SUMMARY:Unwritten Thursdays: Chris Corsano & Elisa Thorne + Cat Toren\, James Meger & Liam Murphy
DESCRIPTION:MONTHLY SERIES AT TYRANT STUDIOS (1019 Seymour St. *upstairs*) \nPresented in collaboration by Barking Sphinx Performing Society and Coastal Jazz \n9pm doors\n9:30pm music\n$15-20 \n(Tickets are not available for purchase until January 18th) \n1st set: CHRIS CORSANO & ELISA THORNE \n2nd set: CAT TOREN\, JAMES MEGER & LIAM MURPHY \nChris Corsano is a New York-based drummer who has been working at the intersections of free jazz\, avant-rock\, and experimental music since the late ’90s. He’s a rim-batterer of choice for some of the greatest contemporary purveyors of “jazz” (Joe McPhee\, Mette Rasmussen\, Zoh Amba) and “rock” (Sir Richard Bishop\, Bill Orcutt\, Jim O’Rourke)\, as well as artists beyond categorization (Björk for her Volta album and world tour\, Michael Flower\, Okkyung Lee). Appearing on over 180 albums and touring in an ultra-wide array of collaborations\, he’s a renowned solo performer in his own right\, with a record due out later this year on the Drag City label. He’s built a highly inventive musical language through ecstatic free improvisation\, extended percussion techniques\, and the augmentation of his kit with circular-breathed reeds and bowed strings that coax new resonances out of the drums’ heads. Corsano’s been called “one of the world’s great drummers” by The Guardian\, an “ace of the avant-garde” by The New York Times\, a “powerhouse drummer” by Rolling Stone\, and “arguably the most riotously energetic and creative drummer in contemporary free jazz” by Wire Magazine. Spin ranked him as one of the “100 Greatest Drummers of Alternative Music\,” and in 2017\, he received the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists Award. \nArts & design: Leisure Thief
