SF]Set 1, 8pm: Lucian Ban & Mat Maneri perform works from their hit ECM album Transylvanian Concert • Set 2, 9pm: Headboggle & Joe Lasqo: Space Ghost Études — 2 pianos, 2 electronics tables, 2 sets of objects & toys, & 2 very odd musicians. Thu 27 Oct @ Center for New Music
◉ Set 1, 8pm: Lucian Ban & Mat Maneri: Transylvanian Concert
When NYC-based Romanian piano master Lucian Ban and virtuoso violist Mat Maneri joined up for a concert in an opera house in Târgu Mureș in the middle of Romania’s Transylvania region, the music was, as JazzTimes puts it, "as close as it gets to Goth jazz". The hit album, informed by the twin traditions of jazz and brooding European chamber music, has won critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, including several Best Album of 2013 awards, and has spawned continuous touring.
◉ Set 2, 9pm: Headboggle & Joe Lasqo: Space Ghost Études — 2 pianos, 2 electronics tables, 2 sets of objects & toys, & 2 very odd musicians
Enigmatic, ectoplasmic, culturally recycled into an ironic Cartoon Network drift-meme, and, by definition, beyond-stratospherically high, Space Ghost serves as an apt metaphor for the series of studies in synchronous | asynchronous de-coherent interstellar entanglement which Headboggle (Derek Gedalecia) & Joe Lasqo will present. In honor of Space Ghost, a wide variety of interplanetary and deep space sound samples, up to and including the sound of the Big Bang, will be used.
