Jerry Kaba + Stefano Daddi at The Gatherings

Jerry Kaba performs regularly making experimental music using modular synthesizers. Known widely as host of Modular on the Spot events in Philadelphia (the growing mostly monthly modular synthesizer series of outdoor free picnics worldwide) his own music is entirely a free-form practice of spontaneous composition, realized only in the act of playing. Every project is approached with a different set of instruments and techniques, as Kaba constantly challenges himself and his audience to go further. From his remarkable 2025 performance for The Gatherings Concert Series arose the benefit album The Gatherings 10 May 2025.

Stefano Daddi makes experimental music with modular synthesizers and performs regularly.
For the past several years he has co-hosted Modular on the Spot events in Philadelphia - a monthly modular synthesizer outdoor free picnic series. His music asks the listener to ponder an expression of timbre made in electronic sound.

This event will also to include the video artistry of Neil Cippon and Samara Talkin.
Generating projections of original, ever-evolving graphics onto the interior features of the St Mary's staging space, their visual output will align with the improvised live musical expressions conjured by the musicians.
