Marshall R. Trammell (percussion) w/ Jason M. McGill (alto saxophone). Trammell, the veteran music-research activist/archivist perhaps best know within Seattle for his group Black Spirituals (Sige Records), is currently on tour with his current project, Status Quo Is My Enemy. He will be joined by McGill to continue a natural dialog that began between the two musicians 25 years ago in San Francisco, performing Trammell’s improvisational form “Simultaneous Multi-Dimensionality — Duo Vernacular.”  https://www.musicresearchstrategies.info

Sheridan Riley is based in Seattle, but is most often found touring the world far and wide behind a variety of drum kits, perpetually in demand by a number of bands like Canada’s Alvvays. She’ll stay in town just long enough to share this solo work she’s been developing and deepening as of late, most recently at the Ballard Jazz Festival. http://www.sheridanriley.com

CSTMR is otherwise known as Casey Adams (drums) and Tom Scully (guitar), two of Seattle’s most enthusiastic improvised thrash providers. Check out their blistering recently released Live at Susquatch 4 at https://cstmr.bandcamp.com

$5-15 sliding scale
All ages

Join us at Gallery 1412 for an eclectic bill of solo electronic sound performances, featuring visiting artist J Hamilton Isaacs (Denver), who produces meticulously detailed modular compositions that traverse the gap between neo-kosmische and truly zonked wiggery. Norm Chambers is a stalwart veteran of Seattle’s electronic music scene whose many projects and aliases (Panabrite, Jürgen Müller) serve as both a primer in the history of sound synthesis and a herald of movements to come. Jamondria Harris’ (Portland) work ranges from throbbing dark ambient constellations to buzzing organic polyrhythms. Sebastian Camens’ para-sentient algorithmic constructions render audible the synthetic logic of their unfolding.

J Hamilton Isaacs (formerly dugoutcanoe) has been active in the American experimental underground since 2005. Using a modular synthesizer to etch out cacophonic meta-musical collage, meditative drones, and phase music, his work focuses on the relationship between the instinctual pretense in listening and transcendental experience.

Emerging from a love of early electronics, concrete/tape music, soundtracks, and early new age, Norm Chambers creates worlds of sound that touch on many elements and moods, from spatially motivated ambient to aspects of minimalist composition and improvisation. Chambers utilizes an array of synthesizer equipment to achieve his sounds, in addition to field sounds and occasional acoustic elements.

Jamondria Harris is an interdisciplinary artist living in Portland, OR. They use words, sounds, wires, instruments, textiles, & what falls into their hands to engage with blackness, desire, spirit/source, decolonization, fairy tales, & body horror. They are a VONA Workshop Fellow and an artist-in-residence at S1, among other things. Their book of poetry and art, quaerere, is available from Magic Helicopter Press and their music can be found at https://meroitic.bandcamp.com/ and https://soundcloud.com/meroitic.

Sebastian Camens is a Dutch/Australian artist and designer based in Seattle. His sound leans into an oxymoronic minimal maximalism, utilizing stochastic processes to construct brutal patterns of sound, inflating into the entire frequency range. Camens’ work often transforms sound into near-tangible objects, with implied physical properties of weight and texture.

3×1·1×3: Sean Hamilton / James Falzone / Neil Welch

Saxophonist and composer Neil Welch is recognized as a major voice of the Seattle jazz and experimental music fields. His work is derived from improvisation, using largely non-traditional techniques that explore sonic resonance. With a strong connection to place, he performs and documents audio recordings prolifically within the urban and rural landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Neil embraces a variety of resonant musical styles, with work spanning avant-garde jazz, modern composition, solo saxophone, North Indian classical music, and electronic sound processing. His playing unabashedly confronts the acoustical limits of the instrument. Downbeat Magazine called Neil “an impassioned tenor player” and All About Jazz calls his work “stunning and extraordinary.” Neil is dedicated to expanding the saxophone’s role in modern improvisation and composition.
