About the Musicians

Known for their long-standing residencies at Hotti Biscotti and the Beat Kitchen, Extraordinary Popular Delusions has been a stalwart of the Chicago improvised/new music scene since its 2005 formation. Named after a 19th-century Scottish sociological study of market bubbles and manias, Extraordinary Popular Delusions personnel will probably involve some combination of Jim Baker (piano, ARP synthesizer, viola), Brian Sandstrom (double bass, electric guitar, trumpet), Steve Hunt (drums, percussion), and Edward Wilkerson Jr. (reeds).

Ex Ibex
Ex Ibex is a new/creative music ensemble that brings together 5 Chicago performers contributing their unique and personal approaches to group improvisation and spontaneous composition. Their distinctive sound – atmospheric, gritty, spacious and rhythmically driving -.is informed and inspired by influences including the storied Chicago music scene, contemporary classical, rock, funk, world musics and more. Flowing from one sonic space to the next, Ex Ibex approaches its performance without expectation, leaving the listener constantly surprised with what comes next.

Ex Ibex is Dheeru Pennepalli (guitart), David Keller (cello/keyboards), Maria Elena Hernandez (a. saxophone), Jeff Chan (winds) and Greg Diethrich (drumset/percussion)
