Oa (Hugh Behm-Steinberg and
Matt Davignon) uses spoken stories, phrases, words and phonemes as the building blocks for improvised experimental music. Matt has been electronically manipulating sounds for over 20 years, including building an organic voice for drum machine on releases such as "Living Things". Hugh's poetry has been published in the books "The Opposite of Work" and "Shy Green Fields". Oa's debut CD compiles improvisations for samplers and digital turntables, mixing all the voices into a musical soup with ebbing and flowing narratives.
Cosmists (with Guest Poet Collette McCaslin)
will use graphic scores to inspire their music and propel their words. Each of the three of them will read 2 works. They will pull from the great mysterious electric beyond-words and silent prayers-bells and blue sounds-
Cost: $6-15
