December 3, 8pm, Sidewalk Tzara #8: Hartford Sound Alliance Quintet and Abram Taber

Featuring

Hartford Sound Alliance



Bill Solomon (percussion), Lief Ellis (laptop), Matt Sargent (laptop/guitars), Todd Merrell (laptop/shortwave radio), and Stephen Haynes (trumpet/cornet) are members of the Hartford Sound Alliance, a flexible, CT-based collective of composers, performers, sound engineers, and artists. As an improvisation ensemble, they focus on the real-time recycling of live sound, collaborative processing, incorporation of field recordings and radio in live performance, and group composition. The group recently premiered a concert of new works, entitled The Sync Effect, at the Hartford Art School, in collaboration with video artists Gene Gort, Liz Stephens, and Devan Mulvaney.

Abram Taber



electric bass + effects


At the tender age of 3, Abram Taber ripped open a cardboard box with a plastic toy screwdriver to get at the ukulele within. Throughout the next 23 years of his life, Abram has worked towards that same goal: unleashing sounds with whatever tools are available.
