Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.

Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
