Roulette Presents Collaborative Trio Pulverize the Sound Tonight

Tonight, July 25th at 8pm, Roulette presents Pulverize the Sound, a collaborative trio featuring Peter Evans on trumpet, Tim Dahl on electric bass/electronics, and Mike Pride on drums and percussion. This performance will feature the results of two days of workshopping and co-composing new works for the group. Maximizing the large space of Roulette's acclaimed Art Deco performance space, Pulverize the Sound will incorporate orchestral percussion and sound experimentation within new, long-form compositions of musical and sonic extremity.

The trio has been playing in NYC since 2010 and works towards a relentlessly experimental approach to composition, improvisation and timbre and plays pieces written and arranged by all three members. The music sits well outside of any recognizable genre, and includes but is not limited to dense, precisely executed scores, harsh walls of sound, silence, improvisation and repetitive loops. Pulverize the Sound have formed an aesthetic divorced from the usual practical considerations of a band remarkable even for its three members.

Roulette - one of New York City's premiere venues for experimental music for over 33 years - has reopened bigger and better than ever. Located in a newly renovated 1920s Art Deco concert hall in Downtown Brooklyn, the new Roulette features two levels of seating for up to 400 people (600 standing), an expanded multi-channel sound system, projection screen for film and multi-media events, state-of-the-art lighting system, modular stage, and a specially designed floor to accommodate dance. Teamed with bold new programming, the new Roulette promises to be one of the most exciting places in New York City - if not the country - to experience adventurous music and art.

Tickets are $15/10, and available at http://roulette.org/events/pulverize-the-sound-peter-evanstim-dahlmike-pride/.
