TICKETS + INFORMATION

An especially interesting night, even for the Shift series — especially if you like guitar. Chris LaButti constructs drones and noisy soundscapes with this guitar and other sonic materials. But the real interest tonight is the duo of Alain Courtis and Loren Connors. Connors is the space-blues guitarist, absolutely incomparable. He is also a Parkinsons sufferer — and he is joined by the Argentine guitarist/sound artist/composer Alan Courtis. Courtis is, among many things, a teacher of music to the developmentally disabled — best known for the legendary Argentine experimental band Reynols, beloved by both Sonic Youth and Pauline Oliveros, which he formed many years ago with student Miguel Tomasín, a drummer with Downs Syndrome whom you might have seen profiled in The Times last week.
