Elastro A/V

Please join us this Fall for a special series of four live electro/acoustic sound + video performances featuring over 40 local artists. This series will be broken up into 2 parts, the first of which takes place the last weekend of October. Friday 10/25 and Saturday 10/26 will be a mini-fest of 8 sets in the spirit of “Chicago jazz/improvised mixed groupings”, with many of the city’s most prolific, creative, and diverse experimental / electronic / electro/acoustic / video improvisers.

The second part of this series will consist of the third and fourth performances, Friday 11/15 and Friday 12/13. These shows will be more in line with our traditional concert presentations, featuring collaborations between live sound makers and live video artists. 

This series is curated by Kim Alpert, Alex Babbitt, Paul Giallorenzo, and Daniel Wyche; with support from mediaThe foundation.
