8 pm paul hoskin - solo contrabass clarinet

Paul Hoskin and his solo world purposely attempts to alter one's sonic understanding. Dynamics and harmonics are the evident frameworks for Paul's exploration. The less-than-evident aspects involve a concrete devotion to the re/arranging of melodic notions. In other words, one goes home humming something that they have never heard. Paul Hoskin--contrabass clarinet.

9 pm bristle
randy mc kean - reeds
Cory Wright - reeds

Bristle continues to conduct and refine its experiments of combining

and evolving pieces for this reeds & strings quartet from composers
Wright & McKean explore the world of sounds from 60s freebop and
boogaloo to invasive advertising jingles and the English fox hunt.
