Brooklyn
Aaron Moore is an Englishman residing in Brooklyn, New York who plays music with instruments & devices. His primary instruments are drums, voice & trumpet but he generally considers any instrument (or object) playable in one way or another. Moore is a founding member of English experimental music group Volcano The Bear. Now in their 16th year together VTB have been critically acclaimed as one the leading lights in experimental music. A music consisting of both composition & improvisation, a music difficult to describe but one that is always seeking change & taking new directions both accidentally & on purpose. In a 2006 article on the group the Wire magazine described them as “producing some of the finest, wildest British music of the last 10 years on record & on stage”.
Moore’s debut solo album, 2005’s “The Accidental” recorded in Leicester, England was a minimal work primarily using one acoustic instrument per track to create drones, loops and soundscapes. “The Accidental” was described by Foxy Digitalis as “….graceful as a ripple in fresh water, or as a snowfall on a particularly cold January morning”.
Since moving to Brooklyn in late 2006, Moore has been developing his solo work under the name Invisible Sports in a number of ways using drums, voice, melodic percussion, trumpet, tapes & loops. From songs based around said melodic percussion & multi-tracked voice to sprawling epics of progressive looping & ritualistic improvisation. In 2008 he performed his first solo concert in Oslo, Norway followed by shows in France & New York.
Moore has appeared on over 40 albums with various groups & toured extensively in North America & Europe; performing at such prestigious venues as the Pompidou Centre in Paris. He has collaborated/performed with Boredoms, A Hawk & A Hacksaw, UK improvisers Paul Dunmall & Mark Sanders, Canadian film maker Michael Snow, Bill Drummond, Swedish sax man Mats Gustaffson, Argentinian guitarist Alan Courtis, C Spencer Yeh, Thierry Muller, Tom Recchion, Nightingales and Steve Mackay (The Stooges).
Moore’s other musical projects past & present include Gospel Of Mars, Wizards Of Oi, Müller-Moore-Music, Dragon Or Emperor, Amolvacy, Courtis/Moore, Songs Of Norway and Paris based Textile Orchestra.
