About this Event

FLYDLPHN is a mixed chamber ensemble that advocates for collaborative, unrestrictive play, making extensive use of electro-acoustic, multimedia, and improvised performance. Chicago-based composer and sound designer Austin Gray Williams uses both traditional and exploratory compositional techniques with a generally maximal approach. Keefe Jackson / Molly Jones / Mai Sugimoto: Three woodwind artists, three Chicago stalwarts, three vocal approaches. Structural situations by Keefe Jackson and songs by all three. Repetition, romanticism, and longueur are among the touchstones. Poised expressions and vibrating incantations, living on the edge.
