Since the 1970s Erhard Hirt is one of the foremost innovators of the experimental guitar in Germany. His first solo CD “Zwischen den Pausen” was published in 1982 on Germany’s premier lable for experimental music and avant jazz, FMP. In the last 50 years he has played on every major experimental and contemporary music festival in Europe, and has influenced generations of European guitar players who look for sounds that are not expected from a guitar. http://www.erhardhirt.de
Erhard Hirt and Hans Tammen have played together for almost 30 years, collaborating regularly with fellow guitarists Nick Didkovsky, Keith Rowe, Mike Cooper, Douglas Repetto, Roger Kleier, and Hainer Wörmann to form their “Extended Guitar Quartet.” For this concert they will be again joined by Nick Didkovsky! + we added a second set with SHOKO NAGAI and MONICA ROCHA!

She is best known these days as a member of the fabulous psychadelic/cumbia/pop group Meridian Brothers which has been touring North America and Europe extensively in recent years (Big Ears, Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, etc.). She has been the powerhouse organizer behind the vital Ladistritofonica musicians’ collective in Bogotá for years.
Both ALEJANDRO FLOREZ and RICARDO GALLO have lived in New York for over two decades and have been combining free improvisation, adventurous composition, and Colombian folkloric forms many projects involving artists, musicians, films, bands, and etc. including work with Ray Anderson, Cecilia Vicuña, Pheeroan akLaff, Los Aliens, Amirtha Kidambi, Lukas Ligeti, Peter Evans, Sarah Bernstein, Michael Foster, and others.
