SUMMARY:Resonance Arts Presents: Snek Trio + Seldomly Trio
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 8p\, music at 8:30p$15 ADV (link pending\, check back soon!) – $15 DOS plus fees21+Door staff will check ID.Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. \n\n\n\nThis month\, Resonance Arts presents the Snek Trio feauting Reid Kerris\, Janna Lee and Erik Sowa and and Seldomly Trio featuring Jeb Bishop\, Daniel Burke\, Billie Howard\, Thymme Jones\, Katie Klocke\, Julie Pomerleau and Susan Wolf. \n\n\n\nAbout the Performers \n\n\n\nSeldomly TrioThere was a time when we sought out music and sound to fill our every expanse. Now we crave silence and stillness\, though divine chaos occasionally intervenes. This is improvisation with an ear toward the unknown\, reaching out to connect with the ineffable. On this particular night we are Jeb Bishop\, Daniel Burke\, Billie Howard\, Thymme Jones\, Katie Klocke\, Julie Pomerleau and Susan Wolf. File under post-rock/post-jazz/post-Everything/pre-Nothing. This trio is so seldom that it (more than) doubled. \n\n\n\nSnek TrioIn 2018\, vocalist Janna Lee declared the snake her spirit animal\, and formed Snek Trio with Reid Karris and Erik Sowa. What started as free improvised jams evolved into loosely structured songs. Waltzing back and forth between melody and chaos\, Janna’s unrestrained vocals duel with the dissonant yet ethereal textures of Reid Karris’s prepared guitar. Drummer Erik Sowa keeps them both in line with his danceable grooves\, and is the element that makes their sound accessible but still experimental and eclectic. Chicago label Lurker Bias released two of their albums: Battement Développé in 2019 and Everything is Fine Until it Isn’t in 2023

Christopher is a 2025 Illinois Arts Council Creative Catalyst Grant recipient and a 2025 3arts Make a Wave Awardee. In addition to his work as a performer\, Christopher is also proud to be a teaching artist with The People’s Music School of Chicago\, Chicago’s largest tuition free music school. \n\n\n\nVincent Davis \n\n\n\nVincent Davis\, born in Chicago is an internationally acclaimed jazz percussionist\, composer and teacher. The seed of music was planted in Davis early\, growing up in a home filled with the influences of rock\, jazz and gospel. In 1979 Davis left Chicago to attend the Milwaukee Conservatory of Music\, where his love of jazz and skill at drumming further bloomed and flourished. It was here that Davis met his mentor Manty Ellis. Davis trained and studied with Ellis\, primarily focusing on Jazz trap drumming. Since 1985\, he has belonged to groups of Roscoe Mitchell as his Note Factory and its trio with Harrison Bankhead and Jaribu Shahid \, with whom he also toured several times in Europe and Asia and performed at international festivals such as the North Sea Jazz Festival . He is also on Mitchell’s album Songs in the Wind and This Dance is for Steve McCall as well as sound recordings of Jodie Christian and Scott Fields and founded the ensemble Laws of Motion . He also starred with Matthew Shipp \, Arthur Blythe \, David Murray \, Joseph Jarman \, Marilyn Crispell \, Von Freeman \, Hamid Drake \, Corey Wilkes \, Ed Wilkerson and many other musicians. In the field of jazz Davis participated in thirty recording sessions from 1988 to 2009.Dave Rempis \n\n\n\nSaxophonist\, improviser\, and composer Dave Rempis has been an integral part of the thriving Chicago jazz and improvised music scene since 1997.  With a background in ethnomusicology and African studies at Northwestern University\, including a year spent at the University of Ghana\, Rempis burst onto the creative music scene at the age of 22 when he was asked to join the now-legendary Chicago jazz outfit The Vandermark Five. This opportunity catapulted him to notoriety as he began to tour regularly throughout the US and Europe\, an active schedule that he still maintains to the present day.  At the same time\, Rempis began to develop the many Chicago-based groups for which he’s currently known\, including The Rempis Percussion Quartet\, The Engines\, Ballister\, Kuzu\, Rempis/Abrams/Ra + Baker\, and longstanding duos with drummers Frank Rosaly and Tim Daisy.  Other collaborations have included work with Paul Lytton\, Fred Anderson\, Peter Brötzmann\, Hamid Drake\, Tomeka Reid\, Steve Swell\, Elisabeth Harnik\, John Tchicai\, Roscoe Mitchell\, Nate Wooley\, jaimie branch\,  Jeff Parker\, Paal Nilssen-Love\, Nels Cline\, Marshall Allen\, and Joe McPhee.  Rempis has recorded for a long list of labels including Okkadisk\, 482 Music\, Delmark\, Atavistic\, Clean Feed\, Not Two\, Astral Spirits\, Dropa Disc\, Bocian\, Driff\, Relay\, Audiographic\, and Multi-Kulti. In 2013\, he started his own record label\, Aerophonic Records\, to document this ongoing work.  Rempis has been named regularly since 2006 in the annual Downbeat Critics’s Poll as a “rising star” on both alto and baritone saxophone\, a category that he won in 2017.  He’s received funding from the Foundation for Contemporary Art\, Jazz Road Touring sponsored by the Doris Duke and Andrew Mellon Foundations\, the City of Chicago Individual Artist Program\, and was the recipient of a Ragdale Fellowship from the Herb Alpert Foundation.

