-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">CHRIS CORSANO<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is a drummer who’s been
operating at the vanguards of free improvisation, avant-rock, and
noise music since the late ’90s. He’s worked with saxophonists
like Joe McPhee, Akira Sakata, Paul Flaherty and Evan Parker;
guitarists such as Jim O’Rourke, Sir Richard Bishop and Nels
Cline; and also one-of-a-kind artists Björk and Jandek. His style
incorporates high energy free improvising, more textural work, and
augmenting the drum kit with everything from cello strings
stretched across the skins to disassembled saxophone parts.
Capable of generating narrative out of permanent ecstasy, Corsano
never ceases to be profoundly affirmative and imposing of his
language, and being an absolute and charismatic virtuoso, he
simultaneously is one of the most noble and generous improvisers
of the few last decades.</p>

class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is a Danish saxophone
player living in Trondheim, Norway. Drawing from the energy of
free jazz, her playing has been described as a head full of ideas,
that she executes to the maximum. With an ongoing study of new
sonic possibilities she uses a broad pallet of techniques,
extending the grammar of the instrument. The last several years
she has been highly active with concerts in Europe, the United
States, and Russia, collaborating with Alan Silva, Tobias Delius,
