◉ Set 1, 9:30pm: DunkelpeK (Nava Dunkelman: percussion + Jakob Pek: prepared guitar/objects) with guest Joshua Marshall (saxophones)

Both Nava Dunkelman and Jakob Pek continuously extend and break the boundaries of their instruments. Their telepathic flow and ultra-wide sound palette as Dunkelpek energizes some of the most unique sonic trajectories in todays Bay Area new music scene.

Tonight they will be joined by frequent collaborator Joshua Marshall, whose amazing technique shatters the mirror of reality into a geometry of cracked multi-phonics, exotic trills, and unique timbre tremolos.

Aaron Bennett's E.M.T.P.O. ensemble use the electro-magnetic field of their collective mind, tuned and amplified by means of unique "breathing chart" compositions in a special graphic notation which Aaron has designed for large improvising ensembles to focus and unleash aural energies. The resulting sound is like nothing else and has amazed audiences in a string of orgone-accelerating Bay Area performances over the last two years.
