Sonic Chambers Quartet

Sunday October 12th at 7:00PM at Rhizome DC. Admission $20-$25.

Byron Asher and Tomas Majcherski (reeds), Matt Booth (bass), and Doug Garrison (drums).

Sonic Chambers Quartet is a new formation co-led by New Orleans-based clarinetist and saxophonist Byron Asher and New York City-based saxophonist and clarinetist Tomas Majcherski and performing original music that sits at the nexus of new composition and free improvisation. The multi-instrumentalists and composers have known each other and performed together for over 10 years, primarily in the New Orleans music scene, though their collaboration on this project began in 2023. In addition to their shared experiences as musicians, their connection is deepened by strikingly similar life paths prior to meeting – including past work in avant garde theater and formal studies in philosophy and religion. Their music is richly informed by these experiences, grounding their collaboration in dialogues around improvisation and composition, performance, art and collectivity. In the group, they are joined by North Carolina-based bassist Matt Booth and veteran New Orleans drummer Doug Garrison. Their debut record Kiss of the Earth was released in April 2025 on 577 Records and hailed by Dave Sumner of Bandcamp Daily as "wonderful, wildly melodic and a rhythmic dynamo."
