Sounds Like"Here we have a homegrown, full blown young musical visionary, and a window into a part of the new San Francisco sound. This train is headed somewhere..." PURE MUSIC

“She’s the freshest voice in San Francisco” SAN FRANCISCO MAGAZINE

"...Enviaby literate and awesomely disciplined, Venable amplifies her power through a riveting soprano voice that stuns and enraptures so thouroughly that multiple listenings are required to begin unraveling her mysteries of music and meaning..." SF BAY GAURDIAN

“Noe Venable’s shivering, gravelly soprano and ghostly melodies are like poems and exorcisms...” PORTLAND MERCURY

"...the eerie guitar effects and hypnotic loops that haunt the corners of songs such as "Feral" distance Venable even further from the conventional singer-songwriter genre, giving her more in common with Tom Waits and Radiohead than with Joni Mitchell or Bob Dylan." ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAGAZINE

"Ravishingly melodic" ANI DIFRANCO in introduction onstage...

   About Noe Venable
Profile Edited by Myspace Layouts, Myspace Graphics and Myspac Hacks MySpace Editor

.: NOE'S ALBUMS ARE AVAILABLE AT NOE'S WEBSITE, AMAZON, AND AT CD BABY. thanks for asking XO :.

Noe Venable is a singer-songwriter, composer, and poet. Having honed her songwriting and musicianship within the context of San Francisco’s rich experimental and jazz music scene, Venable has gone on to wider recognition through the release of five albums, as well as national tours opening for artists from Ani DiFranco to They Might be Giants. Venable has shared stages with artists as diverse as Patti Smith, Gillian Welch, Robyn Hitchcock, Carla Bozulich and Tom McRae.

Venable’s most recent release, The Summer Storm Journals, was four years in the making. Lyrically, its songs often explore the theme of lost or misplaced childhood as a place of wonder, darkness and possibility. Many songs also have a mystical strain. Here Venable cites David Abram and Wendell Berry as influences, as well as a winter spent as a composer in residence Caldera Arts in Sisters, Oregon, recording snowfall and listening to streams.

Produced with Venable’s longtime collaborator, bassist Todd Sickafoose , the album features a stellar cast of musicians, including violinist Alan Lin , guitarist Adam Levy, (Norah Jones), and avant garde marimba virtuoso, Payton MacDonald, (Alarm Will Sound).

As well as performing her own music, Venable often sings on the projects of others. She can be heard on albums by Ani DiFranco, John Vanderslice, Faun Fables, and Vienna Teng. Film credits include Cherish, by Finn Taylor, which used Venable's songs in its score and soundtrack.

In addition to her work as a songwriter, Venable is also a teacher committed to empowering young people through the arts. A passionate believer in the capability of imagination to liberate, Venable has taught creative writing, songwriting, theater and visual arts, working with youth ages nine to nineteen in a variety of settings. In service of this dimension of her work, she holds a masters degree in education from Harvard Divinity School.

Venable's experience as a teacher is the subject of a new work, her one-person play, The Homecomer, which she wrote and performed for the Harvard community in June of 2009. Featuring original music, monologue, and spoken word, the play looks at the challenges and rewards of teaching in a public high school. The play is based on her experience teaching English Language Arts to high school students in Arlington, Massachusetts. Venable looks forward to New York and San Francisco performances of the play some time next year.

She has also started work on a new album, for release in 2010.

 “ …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell.  Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press

Hello to everybody ! Great news !!

Audiomachie / Logomachie

(Berger rond, #VVSBR05)
(2009) SOCAN

1) Audiomachie (6:21)
2) Une ombre vacille en serpentin virevoltant (6:58)
3) Bruissement de griserie (9:55)
4) Propensity to go forward (7:36)
5) Drawing of a Back with a Mouth (4:24)
6) Second Life (3:50)

(39:12)

- The project was about trying to explore different poetry styles, always with different instrumentations and musical structures because I don't want to repeat a single one
- An album not directly linked to the four previous ones, but with the impossible to avoid come back to fetish themes
- Second Life is about the technological phenomena, but I got better things to do with my life than spending it on the clone of a capitalist society
- We might as well hope for a real bankrupcy for all of us, it would be worth it to kill capitalism

Most of you will just want to listen to the music made available. Well, here it is with great streaming (right after MA VIE est ICI which is a reminder of my previous album conclusion)
