Doors That Only Open in Silence #9 (open participation improv workshop) featuring Matt Ingalls /// Sunday @ TAC

The monthly series of improvisation research at Temescal Arts Center continues. Bring your instrument or just come to listen. Small groups will be randomly assembled from submitted names, and there will be a full set by Matt Ingalls.

Oakland composer/improviser/programmer Matt Ingalls performs his decades-in-the-making, 30-minute-continuous-micro-timbre-circular-breath-tour-de-force clarinet solo that explores extended techniques that interact with the acoustic space. https://youtu.be/wOo9uLfpSFo
