SUMMARY:Shane Allessio Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Boyce Griffith – tenor sax \nJohn Kirschner – guitar \nSharif Zaban – drums \nShane Allessio – double bass \n  \nAbout Shane Allessio \n\nShane Allessio plays hard hitting\, heavy swinging\, modern original jazz. Drawing from Mingus\, George Russell\, Stan Kenton\, etc\, boundaries are pushed while a respect for swing and the jazz tradition is upheld. Screaming crashing dissonances\, virtuosic bowed bass solos and foot stomping grooves are to be expected at every show. \nComing off of a bold and unique new quartet album release\, Everything and Nothing\, Shane seeks to challenge the listener to explore a wide range of emotions\, characters and personal stories. It’s a journey of highs\, lows and even the psychedelic. Mixing through-composed forms with giving his band the freedom to improvise\, Shane himself “plays strong backing to the horns\, but is also a highly gifted soloist himself\, playing like a saxophonist in terms of invention” (Jazz Journal International). “It’s a CD that belongs in every jazz lover’s collection” (Gary Karr). \nShane is a disciple of renowned educator Jim Stinnett. He traveled the country helping to present Mr. Stinnett’s Secret Chambers project\, a book and presentation featuring and analyzing the walking and solo lines of the great Paul Chambers. Shane was also a faculty member of Mr. Stinnett’s long running New Hampshire Bass Fest\, featuring artists such as Eddie Gomez\, Rufus Reid\, Gary Karr and more of the best bassists around the world. After Berklee Shane moved to London for six years\, working the scene there and touring Europe with his and others’ projects. He now resides in New York City.

SUMMARY:Future Instruments Festival
DESCRIPTION:6:15pm Doors Open\n6:45 – 7:45pm Workshop On Electronic Music Live Performance\n8:30 – 9:30pm Dan FreeMan\n9:30 – 10:30pm Daedalus \n\n\nThe Future Instruments Festival is an immersive concert series and workshop showcasing future instruments\, digital music\, performance and art. We feature artists who are pushing the limits of technology and the use of these new tools in live music making. \nThe Future Instruments Festival will also include a live workshop with the artists who will discuss the technologies that they use and their process of creating a live electronic music performance. \nVisuals by 0h10M1ke and Jackson Lin. \n— \nDaedelus has been an instigator of electronic music culture for the past 20-plus years. A fore-figure of Los Angeles’ beat scene\, they have released more than 20 LPs\, countless EPs\, remixes\, and additional productions on labels such as Ninja Tune\, Brainfeeder\, Dome of Doom\, and more. As a performer they’re synonymous with performative controllers\, from the Monome to computer-free modular\, and have played 1\,000-plus shows across six continents at venues ranging from the underground Low End Theory to festival main stages such as Coachella. \nThey were the founding faculty member for the Berklee College of Music’s new EDI (electronic digital instrument) program where they continue to teach. \nDan FreeMan is a producer/bassist and music technologist based in Brooklyn\, New York and an expert on the integration of live instruments with laptops using Ableton Live and future instrument technology. Originally from Boston\, he came to New York at age 23 and worked for years as a session bassist\, playing and touring throughout NYC\, Europe\, and Latin America at venues from many underground Brooklyn parties to Carnegie Hall. He has performed and given workshops on electronic music production and performance at festivals\, universities\, and schools worldwide including at: SXSW\, Berghain (Berlin)\, DNA Music (Bogota)\, Argenlive (Buenos Aires)\, Universidad de Santiago (Chile)\, Teatro Rubén Dario (Nicaragua)\, and Sonar (Barcelona\, Spain). \nCurrently\, FreeMan teaches at Berklee College of Music in the EDI (electronic digital instrument) program while also serving on the faculty of New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music and the Juilliard School. He also has a production space in Brooklyn where he produces and sound designs records and live shows. \n0H10M1ke is a Brooklyn-based graffiti artist and performer known for his one-line street portraits and his contemporary art paintings in galleries and art fairs at Miami Art Basel and Art Expo New York. He served as official portrait artist for the Museum of Graffiti in December 2023 and has upcoming shows in Tokyo\, Japan and Cologne\, Germany. \n0H10M1ke brings an entirely live and highly analog approach to VJing. Focused on the line and using the simplest of design tools\, he digitally graffitis the stage and set. The frenetic energy of “drawing to music” directly on performers lights the space\, creating a digitally drawn live visual score as the backdrop to the show. \nAs resident visual artist for Comandante Zero\, 0H10M1ke has played extensively and toured with Dan Freeman\, adding live visuals to their multimedia spectacular for many years. \nJackson Lin is a New York-based artist who seamlessly combines art and technology to create immersive experiences. With a deep-rooted passion for pushing the boundaries of artistic expression\, he merges traditional techniques with innovative digital tools. Through interactive installations and mind-bending projection mapping displays\, he pushes the envelope of what is possible in the realm of art and technology. Jackson Lin’s work embodies the powerful union of creativity and innovation in today’s digital age.
