Thomas Strønen is a jazz drummer, percussionist, composer and keen cyclist. He uses an array of exotic percussion and electronic looping to create modern dance music. In his compositions repeating cycles of
notes, as well as dancing rhythms, circle each other to create large, slow-wheeling musical structures.
Robert McFall's Chamber: Robert McFall on violin, Brian Schiele on viola, Su-a Lee on cello and Rick Standley on double bass.
Several of the pieces refer to cycling, including one dedicated to the Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree. Two other new works, one by the group’s bass player Rick Standley and another by viola player Brian Schiele, will also receive their premiere performances at this event.
Video projection will be by John McGeoch of Moving Arts.
