Overnight Sensation

This Friday Mikronesia will be performing at Over-night Sensation, a bowerbird show at Plays and Players Theater. I’ll be performing on acoustic piano and electronics. Here’s more information about the gig:

OVER-NITE SENSATION: Fall Edition
A seven part sampling of uncategorizable acts of creativity.

@ Plays and Players
1714 Delancy Street
9pm; $5- $10 sliding scale

For over three years Bowerbird has stood under the banner of “experimental” and championed the multitude of perspectives that umbrella encompasses.  OVER-NITE SENSATION offers a unique opportunity, for the seasoned and the uninitiated alike, to sample a broad array of artistic inclinations, all in one night.  Artists from Philadelphia and far beyond will beguile the audience with free jazz, electro-acoustic improvisation, free improv, inter-media video and sound works, dance, euphoric drones, and psychedelic compositions. 

1. Damon Smith - solo bass; not jazz, not not jazz; west coast style, maybe a bit upside down.
2. Phill Sheldon - unresolved investigations at the edge of Fluxus, not a little bit Yoko Ono.
3. Ian Fraser - electronic array I: analog electronic circuits, laptop, tapes, radio, etc.
4. Mike Szekely (drums), Matt Engle (bass), Matt Mitchell (keyboards/electronics); Jack Wright (saxophones) - also not jazz, not not jazz.
5. Travis Woodson - solo guitar;
6. Scott Allison - electronic array II: analog electronic circuits, laptop, tapes, radio, etc.
7. Mikronesia - piano, electronics

Important notes: Note 9pm start time. Set durations will be generally between 10 - 15 minutes, making for a quicker, but not exhausting parade of performances.  Quig’s Pub, the Plays and Players on-premise speakeasy, will be offering adult beverages and other libations throughout the night.  Revelry will abound.
