SUMMARY:THE FUTURE IS INDIGENOUS: Messages to the Seventh Generation
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception Saturday\, April 12\, 2025 \n\nMembers Preview 5 – 6 pm\nPublic Reception 6 – 8 pm\nPanel Discussion 6:30 pm\n\nThere is no doubt we live in challenging times. The impacts of climate change are being felt by more people than ever before. We are witnessing major challenges to long held frameworks and systems – like colonization\, capitalism\, patriarchy\, and white supremacy – as well as the backlash to these challenges. Much like Mother Earth\, these frameworks have reached their limits. Today’s context calls for abilities\, skills\, and frameworks that most of us have not been equipped with. Thankfully\, they are available and ready for us to pick up. \nTHE FUTURE IS INDIGENOUS claims this reality. Indigenous cultures and frameworks offer important contributions on the pathway through recovery\, and to a healed and balanced world. One such framework is the Seventh Generation Principle\, which asks the current generation to make decisions that will benefit not only us\, but also the seven generations after us. \nThe contemporary indigenous artists participating in this exhibition not only showcase Indigenous excellence in the arts\, but will also offer their grounded\, unique\, and courageous messages to us and the next seven generations. – Jihan Gearon\, Curator \nImage credit: Corey Begay\, Taìcheeh (Sweatlodge)\, Acrylic on canvas\, 30″x30″

SUMMARY:Earth
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nOver the course of their thirty trips around the sun\, Earth has remained diligent in their commitment to monolithic minimalism. The sonic vocabulary may have changed—from their early years churning out seismic drone metal on albums like Earth 2 (1993) to the dusty Morricone-tinged comeback album Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method (2005) to the meditative rock approach of Primitive and Deadly (2014)—but the underlying principle of austerity and restraint remains a constant. With their latest album Full Upon Her Burning Lips\, Earth purges the layers of auxiliary instrumentation that embellished some of their previous records and deconstructed their dynamic to the core duo of Dylan Carlson on guitar and bass and Adrienne Davies on drums and percussion. In the process\, they tapped into the Platonic ideal of Earth—an incarnation of the long running band bolstered by the authority of purpose\, where every note and every strike on the drum kit carries the weight of the world. \nFull Upon Her Burning Lips opens with “Datura’s Crimson Veils”\, a twelve-minute opus that adheres to Earth’s 21st century approach with Carlson’s sepia-toned Bakersfield Sound guitars lurching across a barren landscape while Davies punctuates the melodies with death knell drums. It’s a sound that harkens back to the riff-constructed vistas of their Angels of Darkness\, Demons of Light albums\, but stripped of their ornateness. “It was definitely a very organically developed record\,” Carlson says of the process. “I limited the number of effects I used. I always like the limiting of materials to force oneself to employ them more creatively. Previous Earth records were quite lush sounding\, and I wanted a more upfront and drier sound\, using very few studio effects.” In less capable hands\, these kinds of limitations might diminish the aural scope of the compositions\, but Carlson and Davies have always thrived on reductive methods. \nThe stripped down approach had another advantage. “I really wanted the drums to be present\,” Carlson says. “I felt with previous Earth records that other instrumentation took up so much of the sonic space that the drums were kind of pushed to the side.” This tactic helps highlight Davies’ ability to elevate the drum kit beyond its mere metronomic functions and allows it to serve as an expressive\, nuanced\, and tonally rich component to Earth’s arsenal of sound. \nIn addition to scaling back on their ranks\, Earth altered their previous trajectory by entering into Full Upon Her Burning Lips without a conceptual arc to guide the process\, relying instead on their collective subconscious to hone in on the overarching muse as the songs developed. “In the past I’ve usually had a strong framework for an album\,” Carlson says. “This one developed over the course of writing and recording. It just felt like ‘Earth’—like just the two players doing their best work at playing\, serving the music.” The absence of a pre-existing narrative guiding the compositions meant that the songs were more open and intuitive\, often resulting in more terse musical vignettes like the richly harmonic “Exaltation of Larks” or the dreamily itinerant “Maidens Catafalque”. Yet subconscious impulses gradually created their own subtext for the album. “I wanted this to be a ‘sexy’ record\, a record acknowledging the ‘witchy’ and ‘sensual’ aspects in the music… sort of a ‘witch’s garden’ kind of theme\, with references to mind altering plants and animals that people have always held superstitious beliefs towards. A conjuror or root doctor’s herbarium of songs\, as it were.” \nThe ten tracks on Full Upon Her Burning Lips came together in bits and pieces. Songs like “Cats on the Briar” and “Mandrake’s Hymn” stemmed from a handful of musical phrases and repeating patterns concocted in moments of downtime during their 2017 tour schedule. “Descending Belladonna” came from a live soundtrack project. Other songs came from rehearsals in the months leading up to recording or in moments of divine inspiration in the studio. The record was engineered\, mixed\, and mastered by longtime associate Mell Dettmer at Studio Soli. Knowing their process and their sound\, Dettmer helped harness\, shape\, and document the songs in a manner that highlights the depth of Earth’s sparse components\, capturing hidden dimensions much like the veiled images residing in the Magic Eye prints from the ‘90s. For the patient listener\, the cyclical nature of the songs “She Rides an Air of Malevolence” or “An Unnatural Carousel” reveal new forms with repeated listens\, with the subtle variations between passes creating a kaleidoscope of auditory activity. \n“I feel like this is the fullest expression and purest distillation of what Earth does since I re-started the band\,” Carlson says in reflection of Full Upon Her Burning Lips. And indeed\, anyone that’s followed Earth on their journey will bask in the unadulterated hums\, throbs\, and reverberations conjured by Carlson and Davies. Sargent House is proud to offer up the album to the world on May 24th\, 2019 on 2xLP / CD / digital formats. \nSave 10% with membership! Use unique member number at checkout.

