The Wisdom to Know the Difference

Luca Cimarusti

Join us as we welcome back Matthew Daher’s project The Wisdom to Know the Difference with Chicago artists Sarah Lutkenhaus and Luca Cimarusti joining the night. Daher’s electroacoustic solo project explores control and surrender on both a sonic and spiritual level. Using Ableton Live, drum / cymbal triggers, and apTrigga samplers, Daher processes acoustic drums and vocals, blends them with lush textures, and triggers other sonic events from the drum kit at varying degrees of randomness. Song-structured webs of intended and unintended sonic consequences emerge in generative, genre blurring compositions. Daher has performed the project in over 30 cities across the US and Canada, including performances at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.

Sarah Lutkenhaus uses modular synthesis, field recordings, and vocal improvisation to build layered compositions. The work explores emotional extremes, physical limitations, and vulnerability of the human experience in modern daily life.

Luca Cimarusti is a Chicago-based musician who has spent over twenty years operating in experimental rock, punk, and heavy metal. His solo percussion practice focuses on repetition, resonance, and decay.
