Liz Allbee, solo trumpet/electronics
Dog House Riley (
Phillip Greenlief, saxophone, Lauren Tietz, dancer, texts by Dottie Grossman)
duo B., a drums and bass chamber improv group, performs a new live interactive video+sound work in collaboration with multimedia composer Jeremy Hunt, as well as a collection of graphic scores by Wadada Leo Smith, Aaron Bennett, Jon Raskin,
Phillip Greenlief and others, which will be projected onto a screen for the visual enjoyment of all.
Liz Allbee, who has played/recorded with Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor, Porest, Hans Grusel and Le Flange du Mal, is a fierce and focused improviser with an awesome command of sound and texture on the trumpet.
Dog House Riley explores the axis where language, movement and sound
meet.
Phillip Greenlief is a veteran improviser who is moving the sound
vocabulary of the saxophone into new directions. Dottie Grossman is a
widely published poet whose works glisten with witty brilliance that are
often found in short, tightly packaged poems. Laurent Tietz is a
seasoned dancer dedicated to contact improvisation - where movement is
shaped in the moment as it connects with surfaces of sound and image.
Cost: $6-10
