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.
