The New Yorker: GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN
DIAMOND TERRIFIER AND MIVOS QUARTET
Jan. 18: Sam Hillmer, who is the saxophonist for the downtown avant-chamber group Zs, also leads Diamond Terrifier, a sax-and-electronics project named for Vajrabhairava, an irate Buddhist deity with nine faces, thirty-four hands, and sixteen legs. The group’s first album, comprising its long-form, drone-oriented songs, will be produced by Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor and released through Northern Spy Records this September. Hillmer and company open for the MIVOS Quartet, which premières a string quartet by Patrick Higgins. The piece, based on Proust’s reflections on memory and recollection, marks Higgins’s début as a classical composer; he is more well known as a gifted guitarist at home on the more brutal, punky fringes of the prog-rock community.
