Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio: MM3 will be performing what is being described as
?A Night of Deep Noise? that features Lou Reed on processed and unprocessed guitars,
Ulrich Krieger on tenor sax and live-electronics, and Sarth Calhoun on continuum
and live processing ? a collaborative affair that will see all three musicians
improvise music and make soundscapes. The Metal Machine Trio originally debuted
at the REDCAT Theatre in Los Angeles in October 2008.

Each concert will feature no songs and no vocals. The trio will utilise guitars,
saxophones, continuum, plus an array of electronic treatments that will venture
into deep acoustic space. The collaboration will draw on new music, free jazz,
avant-rock, noise and ambient in a set of intense conceptual pieces and intuitive
improvisations.

There is no Setlist! This is one continuous piece of just under two hours.
I split into 4 30 minute chunks for your listening pleasure! You might want
to listen to Part 1 before burning to CD.

Lou and 'band' walked on stage about 30 minutes before they were scheduled
and set four guitar/amp combos into some sort of resonating low frequency
feedback. After listening to this for a couple of minutes, they walked off
stage and left it for around 30 minutes before returning for the rest of the set.

Experience!
