Brandt Brauer Frick

A special evening of new music and film with composer, drummer and filmmaker Daniel Brandt. Alongside the French contemporary music ensemble, Ensemble 0, performing the latest work by Tristan Perich. Daniel Brandt, of Brandt Brauer Frick, third full-length solo album, Without Us, is set to be released on Erased Tapes and is accompanied by a short film with the same title, filmed in Athens in 2023. The full project – album, film, and live performance – culminates in an “apocalyptic rave” that explores our collective anxieties and challenges in a multi-dimensional way. French contemporary music ensemble Ensemble 0 opens the evening with new expansive project work by the New York-based composer Tristan Perich. Open Symmetry is about precision and energy – a piece that slowly develops, with musical fragments lengthening, harmonies merging, overlapping and washing over like soothing waves. 'Tristan Perich’s [Open Symmetry] is stunningly simple in all its complexity.' The Wire This concert may contain strobe lighting effects and haze. End time for this performance will be added nearer to the event date.
