An Evening of Play: Performances and Improvised Collaborations by Musicians, Dancers, Poets and Visual artists

The goal of the night is to strike a balance between the focus of scheduled performances and the risk-laden adventure of collaborative free improvisation. The night promises to be a churning mix of creative energies.

There will surely be plenty to inspire, perplex, annoy and amaze any of you who are able to make it out that night.

aleatoric tinkerbot: Live at Elixir Cafe Bar, Jan. 24th

aleatoric tinkerbot is Rick Tuazon and Jerry Gordon's playing as a duo.

Free-form experimentation while the muses of Improvisation, Noise and Chance pump their nectar into the boys' veins.

If you heard them play at the Eat the Weak film event a couple years ago, you got a swig of what they'll be pouring. If you didn't, this is your chance to drink deep.

Elixer is Guido's new bar/cafe. He is working his magic atop the stove, so get your taste buds ready. Those of you who remember the vibe of Guido's cafe Agave will have deja vu all over again.
