Referred to as a “musical power couple” in The New York Times, (2017) the music of composer-pianist Adegoke Steve Colson and composer-vocalist Iqua Colson focuses on many facets of the human experience. Early members of the famed AACM, their critically acclaimed performances and recordings illuminate social issues, and have featured such innovators as Reggie Workman, David Murray, Tyshawn Sorey, Joseph Jarman, Oliver Lake, Tomeka Reid and Henry Threadgill, as well as master artists of other disciplines including dancer/choreographer Savion Glover, writer/activist Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones) and dancer/actress Carmen de Lavallade.

Iqua worked with tenor saxophone titan Fred Anderson for several years in her early career in a group that included George Lewis, Hamid Drake and Douglas Ewart. Her compositions usually center around vocal performance.

Ade is a decorated composer who has written for large and small ensembles and received several honors and commissions supporting his work in music composition. He has worked and recorded with such artists as Baikida Carroll, Butch Morris and David Murray. His works for small ensembles have been recorded by such greats as bassist Richard Davis, composer and trumpeter Hannibal and most recently by Andrew Cyrille on his ECM Release, “The News.”

In 2024, The Northwestern University Libraries purchased The Adegoke Steve Colson and Iqua Colson Archives, including scores, compositions, and artifacts relative to the first 50 years of their varied and prolific careers: an honor, as they are now documented at Ade’s alma-mater, in one of the largest and most venerated music collections in the United States, known for unmatched strength in contemporary music. Adegoke Steve Colson is a Steinway Artist.

Dirt Frequencies @ Soup & Sound: a deep dive into soiled sounds with Tessa Brinckman, Scott L. Miller, and Jane Rigler 

6:30 PM - Social Hour (enjoy food, drink, company)

$20 (includes food & drinks)

This performance will take place in Upper Washington Heights, NYC
(near W 191st St Subway #1 Train)

Address will be provided with ticket purchase

TESSA BRINCKMAN and JANE RIGLER: flutes, electronics, and miscellanea
SCOTT L. MILLER: Kyma and Onde resonator

Dirt Frequencies is a collaboratively composed, concert-length work. It combines electroacoustic music, text, and Deep Listening®, inviting the audience into the sonic environment, responding to their present body, dreams, and imagination.

Based on the growing processes of a garden, this concert is part of an on-going series that develops over time. Sound sources being dispersed will emerge from present sounds as well as those we’ve collected from the earth and all the microbial organisms living in the soil. We consider all the bodies that release and absorb sound—the land, the water, the air, plants, and human-made materials, and our bodies—as sound sources. Water is the tissue that connects us between these processes.

Interdisciplinary flutist/composer TESSA BRINCKMAN has been praised for her “virtuoso elegance” (Gramophone). Originally from Aotearoa/New Zealand, her work honors synesthesia, dialect, innate meter, and collaboration. Tessa co-directs the bi-coastal duo, Caballito Negro, commissioning ground-breaking work for flute and percussion.

JANE RIGLER, flutist/composer/educator/organizer and Deep Listening® facilitator, explores the complexities of language (of the body, dream, landscape) through the flute, electronics, voice, and movement. A former interdisciplinary music Professor at the University of Colorado, she continues to perform world-wide, organizing sound spas, and arts-wellness events.

Minnesota composer/improviser SCOTT L. MILLER’s music is defined by an experimental aesthetic, collaborative approaches to composition and performance, and the use of electronic sound. In addition to being a Professor of music at St. Cloud State University, he is Director of SEAMUS Records.

This event is co-presented with Ephemera Obscura and Anti-Social Music

CHRIS JONAS DESERTS QUARTET

CHRIS JONAS reeds, compositions, video
THOMAS HEBERER cornet
CYRUS CAMPBELL bass
ANDREW DRURY drum set

soup at 7:30, music at 8


Music from the Deserts is a project of Santa Fe-based composer/sax player Chris Jonas, featuring Thomas Heberer on cornet, bassist Cyrus Campbell and drummer Andrew Drury.

Deserts explores music written in complete solitude during winter camping over 3 years during the Pandemic, created in Arizona's Barry Goldwater Missile Range adjacent to the Trump Border Wall that cuts across Arizona's granite Tinajas Altas. This collection of music is in the midst of touring worldwide in 2023-25. Jonas’s music contains some elements of jazz while mixing elements that are quirky, delicate, weirdly groovy, polyphonic, and a mixture of the disjointed and melodic.

Biographies
