MusicPROTEST HEAVEN 7/11: Chris DiMeglio Ensemble07/11/2008 - 10:00pm PROTEST HEAVEN jazz and improvised music series presents: DiMeglio/Levin/McBride/Rosaly Quartet Chris DiMeglio, trumpet Chris DiMeglio is a trumpeter, composer, and vocalist living in New York. He has performed at the Festival of New Trumpet Music, in the Aperto Music Series, and on WKCR's Live Constructions show. His first recording as a leader, "The Open Field" was recorded in July 2007 and will be released in the summer of 2008. Dave Douglas writes, "Chris DiMeglio's music is an astonishing combination of songs, stories, sound effects, and soloing. Chris is a talented trumpeter and composer creating a unique world that unifies jazz, classical and even radio plays. He needs to be heard." Chris is performing in a variety of new collaborations and is on the board of directors for the Festival of New Trumpet Music. Daniel Levin began playing cello at age six. He has performed with Billy Bang, Borah Bergman, Tim Berne, Anthony Braxton, Rob Browm, Whit Dickey, Mark Dresser, Joe Morris, Joe McPhee, William Parker, Warren Smith, and others. Daniel has recorded as a sideman on Clean Feed Records, EMANEM, Not Two, and Rogue Art, and as a leader, on Riti Records and HatHut. "Levin has a sound that ranges from subtle and understated to aggressive; with admirable technique as a performer and a compositional concept that blends structure with freewheeling exploration, he deserves to have his name added to the short list of cellists who are making a mark in improvisational music." -John Kelman, All About Jazz Magazine Born 5 May, 1971 in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, bassist Nate McBride was raised in Seattle and lived there until moving to Boston to attend New Engand Conservatory in 1990.

Musically informed by Black Metal, Free Jazz, Electronic Composition, four track recording and pretty shit, their sound constantly unfolds and overlaps, searching melodically with great sadness and beauty, while overwhelmingly abrasive and terrifying all at once. HeatdeatH is the Void, Infinite Cosmic Despair, and the end of consciousness.
