Jacob Felix Heule, Danishta Rivero, Kanoko Nishi-Smith, and Chris Cooper perform as a quartet in 4-channel surround sound. Freely improvised music for spatially-miked 32-inch bass drum, koto, voice, guitar, and most folks doubling on electronics in interaction with their instruments. Raw, brutal, textural, and often very quiet, they obsessively explore the secret sounds of their instruments. They embrace noise, with the lines blurred between electronic processing and extended techniques. This will be the first performance by this quartet, though these four musicians have played in just about every other permutation of this personnel going back to 2007.
