Broken Whole w/guest
Thomas Dimuzio -
Broken Whole is 2 drummers (Mark Pino, Tim Orr) and one electronicist (
Mika Pontecorvo) -- our practice is to have a guest artist perform with us, And this evening we have a fine artist and good friend,
Thomas Dimuzio, drawing on his electronic work. Our work tends toward the angular abtract expressionist ethos, but with a primal rhythmic aspect settings of subtle textural contrasts..
