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.

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.

Popebama will be present a series of quiet but energetic pieces amplifying small sounds in a small apartment. Composed in -the-moment, by Erin Rogers (saxophone) + Dennis Sullivan (percussion).
Popebama is a New York-based experimental duo that focuses on exciting performances of unconventional works. Described as “Noisily Virtuosic” (clevelandclassical.com), Erin Rogers (saxophone) and Dennis Sullivan (percussion) are composer-performers who apply text, electronics, and high-energy instrumental writing to freshly-squeezed sounds.

The Byrne:Kozar:Duo will be presenting music by Icelandic composer Finnur Karlsson, NYC based vocalist and composer Jeffrey Gavett, and a sneak preview of a new work by Beth Wiemann!
Byrne:Kozar:Duo – Created by New York City and Boston based soprano Corrine Byrne and trumpeter Andy Kozar, the Byrne:Kozar:Duo presents historically informed performances of Baroque music for natural trumpet and soprano in addition to commissioning new works for modern trumpet and soprano. They have been said to create ‘an arresting symbiosis in their melding of voice and trumpet timbres’ (Textura) and that the ‘trumpet and voice seem to take on one another’s qualities’ (Bandcamp Daily).

I am honored to have created a new work for Erin Lesser of Wet Ink as part of the Library of Congress’ Boccaccio Project. In the mid-14th century Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) wrote the Decameron, a collection of 100 stories shared between a group of 10 acquaintances who had removed themselves from society during the darkest period of a plague.
