We’re back with our first CLEAT Series of 2023 where artists write specifically for our 16 channel speaker system suspended on our ceiling. This month we’ll have a solo set from Kyle Gregory Price and the duo of Santiago Quintana and Robert Scheuring. Join us!

Artist Bios

Kyle Gregory Price is a genre-fluid composer, percussionist, and turntablist, raised in upstate New York. Following college and a decade in the punk and new music scenes on the east coast, he moved to Chicago in 2010 to expand his community and opportunities for performing and creating. He has worked with organizations including Third Coast Percussion, the Merce Cunningham Dance Troupe, and NON:op Opera. Kyle has performed at the MCA, Art Institute of Chicago, Thirsty Ears Festival and in Experimental Sound Studio’s 2018 Oscillations as a solo turntablist. Most recently his compositions have been heard at Access Contemporary Music’s Sound of Silent Film Festival and Sonic Walkabout. Kyle now teaches piano and composition at ACM. In 2014 he also co-founded, with Deirdre Harrison, the intergenerational literacy chamber band The Lucky Trikes, who have recorded two albums at ESS. Akin to the 3rd movement of Berio’s ''Sinfonia'', In Ruhig Fliessender Bewegung, this composition will be a collage of pre-existing and newly composed material. Another frame of reference will be Plastikman’s Deck EFX & 909 in the manner that the entirety of the pre-existing material will be played from records and analog synthesizers. However, this collection will be of Chicago based artists. The genre’s that have influenced me and prompted the want to work with the CLEAT system, free-jazz, new-music and experimental, will be the source material. Some examples of the records utilized will be from such locals, new and old, as Olivia Block, Frank Rosaly, and Avreeayl Ra. This material will be recontextualized into a whole new composition with such parameters in mind as harmonic progressions between records; melodically and harmonically relevant, loosely composed but improvised segues; and, finally, forms and dynamics referencing the found material. The two generative sound sources will be all controlled spatially via Ableton.

In Santiago Quintana and Robert Scheuring’s it it is, improvised sounds are created, organized, and transformed in three orders of magnitude—macro, micro, and mezzo.
