Peter Evans/Cory Smythe Duo & Dan Blake Electroacoustic Group

New York’s contemporary music scene is incomparably vast in scope, perhaps impossible to cover with a single series. With this residency at The Firehouse Space, Dan Blake brings together a range of collaborations that at least begins to represent the diversity of experiences and musical styles.

This first concert features Peter Evans in duo with pianist Cory Smythe, two singular and eclectic artists whose experience in the singular new music group International Contemporary Ensemble and as cutting edge improvisers make them an ideal pair. They each have worked steadily for years to broaden the expressive vocabulary of their instruments in both solo and group contexts, and will explore their ongoing collaboration in the evening’s duo performance.

Also featured will be an expanded version of Dan Blake’s newest collaboration with electronic artist and composer Sam Pluta. The performance will feature Terri Hron, a resident of Montreal and a composer and recorder virtuoso who has released two recordings of electro-acoustic for her instrument that she commissioned from composers around the world (Blake being one). The evening’s performance will also feature Dan Peck and Tom Blancarte, who will most likely make sure that by the end of the night, we will never hear the bass clef the same way again!
