re:percussions is a series of events featuring drummers and drummer led projects that expand the parameters of the percussive medium curated by Grady Gerbracht and sponsored by the Nomadic Museum of Sonic Arts.
“You’ve never heard (or seen) a drummer like Ravish Momin. Whether he’s playing the drum set with his hands, seamlessly fusing his drums with a laptop full of electronic sounds, or creating vocal percussion, Momin is reinventing his instrument. ” (Rochester Times, 3/11). His goal with “Solo_Tarana” is to create a live hybrid-DJ set, one that combines acoustic and electronic beats along with melodic and ambient structures, while employing elements that are through-composed as well as improvised.
