Mid-Atlantic Wilderness Presents: Two Duos

Join us for a special Mid-Atlantic Wilderness presenting two duos of music + movement!

2640 Space
Sunday, October 27
Doors at 8, Music at 8:30 sharp
$5-10 at the door

David Dove's (Houston, TX) Subwoofer Trombone uses pitched-down trombone and subwoofers site-specifically, filling spaces with slow-moving sub-bass frequencies and doom-blues. Nicole Bindler (Philly, PA) makes improvised dances underpinned by her 25 years of practice in Body-Mind Centering® and other somatic methods; a fascination with everyday objects; and clowning. Together they create evening-length duo performances that are dark, drony, dreamy, and filled with surprises.

Jess Keyes and Matthew Williams of Baltimore have performed together only once before, at the Mid-Atlantic Wilderness/Sustain Us special show on December 18, 2022. They will improvise sound and movement together again for this special night of duos.

This event is made possible with the support of a Maryland State Arts Council Creative Grant and Deutsch Foundation Rubys Artist Award.

Public Speaking (Brooklyn) with The Arm, Carillon, PTSD

Public Speaking (Brooklyn) with The Arm, Carillon, PTSD


$10-15 suggested

Brooklyn’s Public Speaking is the soulful electronic music of singer-songwriter and producer Jason Anthony Harris. Live, he uses voice, found objects, radio, synth, and tape recorder, poring over pedals to loop, warp and augment these sources.

The Arm is Jason Charney (guitar/electronics), Sarah Manley (trombone/electronics), and Patrick McMinn (trumpet/electronics). Somewhere between a beautiful brass chorale and a broken distortion pedal.

Carillon is a solo project from Ken Quam, a musician and composer from Baltimore. Using synthesizers, vibraphone, and sampled sounds, he creates peaceful instrumental music with elements of ambient, drone, and noise. The melodies and motifs repeat, build, and deepen to create a dreamlike atmosphere.

Pique Collective: Bayou Borne

Pique Collective: Bayou Borne

On Friday, October 4, Pique Collective will present two works: the graphic score, "Bayou Borne for Pauline," by Annea Lockwood, and the premiere of a new composition by Jeremy Lyons titled, "Water Cycle."

The Lockwood is a spatially fluid piece that requires the performers to move about the room and converge at certain locations in an effort to reflect the movement of water from six bayous toward their drainage location of Houston, Texas. Dedicated to Pauline Oliveros, the piece draws upon the ethos of music being sound that occurs all around us.

Keeping with the water theme, the Lyons composition is a sonic representation of the nine major physical processes of the global water cycle. It is a theme and variations scored for flute, contrabassoon, percussion, cello, guitar, and water.

FREE Screening of Deep Listening: The Story of Pauline Oliveros

FREE Screening of Deep Listening: The Story of Pauline Oliveros

Free Fall Baltimore has generously funded this screening of the new Pauline Oliveros documentary DEEP LISTENING: The Story of Pauline Oliveros

7pm Sonic Meditation led by Matt Burke

7:30 Refreshments

8-10pm Film Screening

"Weintraub makes use of an archive of rare photographs, home movies, hand-drawn scores and signal flow diagrams, excerpts of unheard music, and rare footage from live performances, to assemble an impression of Oliveros that is charmingly funny, wise and profoundly real but without disturbing her essential mystery."

"What emerges is a clear image of a deeply integrated, profoundly humane creative practice based on attentiveness and inclusion."

-Leah Kardos, The Wire / On Screen

"Luminous."

    --Laurie Anderson

"Weintraub's film, which largely allows Oliveros herself to tell her story and explain her discoveries and ideas through recorded interviews that are peppered with commentary from her peers (Riley, Morton Subotnick) and disciples (Thurston Moore), is never at odds with the central tenets of the Deep Listening ethos. In fact, it leaves the viewer not only wanting to explore her music further, but to pay more attention to the sounds around them—something the composer no doubt would have appreciated."

--Peter Aaaron, Chronogram
