Dada Strain @ L&SD
Mo Piotr Orlov. Mo L&SD
Dada Strain @ L&SD is a bi-monthly series of live performances by (primarily local) improvisers and producers, that presents music for deep listening and body movements as a singular DIY loft experience. Rhythm, Improvisation, Community to the future.
This third Dada Strain @ L&SD night will open with a solo set by cellist Christopher Hoffman (member of Henry Threadgill’s Zooid band) live-debuting material from his wonderful amplified cello album REX, inspired by the work Rex Brasher, a self-taught painter who created an archive of watercolors of North American birds. (Tonight marks the record release party for REX.)
It will be followed by another debut, that of a very special duo: experimental vocalist and electronic multi-instrumentalist Christina Wheeler, an NYC music veteran now living between Berlin and Los Angeles, collaborating with the trumpeter and electronic producer, Chris Williams, two dear Dada Strain friends uniting in sound for the first time.
The evening will close with a live hardware set by Prince of Queens, the Colombia-born New York-raised house-meets-cumbia producer best known as bassist/synth player for tropical psychdelicists Combo Chimbita.
Selections before-between-after will be provided by Piotr Dada Strain. Tonight’s show was produced with the generous help of FourOneOne.
