Steve Jansen + Doris Dana + Streak of Tigers + Nathan Taylor

An evening of improvised music and sounds from the outer edge!

Steve Jansen is a New Mexico-based sound maker whose experimental music output includes solo and band performances on saxophone, prepared guitar, natural and manufactured objects, and cassette tape across a swath of genres, ranging from free jazz and electro-acoustic improvisation to harsh noise and primitive techno. A primary element of Jansen’s constructions hinges on live cassette tape manipulations featuring onsite field recordings and ad-libbed performances from worldwide locations such as Ghana, continental Europe, Mexico, rural Arizona deserts and forests, and a plane crash site in the Sandia Mountains. These sound emissions are often articulated through malfunctioning devices that may or may not work come performance time, which brings another improvisational element to the set. Steve also runs the labels That’s Cool Records, UNHINGED, and Section 31.

Doris Dana (member of Bad LSD Trips, check out their latest LP “Ultrafest” on @enmossed): moving like a languid purple haze or a magenta plume of smoke, doris dana’s reveries evokes deep, colourful emotion.

Streak of Tigers – Found sounds, electronic, spoken word improvisation

Nathan Taylor has performed as Softer, N Bath, Sponge Bath, and as one half of the duo MARV. Active in the North Carolina underground since 2010, he employs techniques associated with the traditions of tape music, dub, sound design, noise, dance, and electro-acoustic improvisation.
