performing two sets for an intimate evening at Ivy Room: Strolling Gnomes Thomas Dimuzio – electronics, Fred Frith – guitar, Ben Goldberg – clarinet, Larry Ochs – tenor and sopranino saxophones, Scott Amendola – drums/percussion/electronics It was bound to happen. These fine musicians and deep improvisors have shared the stage in various forms for the past 4 decades. It’s about time they got together and explored the possibilities. Fred Frith has taken the guitar into new territory for decades. Thomas Dimuzio’s use of electronics has the ability to create sounds unimaginable, and capture sounds of those he’s playing with to create more of the unimaginable. Ben Goldberg will find himself in just about any kind of musical situation and come through as a unique voice and is more than up for the adventure. Larry Ochs has one of the most interesting voices on the saxophone. For decades he has pushed its limits. Scott Amendola knows drums and electronics, knows space and density, knows groove and soundscapes. Together, this evening will become an exciting foray into the realm of what’s possible, imaginable, unimaginable, and memorable.
