SUMMARY:Technology And Bones Presents: Music On Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Technology And Bones is the solo project of bass trombone player Alix Tucou. \n“Technology And Bones is a music project that mixes sounds from everyday life\, music production and improvisation with my main instrument\, the bass trombone…a kind of crossroad between pure Music composition and sound design with the will to make any listener dive deeply  into this universe of sounds” \nYRB Magazine Itw 2021 https://yrbmag.com/feature-technology-and-bones-portraits-interview/ \nWith his second albums “Portraits” He initiated research about the links between  Visual Arts and Music through Bass Trombone improvisation and sound design. \nThe perspective of finding an idiomatic link between both appeared when he started composing “Portraits” and he found an endless source of musical inspiration through the spectrum of visual artists and Contemporary Art. \nIt appeared to him very interesting to try to create a musical imaginative painting representing the work of a visual artist or the visual artist itself. \n\n\n\nHe will be premiering in exclusivity at ShapeShifter Lab his new compositions from his upcoming album “Music On Canvas” that portrays great Masters of Visual Arts such as Paul Cézanne\, René Magritte\, Cy Twombly\, Janis Kounellis\, Hilma af Klint\, Niki de Saint Phalle\, Alberto Burri\, Yves Klein.

SUMMARY:Afro-Cuban Percussion Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Pellito El Afrokan\, congas percussion \nCuban percussionist Pellito el Afrokan\, the grandson of the late great Cuban musician Pello El Afrokan\, the originator of the Cuban Mozambique rhythm/dance\, will conduct a percussion workshop where he will teach  Cuban rhythms on conga drums and other percussion instruments.  Conga drums will be provided\, though you are welcome to bring your own conga drum.  The workshop will start at 5:30 p.m. with an introduction to Pellito and the history of the original Mozambique rhythm from Cuba.  The Mozambique rhythm and the dance will be taught to workshop attendees\, followed by instruction in other Afro-Cuban rhythms such as  Rumba\, Conga de Comparsa\, Yuka\, and Makuta. \n \n  \nThis program is ideal for intermediate to advanced percussionists or other musicians interested in learning more about Cuban percussion.\nOmar Merencio Izquierdo was born in Havana\, Cuba\, on January 7\, 1980. From a very young age\, his inclination for music began due to the musical influence and artistic environment that he breathed in his family. His grandfather was Maestro Pello el Afrokan\, and his great-uncles were also excellent Congueros Roberto Izquierdo and Gilberto Izquierdo. This musical and percussion heritage goes back a long way because Pellito’s great-grandfather was the first conga player to have a Typical Orchestra in Cuba\, and his name was Roberto Izquierdo Morales\, who played with the Belisario López Orchestra in the ‘30s\, ‘40s and ‘50s.\n
