Daxophone Consort: HARD WOOD
ISSUE Project Room
22 Boerum Place, Downtown, Brooklyn

$15

America's only extant daxophone consort!  A daxophone is an instrument invented by a German maniac, consisting of a finely wrought wooden blade fixed to a block.  The blade is usually bowed, although it can also be plucked or struck.  The promotional materials for this event describe the instrument as sounding somewhere between a cello and a badger, which is about right.  This show features a new piece for daxophone consort by no less than Alvin Lucier(who's just the guy to write such a piece).  There'll also be some improvisations, and a new collaboration with experimental vocalist / cantorJudith Berkson.  Frankly, if you've been to one daxophone recital, that's probably enough -- but if you haven't been to any, you might want to remedy that.
