ABOUT THE BANDS :

The duo of Clausen/Dessel aims to explore the textural meeting of piano and horn. Going beyond idiomatic forms of improvisation, their goal is to delve deeper into polyrhythmic and polytonal structures, and explore a more constructivist approach to human interaction through improvised music. Sometimes utilizing electronics and prepared piano, their music seeks to inspire and engage the listener at every turn.

Jacob Little Cloud Fawcett (Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Ojibwe) is a Chicago based improvisational drummer/composer who blends aspects of jazz and traditional Native American music in order to create original compositions that accurately reflect Indigenous culture and experience. Former teachers include the great Frank Rosaly and legendary poly-rhythm guru Peter Magadini. 

Tyler Damon is a drummer, improviser and educator from the American Midwest. While tirelessly nurturing his solo voice, he has also been recognized internationally for collaborations past and present, currently appearing alongside several noted peers of the American underground including Dave Rempis, Gerrit Hatcher, Joshua Abrams, Mars Williams & Eli Winter, among many others.
