ELLIOTT SHARP’S
Velocity of Hue CD Release Party
Solo acoustic guitar
In his continuing exploration of the limits of instruments, composition, and improvisation, Issue Project Room celebrates Elliott Sharp’s recent release of “The Velocity Of Hue”, his latest collection of pieces performed on acoustic guitar as well as acoustic guitar processed with laptop computer. This music, while based upon Sharp’s personal sonic vocabulary of textures, densities, and groove, also filters it through the string traditions of the music of central Asia, India, and North Africa, country blues, and the “American primitive” strain of John Fahey and Robbie Basho.

THOM RADICE with THE LOVE DOGS
Poet and vocalist, Thom Radice, performs from any number of alternating egos, ids and paranormal entities. Temple Doors Open, Radice1s CD, focuses on loss and transcendence and his published writings, by Poetry, mark the landscape of intimate despair in measures both delicate and resounding. For his acting debut, Radice played “Willum” in the production The Nerd and also performed the lead role, “Reece”, in Communicating Doors by Alan Ayckbourn.
The Love Dogs cover the sonorous lower register with Andrew Salcius (cello) and C. Burg (bass clarinet). Salcius has all but abandoned the classical nomenclature for musical improvisation and the beyond. Burg began in the beyond as a founding member of the seminal no wave band Mars. She has recorded and performed under numerous aliases including Don King, The Drowning of Lucy Hamilton with Lydia Lunch and Gerry Miles with Melissa Weaver and Alan Licht.
