In an evening of noise and improvisation, sound and movement Portland noise ensemble uneasy trio (Gilbert/Trotter/Smith) will be joined by sound artist chloe alexandra and LA duo A field folded (Wilson Shook/Widow).
uneasy trio is comprised of Annie Gilbert (voice, trombone), Justin Smith (viola, bass, electronics) and Stephanie Lavon Trotter (voice). Together they improvise and explore their unique timbral grouping. They play with their improvisations in amplified multiplicities, and various resonant spaces.

A field folded: Widow (A. Vitacolonna, microphone, bells, movement) and Wilson Shook (woodwinds). Sound, movement, space. Listening and choice. Dissonance and pleasure. Grasping the contours of possibility in a hostile environment. A field folded.
"This stone is you, this fire is you, this departure is you." - G. Luca
Saxophonist Wilson Shook makes music like a moth fluttering at a street light. Graceful, frantic, persistent and sometimes tragic, it is music absorbed of its own inscrutable purpose. It finds serenity in immediacy, escape in acts of radical presence. It is here, and then it is not. A self-taught improvising saxophonist, Wilson often performs as a soloist, with sustained collaborations including Greg Kelley (nmperign), Dave Abramson (Diminished Men, Master Musicians of Bukkake), Andrew Scott Young (Tiger Hatchery), Ben Bennett, Ryan Jewell, Jacob Wick, Carol Genetti, Gust Burns, Patrick Neill Gundran (Uneasy Chairs). Sporadic collaborations have included many other creative voices in contemporary weirdness. For 10 years Wilson helped to organize the performance space Gallery 1412 in Seattle. He relocated to Los Angeles in late 2017.
