Helado Negro, the one-person band masterminded by Roberto Carlos Lange, creates a perfect equilibrium of intricate electronic music with shades of kraut rock bathed in mesmerizing rhythms. Together with the theatrically-charged, experimental collective thingNY, he will re-develop his 2013 piece “Brain Finger Composition,” a performance of his songs built on spontaneous direction and interaction between thingNY and Roberto as he controls the players via yarn tethering them to his fingers. thingNY will also perform a set of text-pieces, including a preview of their upcoming opera “This takes place close by.”

The saxophones of New Thread Quartet perform music by the composers of Music for Contemplation (MuFoCo).
Location:
Church of the Annunciation
255 North 5th St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Music for Contemplation aims to engage a completely new audience for radical contemporary music in a historic church through a series of six concerts dedicated to presenting compositions with open structures, quiet dynamics and use of silence. Taking place at the Church of the Annunciation in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the series offers new music with a special focus on the contemplative nature of listening. The series includes premieres of works by five New York composers.
Music for Contemplation is supported by New Music USA. To learn more about this project, visit:
