8:00 pm Eurostache
The Eurostache group is a project centering around electro-acoustic real-time collaborative experiments in sound. We explore sound-space through the lens and energy of child-like wonderment. Listeners often comment on being drawn into a dreamy escape. Our key experimental technique is using novel instruments, found objects, meta-processing and sound recordings in unusual combinations with traditional instruments. Vocalists employ extended techniques to humanize the highly transient and diverse cacophony. Musical constructs such as composition and melody are set aside as we travel toward the fringes of sound. Instruments: modular synth, circuit bent devices, bass, guitar, kangling, fujara, misc acoustic instruments.
