“Sublimely Heavy.” -the Deli Magazine
“Lily Maase is a composer of powerful originality.” – John Zorn
The Suite Unraveling is a Brooklyn-based instrumental rock trio fronted by guitarist and composer Lily Maase. They have a slight obsession with robots.
And with smashing watermelons.
With one foot planted in the world of rock and roll and the other firmly in the avant-garde, Maase and cohorts Michael Kammers (saxophone/farfisa organ) and Curt Garey (percussion/laptop) embrace influences as broad as Morbid Angel, Ornette Coleman, electronic music, Gallagher, and guitar heroes from the days of yore. The goal? To create something honest and new, steeped in the sensibility of simpler times, but reaching with reckless abandon into the sonic landscape that lays ahead.
In 2010 the Suite Unraveling were composers-in-residency at the University of New Mexico Composers’ Symposium, where they presented music alongside Martin Bresnick and Bill Frisell.
In January 2011 the Suite Unraveling traveled from California to Brooklyn to present 33 evenings of music in 35 days. The group traveled from Brooklyn to upstate New York three times throughout the calendar year and received a grant from Texas A&M University to develop and participate in a distance collaboration with the University’s composition students. The collaboration focused on Maase’s work with Soundpainting–a sign language for live composition–as a means of creating pockets of spontaneity within the Suite Unraveling’s songs.
The grant yielded a three-day residency at Texas A&M followed by a brief tour of rock venues throughout the region, and provided funding for a full-length recording upon the group’s return to NY. The recording was co-produced by Ms. Maase and Brian Scott Herman of SMT/Tree Fort studios, whose recent production credits also include BootBlacks, Teachers, JP & the Gilberts, and Census.
The band was signed to John Zorn’s Tzadik imprint in October 2013 and released their first effort as a trio in August 2014.
