The Great Quentini : elusive sasquatch percussionist
and hypno-strategy by Daniel Conrad
IAN NAGOSKI
"...throbbing electronic drones controlled by incredibly subtle adjustments to a primitive rig of analog tape decks, CD players, and modulators. The sound hangs free of what Nagoski is doing, and the pace of change is glacial as his processes unfold or achieve equilibrium as if in a thick medium, a melting iceberg in electrified auditory ocean.

JACK ROSE (1/3 of the trio: Pelt)
Jack willll premiere a few brand new, extended compositions for acoustic guitar heavily influenced by the classical Indian raga.
CHARLES COHEN
BleepundBloop Ubermensch, master of the analog Buchla Music Easel, (an electronic instrument developed in the 70s as a portable, self-contained box of oscillators, modulators with a keyboard-like interface that allows for real-time interactivity, processing & composition)
THOMAS C. MOORE:
"Having realized that the audio accompaniment to his sculptures was quite possibly more engaging than the objects he was making, Thomas C. Moore abandoned traditional practices of art making in favor of working with sound. Careful attention is paid to accent spatiality and give tangible form to sound...."
DANIEL CONRAD will participate in two collaborations utilizing his self-built instruments. The first performance will be a duet with Charles Cohen in which he will perform with the wildwave, a system of tone generators acting on a vibrating metal sheet. The second will involve the Chromaccord Light Organ in conjunction with sound by IAN NAGOSKI. Conrad's Chromaccord Light Organ is a unique light performance instrument, which displays colors in rich and ever-changing combinations, while the performer twines through and around the viewer's chromatic afterimages.
THE GREAT QUENTINI fresh from winter's harvest. A hoax of coils and spring and recycled plastic wonder-things. Who knows?
