Reg Bloor (NYC) - at Zürcher Gallery

Wednesday 11
Frantic solo guitar mix of dissonant No Wave, Out Jazz, and screechy Metal delivered with high energy, inventive chords, and angular atonality, not to mention an impish sense of humor - regbloor.com 
C. Spencer Yeh (NYC) - at Zürcher Gallery Wednesday 11
Solo improvisations with violin, electronics, voice; Over the years I'd find myself constricting the moves I'd employ and deploy, in the pursuit of some kind of advanced strategy in lieu of conventional music know-how; You know, the whole "I'm going to stop doing that thing I always do" -- pushing against innate manic cadences and nervous tendencies while abandoning genuine headway; While I would find myself eventually painted into a corner again (and still feeling dissatisfied), in time I'd drawn up a nice big map of many trails to many corners; So now I just take that map and fold it over itself, see where to go - linktr.ee/dronedisco

A night of (im)material resonance -- First, a live performance rendition of her multichannel sound object installation: Fenestra (Transparencies), made of acrylic panels and surface transducers; We listen through physical surfaces, like a sonic skin, a connective membrane; Followed by a screening of recent audiovisual collage work; ephemeral, transportive - jenngrossman.net - jenngrossman.bandcamp.com

Ian Douglas-Moore + Dominic Coles (NYC) - at WhiteBox

Tuesday 17

Ian Douglas-Moore (guitar/electronics) and Dominic Coles (electronics) will present music in solo and duo configurations; These new works operate at the margins of perception, touching our auditory capacities at their various thresholds for sensing; Or, put another way: an evening of music that is sparse, quiet, loud, and dense - dotdotdotdotdotdot.com - dominiccolesmusic.com - dominiccolesmusic.bandcamp.com

Hans Tammen + Marcus Cummins + Shelley Hirsch (NYC) - at WhiteBox Wednesday 18
In his Eigengrau series Hans Tammen explores overtones and noises that are emerging from pianos, guitars and other stringed instruments affected by vibrations from transducers; At EI he is joined by Marcus Cummins on soprano saxophone, and Shelley Hirsch on voice - tammen.org/Eigengrau
