Summer is almost over but there is a wide range of noise and experimental shows happening this week. If you would prefer to receive these weekly show announcements, please subscribe at newsletter.seattlenoise.org.
Austin Larkin + Susie Kozawa & Leanna Keith
Austin Larkin is a composer primarily working with violin, bells, and sirens. His performance and practice is informed by research into dimensions of vibrating bodies. Larkin’s solo violin performance situates the violin as an instrument to accentuate space, rather than to fill space.
He will be joined with a duo performance from Susie Kozawa (found sounds) and Leanna Keith (improvised flute).
