Description

Imagine listening to live music as you soar through nebulas, galaxies, and star systems while simple beginnings build layer by layer into an intricate universe of musical textures. Two musicians expand the sonic boundaries of their instruments, each with his own self-invented techniques. Acoustic double-neck guitarist Ian Ethan Case fluidly combines a staggering variety of self-invented playing methods necessitated by his multilayered compositions, while Matthew Schoening plays the electric cello through a complex process of sound looping performed live, with no prerecorded material.

Experience the moment of creation as these two virtuosos perform live together — their music complemented by visions from deep outer space.

Tickets on sale beginning Thursday, August 22 (Tuesday, August 20 for Museum members).
