Nautical Almanacthe Dreebs
Fri Mar 18 – 8:00 PM
Nautical Almanac emerged from a Midwestern scene of noise outfits that transformed junk into homemade instruments by Carly Ptak & Twig Harper. They have reconfigured in many ways throughout the years always with an intention of creating altered states of consciousness. Within the last three years Ptak has centered her focus on lighting and she now uses her skills as a hynotherapist to create an intense environment of changing dimensions, colors, and emotions. Harper retains the role of the chief sonic alchemist deriving non-linear feedback systems from custom devices built with paragnosis designs. Ptak and Harper live in Baltimore, where they founded Tarantula Hill, a home, lending library, performance space, and recording studio, which is also the headquarters of their label Heresee.

Genre: classic music and rock fusion
Tyondai Braxton with the Wordless Music Orchestra
Caleb Burhans, conductor
Tyondai Braxton, best known for his role in the experimental rock group Battles, does not fit neatly into any one genre. His performances conjure sweeping symphonics, heady compositions, crashing guitars, and slyly playful sounds to create a wholly original style. For this contemporary classical event, Braxton will be joined by the 30-member Wordless Music Orchestra, a Brooklyn-based ensemble that, like Braxton, is dedicated to bridging the gap between classical and rock.
