JON ARKIN + BEN GOLDBERG
KYLE BRUCKMANN + JORDAN GLENN + DANA JESSEN + LISA MEZZACAPPA + DANISHTA RIVERO

As a duo, JON ARKIN (drums, live processing) and BEN GOLDBERG (clarinet) bring together an unprecedented diversity of organic and synthetic elements, forming a truly unique musical amalgam. Arkin’s self-designed hybrid electro-acoustic setup acts as both a support and foil to Goldberg’s singular improvisational voice, within the contexts of traditional composition, spontaneous composition, and algorithmic indeterminacy.

The evening also includes an improvisaiton by the super-group KYLE BRUCKMANN (oboe/electronics) + JORDAN GLENN (percussion) + DANA JESSEN (bassoon) + LISA MEZZACAPPA (bass) + DANISHTA RIVERO (voice/electronics). In this yet-to-be-cleverly-named electroacoustic quintet, the double reed faction of Splinter Reeds fills in a juicy slice of their Venn diagram overlap with Oakland's tireless Creative Music scene. Thorny compositions by Jessen and Bruckmann frame and catalyze jittery collective improvisations. Mazes will be precariously navigated and harmonic partials will be shamelessly excited.
