Two Overlapping Works
Luke Martin and Andrew Young
Two overlapping works. Part one is an experiment in relationships, memory, representation and continuity. A small ensemble of performers will begin playing one piece, then two at once, and finally one piece again.
Part two is an improv with noise group sinecure (Andrew Young, Luke Martin, Ben Levinson), exploring sound through no-input feedback, turntables, and laptop performance…
Andrew Young is a composer, improviser, performer, coffee drinker, and open-source enthusiast. He is the founder of the Rise Above Trio, a co-founder of Yawn Tapes, and a co-director of the Wulf. His work with sound ranges in style from sparse, reduced, structured music to searing, improvised, harsh noise. His compositions often utilize algorithmic procedures, indirect notation, imitative polyphony, field recordings, instrumental noise and some notion of choice.

Luke Martin is an experimental composer, musician, and poet, living in Valencia, CA. He received his M.F.A. in Music Composition, studying with Michael Pisaro, from California Institute of the Arts in 2016 and his B.A. in Music and English from Colby College in 2014. His artistic practice is centered on an exploration of silence, neutrality, and blandness in music, and is influenced by composers/thinkers such as John Cage, Morton Feldman, Alvin Lucier, Samuel Beckett, Gertrude Stein, and the Wandelweiser Group. He is currently engaged in an exploration of both the possibilities of notating/performing silence and of the social potential within silence.
