The Kitchen with Tristan Perich

March 18, 20178:00pm

The Kitchen presents two evenings of compositions by Tristan Perich, including a number of premieres. Inspired by the aesthetic simplicity of math, physics and code, Perich’s compositions have been described by The Wire magazine as “an austere meeting of electronic and organic.” 1-Bit Music, his 2004 release, was the first album ever released as a microchip, programmed to synthesize his electronic composition live.

So Percussion and JACK Quartet premiere a major revision of Perich’s Sequential, for string quartet and percussion quartet. The work employs his 1-bit electronics to superimpose a rhythmic gating system on eight players, transforming their bowed instruments into a precise, angular tapestry of timbre. Mariel Roberts opens the concert with Perich’s Formations for solo cello and 1-bit electronics, which New Sounds called “driving, hypnotic, and exhilarating.”

Sō Laboratories (Our Home In Brooklyn!)
20 Grand Avenue, #205, Brooklyn, New York 11205

Apparently this band has been making new music for 35 years and didn’t bother to tell many people. Why ruin it? Rose, Eddie, Hanna, Tim, Squiggy, Lemmy, Alfalfa they’ll all be there, with brand new ways to cut in song in pieces. Tell Everyone! Cuz it’s free (donation suggested) and there’s a fridge of beer and seltzer!
