Honestly Same: Honestly Same is an amplified acoustic and synthetic quintet that improvises patient and contemplative music. The sound worlds breathe, loop, iterate, layer. A shiny digital synth finds a companion in a cello or recorder. The sound of a 90s PC powering up sympathizes with a plucked piano string. Honestly Same finds inspiration in insect and frog calls, resonant harmonies, and the blue light of a neighbor's TV. Zach Good plays clarinets, recorders, synthesizer. Lia Kohl plays cello, synthesizer, radio, phone, a little bit of everything. Mabel Kwan plays piano and accordion. Zach Moore plays synthesizer and contrabass. Sam Scranton plays percussion and electronics.
The Luc Mosley Ensemble: Utilizing a blend of woodwinds and electronics, Luc Mosley draws upon sounds of the past to forge new pathways for music of the future. In addition to leading his own groups, he performs with Big Syn, Graphics, and the Chicago Freedom Ensemble. This performance will feature Luc Mosley on saxophone/electronics, Olula Negre on cello, Matt Riggen on bass/trumpet, and Adam Shead on drums.
