Bay-area improviser Matt Davignon pays a rare visit to New York City, and this setting pairs him with a diverse group of local improvisers. Known for his prowess with drum machines and processing, coaxing curtains of sound from his boxes, Davignon also co-curates one of the Bay Area’s most adventurous music series’ in one of its most inviting spaces - The Luggage Store Gallery. Joined by David Linton, Ben Owen Richard Garet, Sawako and Bruce Tovsky, the group will be augmented by video artists Shimpei Takeda and Chika, who will provide two screens of improvisational video. Sound designer Stephen Moore will sculpt the resulting soundscape with his innovative 16-channel hemispheric speaker installation.
