“Masked, warrantless, unmarked vans, statelessness as policy. Is that mole new? Can you take a look, I can’t get quite the right angle on it.”
This performance features four improvisers – Caroline Kraabel (sax/voice), Kelsey Mines (double-bass/voice), Gregg Miller (clarinet/sax/voice) and Anjali Grant (live drawing) – using sounds, images, and words to conjure and make present the weird contemporaneity of normality and growing dis-ease under contemporary fascism. What is an anti-fascist aesthetic? Given our complex feelings of rage and paralysis, terror and disbelief, the incongruence of domesticity and resistance, is there hope to be found in improvising together?
Originally from Seattle, inveterate improviser of the London scene Caroline Kraabel is a saxophonist, artist, composer, author, and organizer. She has worked with many excellent improvisers, including Robert Wyatt, Maggie Nicols, John Edwards, Louis Moholo, Cleveland Watkiss, Hyelim Kim, Pat Thomas, Susan Alcorn, Sarah Washington, and Charlotte Hug.
Kelsey Mines is a Seattle-based bassist, composer, and educator. Mines has been a featured artist for the Earshot Jazz Festival, Wayward Music Series, and the Ballard Jazz Festival. In 2019, Mines received the Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Award for Emerging Artist. Mines currently teaches at Cornish College of the Arts at Seattle University.
Gregg Miller is a Seattle-based improviser who started Sonic Action Records to document the vibrant creative/improvisational music scene in Seattle. He has taught political theory at the University of Washington, Western Washington University, Lewis & Clark College, Brooklyn College, and elsewhere. He thinks of improvisational music as political theory.
Anjali Grant is a Seattle-based visual artist and practicing architect. She has exhibited work in New York, Chicago, Portland, Bellingham, Nairobi, and Seattle, and has designed countless record covers for improvising and avant-garde musicians.
