thingNY returns to Boston, this time with Helado Negro, for The Advent Library Concert Series – a monthly program that presents jazz, modern, folk, ethnic, and improvised music. The Library space is intimate and enchanting, and has a great sound for small acoustic groups, especially. The series is curated by Matt Samolis.

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.”
