Event description
Eli Winter is a writer, composer, and self-taught guitarist based in Chicago. Reaching across technical styles and musical idioms, Winter has developed a practice rooted in listening and collaboration, drawing inspiration from luminaries like fellow Houstonian Pauline Oliveros, his compatriots across Chicago’s jazz scene and beyond, and a host of guitar heroes. In his evolving work Ghost Notes, Winter explores new compositional methods, collaging and sculpting a bank of samples reaching back across years of recordings created with friends and fellow travelers, from studios to living rooms. This ensemble performance in Bond Chapel assembles a group of musicians who appeared on the original recordings, playing through the new works live as compositions for the first time and taking them as launchpads for further improvisation.
Featuring:
Eli Winter – electric guitar, piano
Sam Wagster – pedal steel guitar
Tyler Damon – drums, percussion
Andrew Scott Young – upright bass
Gerrit Hatcher – tenor saxophone
David Sexton – violin, bowed instruments
Co-presented with Experimental Sound Studio.
