TICKETS + INFORMATION

A truly impressive — even amazing — line-up of exploratory music. It would be invidious to single out performers among such riches, but here are some personal favorites just to give you a taste of what’s being offered here (with the understanding that there’s lots more each night and it all looks kind of great): Dreamcrusher and King Vision Ultra’s sublime noise/hip-hop project Centernnial Gardens on Wednesday; Luke Stewart’s Assassinations for Free Jazz Ensemble, featuring Irreversible Entanglements and a Last Poet, on Thursday; Tongues in Trees, the great Indie/Indian band of Samita Sinha, Sunny Jain, and Grey Mcmurray on Friday; Techno-Mayan sensation Debit on Saturday; and multimedia drone legend Phill Niblock on Sunday. Just wow.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Indonesian at Wayan.
