Jeremy Nelson & Luis Lara Malvacías: Sooner Than You Think
Surrounded by the intriguing installation environment of Luis Lara Malvacías, Sooner Than You Think features solos by Jeremy Nelson and Malvacías. Sometimes occurring separately and sometimes overlapping, Nelson and Malvacías move in and out of lighting and video designs of collaborator David Tirosh, taking their audience through two distinct journeys inspired by images and ideas exchanged over the course of a year’s traveling.

Here is a recent rehearsal video for the show we will see:

Show #1 HANS TAMMEN's THIRD EYE ORCHESTRA

Saturday, March 14
9:00 pm - 11:00 pm

NEUES KABARETT

Hans Tammen's Third Eye Orchestra

Premiere of Tammen's new, open-form composition for the Third Eye Orchestra and live electronics fusing contemporary classical elements with minimal music.

featuring

Jason Hwang, David Soldier - violins

Ned Rothenberg - bassclarinet, altosax, flutes
Detlef Landeck - trombone
Denman Maroney, Ursel Schlicht - piano, keyboards
Jonas Tauber - bass
Satoshi Takeishi - percussion

Made possible with public funds provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Tammen's new piece commissioned by the American Composers Forum/Jerome Foundation.

Hans Tammen is a composer/guitarist whose music has been described as an alien world of bizarre textures and a journey through the land of unending sonic operations. He discovers hidden sound properties through means of his modified endangered guitar, interactive software programming, stereo and multichannel sound systems, and by working with the room itself. Signal To Noise called his works "...a killer tour de force of post-everything guitar damage," and All Music Guide called him "... one of the best experimental guitarists to come forward during the 1990s." His projects include site-specific performances and collaborative efforts with dance, light, video and theatre, utilizing technology from planetarium projectors to guitar robots and disklavier pianos.
