An absolutely thrilling trio performance last night led by Mai Sugimoto with Joshua Abrams and Isaiah Spencer at Woodland Pattern . We couldn't have had a more inspired conclusion to our spring season of Alternating Currents Live than we witnessed last night. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support. @woodlandpattern #alternatingcurrentslive #sugifoto #joshuaabrams #isaiahspencer
On Sunday, May 3rd, at 7pm Alternating Currents Live at Woodland Pattern in Milwaukee presents Mai Sugimoto Trio featuring:
Mai Sugimoto—alto saxophone and flute
Joshua Abrams—bass
Isaiah Spencer—drums
"The trio manages to channel something ineffable in the recording
situation, letting feel and groove take over. This is community music
that is more about connection than virtuosity—which is surely present,
but never ostentatiously so. . . . It conveys that singular joy of
good improvised music, when it’s not about ripping solos but group
unity. Naturally, I’m advising you all to pay close attention to Sugimoto from here on out."
—from Peter Margasak, a long-time music journalist who has also
programmed the weekly Frequency Series at Constellation in Chicago
since 2013, on the trio’s Sunlight Filtering Through Leaves (Asian
Improv Records, 2024).#woodlandpattern #alternatingcurrentslive #sugifoto
A sunny morning for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day yesterday with a few clouds on and off, ideal for discovering this mysterious artifact out by the garage. #worldwidepinholephotographyday #pinholephotography
A mesmerizing performance last night for Alternating Currents Live featuring Emily Rach Beisel's solo works for bass clarinet, piccolo, voice, and at times unexpectedly orchestral electronics. @beisel_m_@woodlandpattern #alternatingcurrentslive
Siggy, guarding my camera, takes Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day very seriously (though he looks a bit drowsy).#worldwidepinholephotographyday #pinholephotography #ontheroadwithsigmund
Alternating Currents Live presents Emily Rach Beisel this Sunday, April 27, at 7pm at Woodland Pattern in Milwaukee.
Emily Rach Beisel is a Chicago-based improviser, composer, educator, curator, and woodwind specialist whose work is celebrated for its visceral intensity and innovative blend of techniques. Beisel’s 2023 solo album, Particle of Organs, has been described as “heavy stuff, sounds retrieved from the deeper places—the underworlds, the lightless subterranea . . . a raw, abrasive, oppressive, and thrilling journey.” (aJazzNoise)@woodlandpattern @#alternatingcurrentslive
