WNUR’s Sonic Celluloid: Kim Alpert / Chris Corsano Duo, Fetter, Killer Drones w/ Clark Woods
@ Elastic Arts
3429 W Diversey Ave, #208, Chicago IL, 60647
Opening Friday, March 1st, at 8PM
We’re back with another Sonic Celluloid at Elastic Arts, an annual event put on by Northwestern University’s WNUR radio program The Rock Show. The event highlights artists exploring the experimental and psychedelic sides of audio and video art. Each performance tonight will push sonic boundaries and incorporate deep visuals from the vast spectrum of live video. Opening the night will be prolific artist Kim Alpert and legendary drummer Chris Corsano in duo. Kim will be utilizing their experimental approaches to video art alongside a more recent exploration of improvisational audio. Chris Corsano will dive in and out of Kim’s offerings with his highly technical but often bombastic style of drumming. Following the duo we’ll see a set from Fetter, the moniker for multimedia artist Jess Tucker. Oscillating between ethereal and pounding, her all-hardware, largely improvised sets take listeners through a foggy wilderness of saturated rhythms and menacing synths, her golden voice guiding the way through even as it piles up in gushing, stuttering fragments. She incorporates video elements such as AR, animations, and live feedback to expand the space of the performance, creating layers of live and virtual perspectives on the unfolding scene. Closing the night we’ll hear from local heavy psych space rockers Killer Drones. The band goes deep and is reccomended for fans of Hawkwind, Can, and early Kraftwerk. Tonight they’ll be joined by video artist Clark Woods. We can’t wait for this full night of audio visual delight. Join us!
