Jeff Kimmel and Jack Langdon will perform an improvised set to celebrate the release of "The other side of the air", their new album on Dinzu Artefacts. The record is an improvised meeting between clarinet and a small, hand-built pipe organ.

Jeff Kimmel is a Chicago-based clarinetist whose work encompasses improvisation, new and experimental music, and interdisciplinary collaborations. His discography includes releases on New Focus Recordings, Dinzu Artefacts, Amalgam, Peira and Low Impact. Jeff’s work has been funded by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, and he was awarded a residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts to work with Roscoe Mitchell. He holds a B.M. from New England Conservatory.

Jack Langdon (b. 1994, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians) is a musician, filmmaker, and writer with concentrations in experimental music, minimalist documentary, and cultural politics. Across mediums, Jack’s work stages elusive, complex encounters with commonplace subjects, scenes, and sounds. As a musician, he has created extensive work for pipe organs, and regularly performs on a variety of keyboard instruments as well as the Ojibwe wooden flute (bibigwan). His films focus on landscape, the built environment, memory, and their transmission through people. He writes on the political economy of cultural production and the workplace politics of American independent music making.
