Elastro: Sontag Shogun, Heavy Tiny, Maya Nguyen
Advertisement
Elastro hosts a wonderful lineup for their July edition. We’ll have visiting duo Sontag Shogun, local duo Heavy Tiny, and a solo performance from Maya Nguyen.
Sontag Shogun is the collaboration between Jesse Perlstein and Jeremy Young. It is the piano-less form of their acclaimed trio, allowing them to break from song-form and recontextualize the space taken up by voice, field recordings, tape loops and tones and how those elements can move from soundscape to melody to noise and back again. They pull from the practices of music concrete, improvisation, experimentation and foremost, a fluid conversation in their collaboration. Sontag Shogun [duo] performances are always unique in their make-up and their product...never sounding quite the same way twice.
Heavy Tiny is a small dense thing, bigger inside than out. It is a diorama of the outside of the room that we’re in. Heavy Tiny is field recordings, synths, walkie talkies, found objects, Nick Meryhew and Lia Kohl.
Multidisciplinary artist Maya Nguyen will be presenting How many rocks can you eat before you turn to stone? This is a performative sound essay for pop rocks, rocks, stones, stone statues, petrification, rigidity, and frigidity.
$15 / $10 w/ Student ID - Tickets Available at the Door
