Boston: Experimental Music @ Mobius
Monday September 21st, 2009
8pm :: Admission $12

Mobius Presents:
Experimental Music Performance
with two master trombonists:
Tom Plsek (MAG), Brian Allen
& contrabassist extraordinaire John Voigt

Trombonist and composer Brian Allen "brings a burst of energy to contemporary creative music" (AllAboutJazzNY). Trombone explorer Tom Plsek "has deconstructed the idea of the trombone so completely one marvels at how he keeps finding new purposes for the instrument" (Ted Bale, Boston Herald). "In [John Voigt's] hands the bass turns into a real talker, a mythical creature, a mouthpiece for the history of man. Voigt's very personal musical metaphors should not be missed" (The Improviser).

About Mobius:
Mobius (est. 1977) is a non-profit, artist-run organization, whose mission is to generate, shape and test experimental art. The members of the organization believe an effective strategy for supporting this art is to establish grounds that build relationships among fellow artists. Mobius is committed to structuring environments that foster projects incorporating a wide range of disciplines. This approach sets in motion situations where the artist's impact can be seen locally, nationally and internationally. Constructing art initiatives outside accepted frameworks and encouraging animated discourse with the public are fundamental to Mobius.

Founded by Marilyn Arsem in 1977, Mobius is known for incorporating a wide range of the visual, performing, and media arts into innovative live performance, video, installation and intermedia works. Mobius has produced hundreds of original works that have attained critical acclaim in Boston, nationally and internationally. Works created at Mobius have been presented throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Mobius is funded by the Boston Cultural Council, a municipal agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency; the Oedipus Foundation; by an award for artistic excellence from the Tanne Foundation, and generous private support.
