seemed like a good idea at the time. She would also like to thank Middlebury College for allowing her to perform one prelude on their concert grand piano. She hopes this has redeemed her in Bach’s esteem with some semblance of elegance and class. www.glockabelle.com

LA NUIT DEST MUSÉES À ROANNE

On the night of May 18, 2019, fifteen strangers met in a fine arts Museum in the French town of Roanne. They wore paper boat hats and marched to my thimble glock rendition of Erik Satie's Gnossienne No. 1. Why? Why not.
