Electric Possible 4/6
I'm quite pleased to be included in this-- Buck did it a few years ago & wow it was good. Come on out!
El Possible Fifth Anniversary Show
Sunday, April 6
Experimental Voiceworks with Jenny Graf, BLK w/BEAR & Croniamantal
Croniamantal--The resurrection of El Possible's first lab project:: electro-acoustic free improvisors joined with one avant-garde poet. For this incarnation: Jeff Bagato--cheesy keyboard; Amber Dunleavy--theremin; Layne Garrett--guitar, found stuff; Pat Gillis--modular synth; Paolo Vallodolid--cello; Rod Smith--bard.
Jenny Graf--Baltimore based musician (and art professor!) Jenny Graf Sheppard creates vivid, compelling soundworlds using intuitive/primitive homebrewed electronic (including stuff made by Pete Blasser), guitar, and voice. Jenny is one-half the famed noise duos Harrius (with Chiara Giovando, LP on Ehse records) and Metallux (with MV Carbon, recordings on Hanson, Load, and 5RC/Kill Rock Stars). This is a rare solo set, not to be missed!
BLK w/BEAR--Towering drone science from DC's Jim Adams, formed from Voice-o-Graph records and other sound sources. Voice-O-Graph was a "photo booth" type recording station where people could record anything they wanted and get a record out of the machine. Jim will be joined by a cellist and bassist.
$5--all money goes to the artists!
