NYC Subway: E or 6 STRAYLIGHT Ambient, Avant Synthesis. This electro acoustic improvisational trio features JASON FINKELMAN on percussion, GEOFF GERSH on electric guitar and CHARLES COHEN on analog Buchla Easel. An unknown adventure awaits as Straylight embarks on a musical journey - sounds evoke images of rain forests, lands in urban jungles and Moroccan caravans crossing Tottori sands. Special guest DAVID GAMPER is a Sound Shifter - his electronic wizardry transforms sound in remarkable ways. He is a member of The Deep Listening Band which has toured the world experimenting with sound - from Tokyo Panasonic National Hall with over 700 loudspeakers - to a two million gallon cistern near Seattle. There are also two installations: The Wish Machine by Chrysanne Stathacos & Reconstructions: The Video Image Outside of Time by Van McElwee.
