First time meeting of this trio for two sets of improvisations.
Jason Kahn is a sound and visual artist based in Zürich. His work includes sound installation, performance and composition. He was born in New York, grew up in Los Angeles and relocated to Europe in 1990.
Kahn has been exhibiting his sound and visual works since the late 1990’s, and has had solo and group exhibitions internationally, including museums, galleries and arts spaces in the USA, Canada, France, Croatia, Germany, Argentina, Egypt, Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria and Spain. He has given concerts at various festivals, art spaces and clubs throughout Europe, North and South America, Japan, Mexico, Korea, Israel, Turkey, Russia, Lebanon, Egypt, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia.
Originally a percussionist, Kahn later began integrating live electronics into his playing. He currently performs with different combinations of percussion, analogue synthesizer or computer. As a composer, Kahn’s work draws on electronic and acoustic sound sources to create slowly developing compositions imbued with a sense of timelessness. His work addresses the entity of sound as both a physical and psychological factor shaping our consciousness. Kahn’s sound installations seek to enhance spatial awareness through sonic intervention, focusing on expanding our perception to other dimensions of seeing, hearing and feeling a space.

Bryan Eubanks (b. 1977) is a musician who focuses on collaborative improvisation and solo musical projects, working in live electronic settings with an instrument of his own design that integrates open-circuits and samplers, as well as in acoustic settings with the Soprano Saxophone. His work with sound installation is exploring sound as a function of architecture, cognition, and temporality. He became musically active in Portland, Oregon, and worked extensively with Joe Foster, Jean Paul Jenkins, Doug Theriault, and Leif Sundstrom (eventually in the duo GOD). Since relocating to New York he primarily collaborates with Andrew Lafkas and Vic Rawlings. He has released recordings on EMR, Jyrk, Little Enjoyer, and Gameboy and has performed music across the US, Europe, Japan, and Korea.
