In an unshockable city, Rob Cambre manages to enlist artists who update New Orleans’ eccentric culture of creativity.

You can count on Cambre, local musician and promoter, to host unique expressions of music, or as he calls it, “anxious sound,” which is also the name of his production company.

His events (because that’s truly what they are) will impress the most divergent neo-bohemian on the block.

Two memorable performances he’s booked in the past few months were Death Posture and Tatsuya Nakatani.

Death Posture is the creation of Vanessa Skantze, a dancer who formed the performace art collaboration in New Orleans in 2002 with Cambre, guitarist Donald Miller (of Borbetomagus) and fellow performer Alex Haverfield.

Skantze specializes in butoh, a type of Japanese dance dating back to 1959. Her performances are fused with intense passion, which charges the room with high electric energy.

Tatsuya Nakatani is an improvisational percussionist from Japan whose style transcends avant-garde, leaving even the most precise critics head-scratching. He uses bowls, metal objects and even his mouth to make sounds on the drum that may cause jaw dropping.

Cambre also partners with Miller on tabletop electric guitars, accompanying each artist they introduce.The result is lingering, full-bodied noise, adding to the cryptic ambiance also created by unusual tools.

Miller often uses an e-bow, the guitar string wobbling device, to create the effect.

To add some diversity to your New Orleans music experience, look out for the next Rob Cambre event. They always guarantee an odd and enlightening show.
