Here is info about the performance: In the middle of a weeklong tour of the north-east, Jeremiah Cymerman, Matthew Welch, and Erik Hinds, three young musicians whose singular voices absolutely demand attention, present an evening of solo and trio music. Each musician will perform a brief solo set and then reconvene for a trio set. Music for Bagpipes, H'arpeggione, and Modified Electroacoustic Clarinet doesn¹t get any better than this.
Matthew Welch's compositions range from traditional-like bagpipe tunes to electronic pieces, improvisation strategies and fully notated works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles and orchestra. A recording of his most recent compositions, Dream Tigers, was released on John Zorn's Tzadik Records' Composer Series in March of 2005.
Erik Hinds plays quartertone electric guitar and the H'arpeggione, an upright acoustic instrument with 12 sympathetic strings built by Fred Carlson. Equally influenced by improvisational music and "composed" sounds, Erik's style blends primitive folk, heavy metal, and sacred musics from around the world into a distinct voice.
Jeremiah Cymerman is known for an admirable DIY aesthetic and an unorthodox approach to the Bb clarinet. Cymerman has performed with many of music¹s most daring luminaries including Lawrence D. "Butch" Morris, Walter Thompson, & Otomo Yoshihide.

A.C. Unit
"A.C. Unit unites guitarist/banjoist Ben B. Lee, tenor saxophonist Jonathan Moritz, and drummer Mike pride in a tangled web of intuitive improvisation. "
- Time Out, NY
Brooklyn based composer/guitarist/banjoist, Ben B. Lee, first assembled A.C. Unit in 2002, after meeting drummer Mike Pride in the avant-rock band, Angriest Pussycat. Lee was introduced to tenor saxophonist Jonathan Moritz later that year, who was in a project called Evil Eye with Pride and Nate Wooley. After a series of regular gigs in Brooklyn, A.C. Unit started to play at some of New York City's most reputable venues such as the 55bar, Tonic, Barbes, and ABC No-RIo. They have also done several tours up and down the East Coast and have had the opportunity to perform with legendary musicians such as Eugene Chadbourne, and William Parker. This trio posseses an intimacy and singular group sound concept far too uncommon in today's jazz world of constant line-up changes and inconsistent club work. A.C. Unit will be releasing their second record, Sensual Polyphony, on this 2006 tour.
