NYC percussionist Chris Corsano returns once again to Garfield Artworks for a solo performance.

So apparently, according to Patrick Burke anyway, once the Singularity emerges, we will be able to copy and paste our consciousness to multiple locations simultaneously. Which would be nice, because we wouldn’t have to choose between so many great new music events happening this weekend. I mean, don’t ask me! Do I look all sciency? In any case, there are once again, several excellent events happening all on Saturday night. You can check out a concert at Future Tenant by Matt Aelmore and Mike Purdue, head over to Garfield to here 8Cylinder et al unleash noise/electroacoustic/improv, or possibly catch the uber-amazing JACK Quartet at the Warhol. (FYI, the JACK concert was nearly sold out at 10 a.m., so emphasis on the possibly.) Is this a great problem to have or what?

Most Wanted Fine Art Gallery
$5, all ages
Doors at 7:30

Ready for an evening of solid-state slugde, noise, dark ambient, space beach minaret, hard-to-hear sounds, finally-found sounds, and born-to-be-bad sounds like freezes, stutters, lags, crashes, slips, a variety of other sound mistakes, and junk noise metal? We knew you were. All to be found at Most Wanted Fine Art Gallery when Toronto’s Notaform joins Pittsburgh artists 8Cylinder, Maenads (Amy Hoffmann’s solo venture), Margaret Cox, and RJ Myato in a concert of experimental music encompassing all of the aforementioned descriptors. And more. Be there.

Tickets: $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Pre-sales available at Sound Cat Records and Mind Cure Records.

DYNAMO SOUND COLLECTIVE AND tcrps PRESENT:

Cut Hands

The newest project of William Bennett of UK noise/industrial legends Whitehouse.

“William Bennett, with or without Whitehouse, is a complicated man. Cut Hands, his latest project, might initially seem like a departure from the harassing Noise-critique of Whitehouse, but there are continuities….Cut Hands is one of the only truly thoughtful responses to the question of where Noise can go next, because it at once breaks with and continues it so profoundly. Afro Noise I is a remarkable record, whichever way you look at it, and it will be interesting to see how Bennett’s dedicated fans react to it. If he no longer says anything out loud, it’s because he doesn’t need to. Menacing, intricate and every bit as cerebrally scarring as any viciously dark synthpolemic, the sound does the work for him.”
