@BAM. Imaginary City by Sō Percussion 7:30pm (Part of the 2009 Next Wave Festival)
"In even the most forgotten corners and forsaken shadows, the city seethes with life, splayed out in a symphony of sensations. In Imaginary City, New York's powerhouse percussion ensemble Sō Percussion immerses itself in everyday urban experiences, offering a multifaceted meditation on American cities.
Inspired by Italo Calvino's ebullient descriptions of urban environments in his novel Invisible Cities, the four members of Sō Percussion—all extraordinary musicians and composers—join video artist Jenise Treuting and director Rinde Eckert to give voice to the evanescent beauty of the metropolis. Homespun sampling techniques harmonize with found objects cum instruments, illuminating the patterns of urban life and turning the concrete jungle into a cauldron of sensory experience."
