A three night festival to help raise money for Roulette’s new home.
Dates: October 7, 8 and 9, 2010
Venue: The Roulette (20 Greene St., NY)
Tickets: $15 – $50
EASY NOT EASY is a three night festival curated by Shinkoyo founders Matt Mehlan & Doron Sadja to help raise money for Roulette as they prepare to move into their new Art Deco concert hall in Downtown Brooklyn.
Using the idea of “Simple Scores” as a starting point, they’ve asked a wide array of some of NYC’s most exciting young artists to compose and perform a series of “simple” new scores as well as some scores by more established artists – including John Zorn, Pauline Oliveros, Robert Ashley (world premiere), Dan Deacon, Brenda Hutchinson, members of Z’s and Extra Life and many many more!
Expect surprises. Current lineup is subject to change. More info T.B.A.
