9pm Loop 2.4.3's Time-Machine_music - Thomas Kozumplik (aka Loop 2.4.3)
combines man's oldest instruments (percussion and voice) with electronics and time-based effects to create an other-worldly musical journey.

Eric Glick Rieman has assembled a small cast of improviser/performers for this set. On the docket, find his graphic scores made in collaboration with snails (http://www.ericglickrieman.com/scores.html), free/open improvisation, and perhaps a piece from his vaults ("She Dolls with Dollies" - from 2000 - created using a codification system analyzing the words from the poem of the same name by Dada poet Kurt Schwitters).

Thomas Kozumplik (aka Loop 2.4.3) combines man's oldest instruments (percussion and voice) with electronics and time-based effects to create an other-worldly musical journey. The material deals with literally and figuratively manipulating and experiencing "time" in different ways, from a personal and social perspective, and is alternately contemplative, melodic, rhythmic, poignant, and cathartic. Please see www.loop243.com for more.
This concert is part of a California tour that will take the “Time-Machine” to Santa Cruz, Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Studio City, Whittier, and Joshua Tree. The engagements include concerts at clubs and arts centers, as well as outreach programs for students from elementary to college level, arranged through Look 2.4.3’s label, Music Starts From Silence (www.MusicStartsFromSilence.com).
