From The New Yorker:

“The godmother of American experimentalism (Pauline Oliveros) headlines an evening at the essential Brooklyn center for avant-garde music. Her fellow-travelers in improvisatory electro-acoustic tones include not only the pianist David Arner and the sound artist Doug Van Nort but also a thing called FILTER—the Freely Improvising, Learning, and Transforming Evolutionary Recombination system, a machine that reacts to the work of its human colleagues.”

This electro-acoustic improvising quartet features three humans (piano, accordion synthesizer, greis/electronics) and one machine which reacts to its partners, transforming their sound in a musical dialogue.  This set will feature each of the three possible human-machine duos, followed by the full quartet.
