Nation Building is a guide to forging a new sound world in four distinct tracks. Seasoned composer-performer- improvisers, Rogers and Sullivan launched Popebama in 2016, pooling their collective everythings to uncover new ground. Through concept, play, notation, performance, and extensive touring, these four works, two by Rogers, two by Sullivan, are now available as studio versions, capturing the high-energy, virtuosic performances of Popebama’s noisy, experimental sound, that includes multi-instrument setups, text settings, and custom electronics.

NYC-based duo Popebama (Erin Rogers, saxophone + Dennis Sullivan, percussion) and Columbus-based Tower Duo (Erin Helgeson Torres, flute + Michael Rene Torres, saxophone) team up for an afternoon of video premieres presented by the Johnstone Fund for New Music. Tower Duo leads the show with the premiere of “Deceptive Stillness: Isolation Vignettes” by Michael Rene Torres, a new work of 8 miniatures for flute and saxophone and video that explores eclectic scenes and sounds. Popebama takes the stage with the premiere of Wing, a story told through small sounds and sentence fragments by Obie award winning composer/playwright, Rick Burkhardt followed by the premiere of edgewise, a masked excursion into the world of electronic voice phenomena for two performers + electronics, by Kittie Cooper. The program will conclude with Rogers’ Light-On-Light – a fiery adventure in time and transit.

Thrilled that Aperture Duo will perform  “Lemons, Lemons” – a work that doesn’t involve actual lemons but is dedicated to the year 2020 nonetheless. This fierce musical duo can do almost anything, so take in their entire concert hosted by Craft in America.

To continue an 8-year tradition of presenting live music, Craft in America will stream a series of virtual mini-concerts, Sundays at 2 p.m. this summer.

Aperture Duo brings us a video compilation from Snapshot, a multidisciplinary performance project for this socially distant time. Performed and recorded “live” over Zoom, Snapshot is a series of short instruction pieces written for Aperture Duo to explore chamber music in the time of quarantine. Join us for microtonal drones, conversations, coffee, lemonade, dogs, violin, and viola!

A SERIES OF LANDSCAPES
A NEW WORK BY THINGNY
LIVE JULY 10-11, 2020: 1PM AND 6PM

Presented as part of HERE Arts Center’s #StillHERE
A new opera-theatre, situated in a Zoom call, diving into the anxiety and serenity of this paradoxical moment. Yesterday’s action in the street, today’s paralyzing personal stasis, tomorrow’s urgent assemblage, viewed through the bizarre filter of social and emotional distance.
Do you dream of screens?
What year is it?
We’re together with everyone we’ve ever known.
Jeff’s dad shows up to get us out of there.
We might be in Texas.
There will be absurdity, serenity, severity, and uncanniness.
Save the date.
