| PRNCX |
|
|
PRNCX is an ever-changing cast of players, whose members stem from musically diverse spheres of jazz, free improvisation, contemporary classical, son jarocho, and indie-rock. Each performance condenses and stretches compositions to fit the given iteration, constantly unearthing novel aspect of a set repertoire, via compositions which place choice and freedom at the fore. In this way, the music is truly reflective of the distinct identities of the musicians on any given performance, while also clearly placing delimiting and structural elements throughout a piece. The upcoming performance for septet aims to highlight the unique discrepancies uncovered by this process and to ask the question: how are the power structures in a piece of music a reflection or refutation of our world at large?
Steven Long - piano/composition
Joanna Mattrey - viola
Amanda Ekery - voice
Gabe Garcia - alto sax
Travis Bliss - tenor sax
Nick Neuburg - drums
Ross Wightman - bass |

| Saman Samadi Quintet at Arete? |
|
|
Founded by composer Saman Samadi, an Iranian national with extensive training in both Persian and Western musical traditions, the quintet is comprised entirely of New York City musicians, alumni from the Manhattan School of Music. Their sound is unique, paving new ground between modern jazz and contemporary classical styles. Their signature sounds can evoke the newest avant-garde outliers of advanced 21st century compositional work, or embody an early 20th century songspiel-like lyricism, channelling the rational integrity of Stockhausen, the polyrhythmic world of Reich, the aberrant sounds of Sciarrino, coupled with the expressive freedom of Don Cherry, all the while making a fait accompli of intricate poeticisms a la Rumi or Hafez. The Quintet defies easy categorization and prefers to not get caught up in genre signaling. Improvisational acumen is both the achievement and goal of this group.
Amber Evans, soprano; Caitlin Cawley, percussion; Martin Movagh, trumpet; Sam Zagnit, double bass, and Saman Samad |

“Because, indeed, isn’t ‘blurred’ just another word for ‘connection’?”—Tracy McMullen
Dominic Coles's 'two places at the level of the voltage' emphasizes connections between recordings made in Kolkata and New York City through their participation in a shared electrical field. Heard as containers for discrete conceptions of place and home these recordings are reduced to their most foundational logic: disruptions in air which are converted into electrical impulses through the mechanics of the microphone. These electrical impulses become the primary material of the piece: once reduced to their electrical forms, these recordings of disparate places become indistinguishable from one another, participating in a shared and fluid field of electricity.
Marina Kifferstein & Weston Olencki make chaotic, nonlinear structures from amplified violin & modular synthesizer.
Jenn Grossman is a sound an experiential media artist and composer based in brooklyn. with a focus towards perceptual affect, she |

With Aparna and Ranee Ramaswamy – a mother-daughter team of first-generation Indian-American artists – at its helm, Ragamala marks its 25th season with an original work that draws from traditional South Indian dance, 12th-century Sufi texts, Hindu mythology, and a musical ensemble led by composer Amir ElSaffar. The result is an exploration of the tension between good and evil and mankind’s struggle to navigate earthly obstacles, told through Ragamala’s “soulful, imaginative, and rhythmically contagious” (New York Times) artistry. |
