Polymath percussionist Thor Harris inaugurated “Thor & Friends” in the autumn of 2015 after five years of touring as the percussionist of iconic avant-rock ensemble Swans. The project is intended as a vehicle for experimentation with the conceptual vocabulary of American Minimalism collaborating with a rotating cast of Austin-based musicians.
The
ensemble has three core members, Thor, Peggy Ghorbani and Sarah “Goat”
Gautier — with its line-up expanding and contracting with the flux of
compositional and improvisational contexts. The range of tonal color
depends on what instrumentalists are present or absent from the process
at any given time. They can perform purely acoustic or shaded with hues
of electronic instrumentation, as a stripped-down trio or a large
ensemble.
