ITHACA, NY — This March 31st the third floor of Ithaca’s Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) will be transformed into Ithaca’s premiere experimental audio-visual event. A selection of Ithaca’s most talented and innovative musicians will encircle the room with percussionists in the center, while a visual installation by Nils Hoover will envelop the space in a transcendental array of light, projection, and reflection.
The ensemble will perform two 45 minute sets of improvised drone and noise. Participants are encouraged to explore the ring around the space for a unique auditory experience with every step. This is an event of epic proportions and is not to be missed!
