Tiny Orchestral Moments presents an evening of structured improvisation for ginormous guitar ensemble, featuring eleven electric guitars: SGC ElecTrio, CKST, Fernando Kabusacki (Buenos Aires) and Fabio Mittino (Milan).
SGC ElecTrio (Steve Ball, Travis Metcalf, Brad Hogg, Dev Ray, Don Box) is a subset of Seattle Guitar Circle, local chapter of the legendary League of Crafty Guitarists playing intricate, polymetric music arranged for electric guitar ensemble. SGC Electrio perform structured improvisation that sounds composed and composed collaboration that sounds improvised.
CSKT, an instrumental quartet focused on improvisation and creative play featuring Chris Gibson, Scott Adams, Ken Jacobsen and Travis Metcalf. CSKT delivers a sonic journey exploring possibilities, in-the-moment composition and eye-opening interplay.
Special guests: Fernando Kabusacki, Argentinian guitar legend who has played / recorded with Phil Manzanera, Charly Garcia, MG Epumer, Tricky, Robert Fripp, Electric Gauchos, Los Gauchos Alemanes, Juana Molina, Damo Suzuki Yoshimi, Otomo Yoshihide, League of Crafty Guitarists, Seiichi Yamamoto, Yuji Katsui, Buffalo Daughter and Marina Fages. Also from Milan, stunt guitarist Fabio Mittino, working with Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft since 1998, one of the most accomplished GC graduates, well-known for his Simple Music for Difficult People series. His right hand is a high-speed, precision machine.
Produced by Tiny Orchestral Moments and Seattle Circle non-profit, this show builds on decades of collaborations in the PNW and all over the world. This orchestral guitar extravaganza will feature a climax including all eleven musicians, improvising intricate, polyrhythmic textures: the power of Branca with the intricacy of Reich.
