THE ANCIENT GEEKS (Jim Ryan and Ann O’Rourke) combine acoustic, analog and digital sounds to create weird music.
Ann O’Rourke plays drumset, found objects, iPhone, contact mics, and effects. She also provides strange vocals and fractured nursery rhymes. Her favorite instrument is a metal CD holder tower with a cross eyed cat on the top. Her favorite drum stick is a toilet bowl brush. She recently discovered improv music and gave up jazz drumming to pursue this path. She is a member of the Cornelius Cardew Choir, an avant garde vocal group.
Jim Ryan plays flute, kalimba, sax, and electronic devices. He has been on the scene since the 20th Century and is very ancient.

Free Sax is a unique sound of improvisations and liquid conversations. Completely spontaneous and unrehearsed, from the sweetest and softest, to the explosive and furious. Routed strongly in Jazz, the influences of Ornette Coleman and Coltrane seemlessly mixed with free improvisation.

Cost: $6-10
