SOPER: Voices from the Killing Jar
Spend an evening in the company of seven of history, literature, and myth’s most spellbinding women. Guggenheim Awardee composer and vocalist Kate Soper brings Madame Bovary, Clytemnestra, The Great Gatsby’s Daisy, and others to electrifying life in this monodrama for voice and ensemble.

PLUTA: Broken Symmetries
In Broken Symmetries, improviser, software developer and sound pioneer Sam Pluta combines the sonic world of guitar feedback with the virtuosic performers of the Wet Ink Ensemble’s touring septet. This twenty-five minute, one movement monolith merges epic guitar howls with Joshua Modney’s microtonal violin playing, Erin Lesser and Eric Wubbels’ virtuosic skills on the flute and piano, and the brute force of Ian Antonio on percussion with Alex Mincek on saxophone.

Join us at Exapno on October 5 to celebrate the release of Katharina’s new album on HatART!  We’re thrilled to be on this great label as an ensemble.  We spent a week recording at UCSD a couple of seasons ago, excited to finally see the finished product.

We’re psyched to have On Structure performing some new material for the evening (Jessie Marino, Natacha Diels).  Plus, we will have some performances by Wet Ink including excerpts from Kate Soper’s Cipher (vn/voice) and a new work for ensemble (feat. Ian Antonio, Eric Wubbels, Kate Soper, Alex Mincek, Sam Pluta, and Josh Modney).  And there will be refreshments, of course.

Hope to see you at Exapno! 33 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY
