Olivia Block composes for conventional forces, does found-sound constructions, and improvises on piano, organ, and electronics. Tonight, I'm betting on electronics. Raven Chacon writes chamber music and electronic noise music. Tonight, I'm betting on noise. It's worth noting that this TIME:SPANS After Experimental Music sub-series is co-curated by musicologist Benjamin Piekut, whose Experimentalism Otherwise is one of the best books on music I've read and something I recommend to all of you very highly.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Il Punto is yet another pretty good Italian restaurant in this neighborhood.
