    A vibrant poster for the Dada Strain live event featuring performances by Christopher Hoffman, Christina Wheeler & Chris Williams, and Prince of Queens, all live. The event is hosted at Light & Sound Design Studios in Greenpoint (RSVP for location). Tickets range from $20–$30. The poster is designed with abstract, fluid art in pink, purple, and blue hues, evoking a surreal, dynamic aesthetic. Curated by Piotr Dada Strain, with a nod to the iconic 411 logo.

    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.

    I was tipped off to Vladimir Ivkovic by Apiento on the excellent Test Pressing who said his set was at the top of his list from Love International last summer.

    Vladimir is playing the closing Sunday eve set at Nowadays this weekend, so it seems having him on heavy rotation these last weeks turns may prove to have been a wise conditioning move.
