A dynamite triple bill. Actress is Darren J. Cunningham's experimental electronic pop/dance project, always compelling and fascinating for listening and moving. Susie Ibarra is not just a first-rank jazz percussionist; she's also a first-rank musical conceptualist, coming up with seemingly endless combinations of great interest (and making musically cohesive use, when she feels like it, of the forms of her ancestral Philippines). DeForrest Brown Jr.'sSpeaker Music project is a campaign to reclaim techno for African-Americans, who invented the form; Speaker Music's music, though, is a good deal more abstract than what was coming out of Detroit on the cusp of the '80s/'90s (and none the worse for that).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Let's go to Saint Julivert Fisherie for eclectic, brilliantly conceiveded and well-prepared seafood.
