A night of acoustic and electro improv music with Apt. D, joined by Kaori Suzuki, Nava Dunkelman, Adam Hirsch, Bergrun Snaebjornsdottir and Yang Yang. Apt. D is an electro-improv duo that explores sound and space by combining live electronic processing and experimental performance of voice and pipa during improvisation. Ingibjorg Fridriksdottir brings a background of both experimental electronic music and vocal training from Iceland. Sophia Shen combines her traditional Chinese pipa playing techniques with her new approaches to the instrument. The unique soundscape and the emotional depth that the duo creates are a result of an exchange and convergence from two very contrasting musical backgrounds and cultures.
8pm to 9pm, 2133 University Ave