SUMMARY:Etran de L'Aïr with special guests maya ongaku
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nPlaying for over 25 years\, Etran de L’Aïr has emerged as stars of the local wedding circuit. Beloved for their dynamic repertoire of hypnotic solos and sun schlazed melodies\, Etran stakes out a place for Agadez guitar music. Playing a sound that invokes the desert metropolis\, “Agadez” celebrates the sounds of all the dynamism of a hometown wedding. \nEtran is a family band composed of brothers and cousins\, all born and raised in the small neighborhood of Abalane\, just in the shadow of the grand mosque. Sons of nomadic families that settled here in the 1970s fleeing the droughts\, they all grew up in Agadez. The band was formed in 1995 when current band leader Moussa “Abindi” Ibra was only 9 years old. “We only had one acoustic guitar\,” he explains\, “and for percussion\, we hit a calabash with a sandal.” Over the decades\, the band painstakingly pieced together gear to form their band and built an audience by playing everywhere\, for everyone. “It was difficult. We would walk to gigs by foot\, lugging all our equipment\, carrying a small PA and guitars on our backs\, 25 kilometers into the bush\, to play for free…there’s nowhere in Agadez we haven’t played.” \nFrom the days of the Trans-Saharan caravan in the 14th century to a modern-day stopover for Europe-bound migrants\, Agadez is a city that stands at the crossroads\, where people and ideas come together. Understandably\, it’s here where one of the most ambitious Tuareg guitar has taken hold. Agadez’s style is the fastest\, with frenetic electric guitar solos\, staccato crash of full drum kits\, and flamboyant dancing guitarists. Agadez is the place where artists come to cut their teeth in a lucrative and competitive winner-take-all scene. Guitar bands are an integral part of the social fabric\, playing in weddings\, baptisms\, and political rallies\, as well as the occasional concert. \nWhereas other Tuareg guitarists look to Western rock\, Etran de L’Aïr play in a pan-African style that is emblematic of their hometown\, citing a myriad of cultural influences\, from Northern Malian blues\, Hausa bar bands\, to Congolese Soukous. It’s perhaps this quality that makes them so beloved in Agadez. “We play for the Tuareg\, the Toubou\, the Zarma\, the Hausa\,” Abindi explains. “When you invite us\, we come and play.” Their music is rooted in celebration\, and invokes the exuberance of an Agadez wedding\, with an overwhelming abundance of guitars\, as simultaneous solos playfully pass over one another with a restrained precision\, forceful yet never overindulgent. \nRecorded at home in Agadez with a mobile studio\, their eponymous album stays close to the band’s roots. Over a handful of takes\, in a rapid-fire recording session\, “Agadez” retains all the energy of a party. Their message too is always close to home. Tchingolene (“Tradition”) recalls the nomad camps\, with a modern take on traditional takamba rhythms transposed to guitars. The dreamy ballad Toubouk Ine Chihoussay (“The Flower of Beauty”) dives into call and response lyrics\, and solos that dance effortlessly over the frets. On other tracks like Imouwizla (“Migrants”)\, Etran addresses immigration with the driving march parallels the nomads’ plight with travelers crossing the desert for Europe. Yet even at its most serious\, Etran’s music is engaged and dynamic\, reminding us that music can transmit a message while lighting up a celebration. This is music for dancing\, after all. \n\n  \nHailing from the seaside communities surrounding Enoshima\, a small island located 50 km southwest of Tokyo\, maya ongaku is a ragtag collective of local musicians whose brand of earthy psychedelia transcends widely beyond the roots of their inner souls. The name derives not from any kind of ancient civilization\, but rather a neologism defined as the imagined view outside one’s field of vision. The band—currently a trio of Tsutomu Sonoda\, Ryota Takano\, and Shoei Ikeda—finds sanctuary at the Ace General Store\, a beachy vintage shop and salon-like space just hidden from sight from the bustling\, touristy riverside Subana Street. Between discussions on music and art\, curating the vinyl section and manning the register\, and chatting up with locals young and old\, the members find time to jam and record their spontaneous ideas in the studio tucked away in the back. It’s in this unlikely setting where maya ongaku finds its origins\, the culmination of what Sonoda describes as 自然発生 (shizen hassei)\, meaning spontaneous generation\, or the supposed production of living organisms from nonliving matter. \nSave 10% with membership! Use unique member number at checkout.

