January 2009

It’s the new year and Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Cham­ber is in a cel­e­bra­tory mood!!

We wish each of you a happy and healthy 2009.
2009 com­mences:
–  our tenth year in exis­tence.
– and a boss-banging bunch of events, some we can speak of now, and some we’ll speak of later. (like the release of our first full stu­dio record­ing in five years.)
For the now, come join us on Sun­day, Jan­u­ary 4th at our home-away-from-home Zebu­lon Cafe in Williams­burg, Brook­lyn. There will be music, a toast, more music and much more toast­ing, and
of course we’ll top that off with a dab of even more music.

With an alumni that amongst oth­ers, con­sists of Vijay Iyer, Matana Roberts, Julia Kent ( Antony & the John­sons ) and Cap­tain Kirk Dou­glas ( The Roots ), we’d like to give a shout-out to our boy, flutist/percussionist and world-renowned instal­la­tion artist Satch Hoyt.
Satch has resided in Berlin the last few years, but that hasn’t stopped him from get­ting his sugar fix as he joined us in Paris last year for our per­for­mance at the Son D’Hiver fes­ti­val and took Lewis Flip Barnes Jr. and Dave Smith into a Paris stu­dio to lay tracks for Satch’s upcom­ing release, “Griots and Cybercrooks.“You can check a few tracks out on Satch’s myspace page  http://www.myspace.com/griotsandcybercrooks
While we are on the sub­ject of record­ing, Satch also has authored a tune on Grace Jones cur­rent release, Hur­ri­cane (PIAS/ Wall of Sound).  His track, “The Funkey” is an addi­tional track on down­load ver­sions and it will only be avail­able on cer­tain ver­sions such as the Japan­ese dig­i­tal down­load­able release.  Get, get get it Satch!!
We have Big, Big news in the com­ing months and that’s all we’ll say.… for now.
Love and Peace in 2009,
Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber
