ABOUT Chris Brown

Chris Brown, composer/pianist/improvisor, is also a professor of music at Mills. His music most often includes the close interaction of acoustic and electronic instruments. Gangsa (2010) is one such piece that features four Philippine flat-gongs playing rhythmic patterns that phase while a computer creates interlocking transformations of their sounds in real time. The program will also include a short set of improvisations for live computer and percussion.

*Since this show was picked up by a online corporate promoter and advertised as a show with R&B star Chris Brown, it's created much confusion with audiences. THIS IS NOT THE R&B STAR (SEE BIO ABOVE). For this reason, will not be selling pre-sale tickets.