SUMMARY:Interference Series presents Catherine Sikora & Eric Mingus (NYC)
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nCatherine Sikora and Eric Mingus create music that lives in the bones and breath—where improvisation becomes language\, and sound becomes a vessel for history\, place\, and presence. \nCatherine Sikora is a tenor and soprano saxophonist\, composer\, and improviser whose playing carries the deep imprint of natural landscapes and sonic exploration. From the moment she first heard the wind singing through a metal gate as a child\, she has been captivated by the magic of resonant air. Her devotion to the saxophone is both spiritual and fiercely disciplined\, informed by years of study\, practice\, and international performance. With sixteen albums as leader or co-leader\, Sikora’s work spans collaborations with artists such as Susan Alcorn\, Brian Chase\, and Ursel Schlicht. She is a member of the soprano saxophone quartet Chaos Theory (led by Sam Newsome) and the improvising trio Eris 136199. Her music has been featured on BBC’s Freeness\, Free Jazz Blog\, and festivals including Jazz em Agosto (Lisbon)\, Vision Festival (NYC)\, Documenta 15 (Germany)\, and the Adelaide Festival of the Arts. \nEric Mingus is a vocalist\, composer\, poet\, and multi-instrumentalist whose career defies categorization. With a voice that can move from thunder to lullaby\, and a creative lineage rooted in the legacy of Black American music\, Mingus works at the intersection of jazz\, blues\, punk\, poetry\, and performance art. He has collaborated with artists including Howard Johnson\, Elliott Sharp\, Hubert Sumlin and Levon Helm\, while developing his own multidisciplinary works such as The Mill—an ongoing project that explores ancestral memory\, survival\, and storytelling in the Great Smoky Mountains. He leads the Sacred Routes Vocal Ensemble\, using words and melody to trace the roots of our human connection. In addition to private coaching of musicians\, Eric teaches at The New School\, is a judge and educator at the annual Charles Mingus High School competition\, has lectured at Berklee\, Harvard\, UC Irvine\, the Banlieues Blues Jazz festival (Paris\, France) and the In Situ Arts Society (Bonn\, Germany). He taught vocal improvisation classes and a Charles Mingus workshop at London’s Community Music House. \nAs a duo\, Sikora and Mingus build landscapes in real time—improvised dialogues where breath\, voice\, and instrument move together through terrain that is sometimes ecstatic\, sometimes aching\, always alive. Their work reflects their distinct cultural lineages—Ireland and the Black American South—and honors both the intimacy of collaboration and the expansiveness of improvisation. \nSave 10% with membership! Use unique member number at checkout.

SUMMARY:Interference Series presents Paul Livingstone & Partho Sarothy
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nLeading sarod player of India\, Partho Sarothy and American sitarist Paul Livingstone are disciples of the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar and have been performing together for over 20 years giving concerts in India\, Mexico and the United States. Their sensitive approach to the dynamics of raga alaap emphasizes an exploration of emotional depth. Their interactive approach then transitions into the excitement of rhythmic intensity through improvisations typical of the Maihar gharana tradition and the jugalbandi style made famous by their guru and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. Their international work together demonstrates their sonic unity and compatibility that artists from different cultures can bring forth within the rigorous form of classical raga music. As soloists they have played with most of the leading tabla players of India\, Pakistan and Nepal including Ustad Zakir Hussain\, Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri\, Pandit Hom Nath Upadhyaya\, Ustad Bashir Khan among many others. \nSave 10% with membership! Use unique member number at checkout.