Rempis’ musical expression draws on a number of touchstones. While heavily improvisational in nature\, his Greek ethnicity\, studies in jazz and ethnomusicology\, an appreciation for the philosophical underpinnings of contemporary composition\, and a love for unforgivingly strident yelps\, screeches\, and squeals that can encompass the ever-evolving state of human depravity all inform his work.

Aside from his work as a musician and composer\, Rempis has worked tirelessly as a presenter.  From 2002-2023\, he curated and produced a weekly series of improvised music at Chicago’s Elastic Arts Foundation\, where he also served as Board President.  He was a founding member of the presenters’ collective Umbrella Music\, and one of the lead producers and curators of its annual festival of improvised music from 2006-2014. He was business manager of the world renowned Pitchfork Music Festival from 2005-2016.  Since 2013 he has worked with the widely respected Hyde Park Jazz Festival\, a community-based event on the South Side of Chicago that showcases Chicago talent to the world.  His current title is Director of Operations and Finance.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobbie Lynn Hunsinger and Tatsu Aoki have worked together for many years. Their latest duet project just received a 4 star review in All About Jazz and was described as “haunting\, poetic\, mesmerizing and steeped in mysticism.” Robbie Lynn led their highly acclaimed Trio project with Joseph Jarman and she was one of the original members of Tatsu’s Miyumi Project. Robbie Lynn and Tatsu have performed at the Chicago World Music Festival\, at the Women Make up Half the Sky Festival\, at the Asian American Jazz Festival with Joseph Jarman\, and at the Chicago Jazz Festival with the Miyumi Project.Robbie Lynn Hunsinger \n\n\n\nFrom recording the “Wooden Prince” with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, playing bluegrass oboe on the John Hartford “Julia Belle” album and playing on the new Greta Van Fleet project\, Robbie Lynn Hunsinger is one of the more versatile musicians you will hear. Her chamber music esthetic polished from years of top notch classical performance\, is apparent in her intensely intimate and sensitive approach to improvised music\, composition\, intermedia performance and interactive installation. Conservatory trained as an oboist\, she is now a multi-instrumentalist improvising on Eastern and Western double reeds\, single reeds\, whistles and avant-fiddle.  She led the highly regarded Aoki Hunsinger Jarman Trio album and is co-leader of a new duet album with Tatsu Aoki.  She is also a regarded visual artist\, puppeteer\, creative technologist\, presenter and educator in responsive media performance\, interactive installation and intermedia composition. She is happy to be back in Chicago.  You can learn more about her at robbielynnhunsinger.comTatsu Aoki \n\n\n\nTatsu Aoki is a leading advocate for the Asian American community\, as well as a prolific composer\, a performer of traditional and experimental music forms\, a filmmaker\, and an educator.

SUMMARY:Cross Modulations Series:  Chad M. Clark + Ishmael Ali
DESCRIPTION:Chad M. Clark is a Chicago-based experimental guitarist known for his innovative approach to sound and improvisation. His work explores the physical properties of the guitar\, using everything from string tension to the resonance of the instrument’s wood to shape immersive sonic textures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIshmael Ali is a dynamic cellist\, guitarist\, improviser\, and composer based out of Chicago. His work centers on exploring sound through improvisation\, experimentation\, composition\, and collaboration\, focusing on a wide array of idiomatic approaches in an ever-changing\, always-growing list of projects informed by diverse influences. \n\n\n\nWhile varying drastically\, a common thread in his work is the juxtaposition of seemingly disparate elements to create something new: both foreign and familiar. \n\n\n\nIshmael is leader or co-leader of a plethora of working projects including Hearsay\, Ensemble Ziraph\, and Akjai. \n\n\n\nHe has also performed or recorded with Kahil El Zabar and the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble\, Avreeayl Ra\, Josh Berman\, Jim Baker\, Fred Jackson\, Ed Wilkerson\, Angel Bat Dawid\, Jason Stein\, and many more. \n\n\n\nIn addition to performing\, Mr. Ali is a co-curator of the Thursday night Improvised Music Series at Elastic Arts\, a co-founder and audio engineer at Marmalade\, a recording and rehearsal space in the West Loop\, and along with close friend and collaborator Bill Harris\, runs the co-operative record label Amalgam Music.
