Auricle New Music Series welcomes Dani Dobkin and Matt Sargent, Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 7:30pm. Free admission, donations encouraged.
Dani Dobkin and Matt Sargent are traveling in support of their new album, Bend (Waveform Alphabet). The New York duo began in 2020 as a weekly Zoom call between the two artists at the height of the global pandemic. In 2021, they gave their first in-person show in Brooklyn and have since continued a musical conversation across many concerts and tours.
Beginning with a phrase from Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons, "Act so that there is no use in a center," the improvising duo delights in the exploration of their contrasting sensibilities. Their music has been described as “strangely emotional, gossamer-like tapestry of sounds, from barely audible phrases to saturating swells of noise. It all sounds almost like an American primitive guitar record retrieved from far in the future.” (Antonio Poscic, Future Music)
