ERIC THEISE + ABIGAIL HINSON
LARRY OCHS
with FRED LONBERG-HOLM & BEN DAVIS

In the perfect environment for close listening, the two cellos and saxophone TRIO BEN DAVIS – FRED LONBERG-HOLM – LARRY OCHS invite you, the avid listeners, to join the musicians in enjoying their spontaneous but carefully sculpted music as it happens, in real time. Through repeated performances, musical discussions after shows and rehearsals, this music slowly but confidently evolves. And the audience and the performance environment matter. There’s no more perfect environment than Paul Dresher’s studio space in which to hear the intimate improvisations that this trio hopes to deliver.

ERIC THEISE presents a set of performances, solo and in collaboration with ABIGAIL HINSON (movement) and local musicians. The concert involves an invented, map-driven sound maker; dance improvisations over a map animation project onto the floor; and improvised cartography projected onto the back wall that responding to music and dance. Theise’s work was recently seen atop San Francisco’s Salesforce Tower Top.
