Paul Hoskin - bass clarinet
Paul Hoskin and his solo world purposely attempts to alter one's sonic understanding. Dynamics and harmonics are the evident frameworks for Paul's exploration. The less-than-evident aspects involve a concrete devotion to the re/arranging of melodic notions. In other words, one goes home humming something that they have never heard. Paul Hoskin--contrabass clarinet.
9 pm
Bristle
Randy McKean - reeds
Cory Wright - reeds
Murray Campbell - violin
Lisa Mezzacappa - bass
Bristle continues to conduct and refine its experiments of combining whack improvisational ideas with intricate chamber structures. New and evolving pieces for this reeds & strings quartet from composers Wright & McKean explore the world of sounds from 60s freebop and
boogaloo to invasive advertising jingles and the English fox hunt. Come release the hounds with Bristle.
