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

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:Annie Chen – Guardians
DESCRIPTION:Annie Chen – voice\, compositions\nAlex LoRe – saxophone\, flute\, bass clarinet\nFung Chern Hwei – violin\, viola\nMarius Duboule – guitar\nJacob Sacks – piano\nJeong Lim Yang – bass\nSatoshi Takeishi – drums\n\n  \n\nAnnie Chen Guardians is a new project born in 2022\, a septet of jazz and improvised music featuring some of New York’s finest musicians. The repertoire is based around a central suite that gives the band its title\, “Guardians\,” a questioning of the destructive behavior humans have on the planet and its impact on animal life. Through this unique set of music\, Annie and her band question the relationship between humans and nature and its consequences: crisis\, loss\, and the possibility of hope.\nThe band is an explosive combination of nationalities and cultural backgrounds (Chinese\, Brazilian\, Japanese\, Korean\, Swiss\, American\, and Malaysian) brought together with a focus on orchestration\, sound texture\, energy and improvisation. With a thematic and sometimes theatrical approach\, the band explores the drama of modern society through a multiethnic lens.\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/anniechenjazz/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/anniechenjazz/\nanniechenjazz.com

SUMMARY:PORTRAITS OF CLIMATE DRAMA
DESCRIPTION:8 PM SCREENING OF AWARD-WINNING FILM ‘INVISIBLE LANDSCAPES\n8:50 PM LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE BAND fyield (CZ/IS)\n9:30 PM DISCUSSION ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE\n\n\nCZECH-ICELANDIC COLLABORATION FYIELD BRING LIVE EXPERIENCE TO NEW YORK FOR THE FIRST TIME\nINCLUDES SCREENING OF AWARD-WINNING FILM ‘INVISIBLE LANDSCAPES’ + LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE BAND fyield (CZ/IS) + DISCUSSION ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE\n\nThis fall\, the Czech-Icelandic collaboration fyield will bring their unique live experience to the US for the very first time. On their debut album\, Future Landscapes\, fyield explores the locations used to satiate the needs of our society in terms of power consumption and nourishment\, or places impacted by the exigencies of industrial society. Altogether\, the artists’ adventurous journey shows us how solutions to existing problems bring new\, often unsuspected and complicated issues. By focusing on the sound that emanates from technological\, power-generating and other entities\, they testify to our existence beyond the visible. Their work portrays unique entities that don’t usually attract our attention – even though our civilization depends on them. They are not people\, mythical figures or animals\, but technological devices and ecosystems that open up questions about our climate future.\n\nThe album was preceded by a sonic expedition. A group of musicians\, accompanied by leading European field recordists\, Sara Pinheiro from Portugal and Magnús Bergsson from Iceland\, visited eight locations in the Czech Republic and Iceland. With the help of special instruments such as hydrophones\, geophones\, ambeo and electromagnetic sensors\, they listened to the manifestations of infrastructures that the human ear alone cannot hear. The compositions bring us close to\, or inside\, the organs of geothermal\, hydroelectric or coal-fired power plants\, a CO2 repository\, an aquaponic farm\, a lagoon created by melting glaciers\, and an oil well. The Czech Republic and Iceland represent countries with contrasting approaches to CO2 production. The Czech fossil-fuel-impacted landscape is juxtaposed with the seemingly environmentally sensitive Iceland\, where the technology it employs poses a number of problems of a completely different type.\n\nfyield warns us that it is futile to hope for a single save-all solution to the climate crisis.\n\nThis unique live experience will also include a screening of Invisible Landscapes\, a film by Ivo Bystřičan (awarded as the best film documentary at the AFO: The 58th International Festival of Science Documentary Films\, Academia Film Olomouc of Palacký University 2023). It sounds like a bird’s song\, and you can’t take your ears off it. But it’s not – it’s just the popping bubbles of a melting glacier. A group of musicians equipped with sensitive microphones and headphones set out on an exploration. They head to places in the Czech and Icelandic countryside both marred by industry and untouched by man to discover and understand the sound of catastrophe – the sound of ongoing climate change\, which in itself can be far more beautiful\, and more imaginative\, than what it heralds. While sight allows phenomena and things to be encompassed in a static state and in a certain entirety\, hearing allows us to understand how they affect and clash with their surroundings. Sound is the consequence of an event that happened in the past and points towards a future now being decided\, one that may potentially be inevitable and destructive for us. It cannot yet be seen in the invisible landscapes\, but – if we listen carefully – it is already there. The film will be presented by Ivo Bystřičan and producer Tereza Swadoschová\, who will lead the discussion after the screening.\n\n  \nfyield brings together leading figures of the Czech and Icelandic independent music scene. Czech musicians Václav Havelka and Kryštof Kříček from the band Please The Trees are joined by Iceland’s Pan Thorarensen\, a member of the ambient trio Stereo Hypnosis and founder of the international experimental music festival Extreme Chill\, which has been held in Reykjavik since 2010.
