C. Spencer Yeh and Kwami Winfield / Gryphon Rue and Sean Meehan / Shoko Nagai and David Watson

Long Island City
$17.18

C. Spencer Yeh and Kwami Winfield (violin, voice, trumpet and electronics) have been working as a duo since late 2021. There was an immediate mutual decision to formalize the duo as an established unit, developing and pursuing a dynamic improvisational collaboration beyond the conceptual and instrumental associations of their respective practices.

Gryphon Rue is an artist, composer, and musician. He shapes abstract pieces from electroacoustic textures and field recordings, blurring the line between the natural and the digitally transformed. Frequently he draws directly from processes found in nature – feedback, cycles, emergence, and systemic interaction – using environmental recordings and processed acoustic instruments to emulate organic patterns and phenomena. He will be performing with Sean Meehan, well known for playing a kit often consisting of a single snare drum and cymbal. Meehan creates sounds that range from the subtle friction of a fork rubbing against a drum, to long tones that can seem electronically generated.

Shoko Nagai improvises and performs with world-renowned musicians on piano, accordion and synths. She composes original scores for films and live performances. As a teenager in Japan, Nagai was trained on Yamaha's electronic organ, the "Electone," to perform popular music. Since moving to the U.S. from Japan she has adapted her mastery of the keyboard to prepared piano, accordions, and other keyboard instruments. he will be performing with David Watson on guitar (and maybe) bagpipes. Recently he's performed at Roulette with Lee Ranaldo and Brian Chase, at Lava with Sean Meehan and Cleek Schrey, and completed recordings with Bill Nace and Judith Hamman.
