Visiting us from New York, Sam Newsome experiments to acclaim with the prepared soprano saxophone, wedding it with an already-prodigious knowledge of the instrument’s sonic anatomy. Newsome’s dazzling deployment of multiphonics, slap tonguing, circular breathing and other alternative means of activating the instrument, displays an urgency, insight and dexterity that’s both peerless and wholly personal.
K2 is an improvising duo spearheaded by Kayla Milmine (soprano saxophone and a varied trove of sound-making curiosities) and Jonathan Kay (soprano & tenor saxophone, esraj, shakuhachi, Tibetan horn, and an arsenal of sonic artifacts). Their union delves into the raw, transformative powers of music, conjuring sound-rituals as sites fueled by indeterminacy, where boundaries are not just crossed but obliterated through transcultural improvisation and an unapologetically nomadic approach to sound.
$17 advance tickets via Eventbrite or by e-transfer to tix [at] zulapresents [dot] org or $20 at the door [No one will be refused admission for lack of funds]
