Active Music SeriesGlou Glou (Arjun Mendiratta and Gretchen Jude) works within the confines of a consonant, primarily "ambient" aesthetic, focusing on timbre, tonality, and the happy accidents inherent in improvisation. They are guided equally by the works of Eliane Radigue and the Cocteau Twins.
Jordan Glenn's BEAK is a percussion heavy ensemble that blurs the line between dynamic/energetic grooves and chaos. The power of this electric ensemble is wheeled by Glenn's curious baton, moving in and out of composed and spontaneous material. With Will Redmond, guitar & kalimba;
Mark Clifford, vibraphone;
Karl Evangelista, guitar; Bob LaDue, percussion;
Jason Hoopes, bass;
Robert Lopez, drums;
Jordan Glenn, conductor/composer.
SL Morse performs feel-bad modernist literature through Morse Code translations from text to musical notation. They’ll present "The Yellow Wallpaper", based on the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The music is a descent into insanity and explores restraint and confinement, politeness and imagination. With
Sarah Lockhart (drums) and
Aurora Josephson (voice/small percussion)
