Description
Co/Function is a recurring monthly event series focused on live electronic music & visuals. The audience is invited to experience an exercise in experimental improvisation that is rarely seen in the dance music world. Creators & conductors Brian Thabault & TJ McAu curate a constantly rotating cast of up to 8 musicians to collaborate & improvise live. The participants are sometimes familiar friends, or have perhaps never met. Either way, there is no rehearsal. The individual artists are linked together by a common midi clock, using DJ mixers to blend together synths, drum machines, traditional instruments and their own vocals. Setting up in the center of the main room at H0l0, they navigate with their eyes and ears through a sonic landscape of bleeps, bloops, booms & baps. Riding the waves of euphoric beat, they explore the eternal loop, bringing life to each new song in the moment, along with the movement of the crowd. The nature of the artistic approach is informed by jazz greats & jam bands, all ran through the filter of our shared electronic music language.
