Soup & Sound Friday, May 15 8pm $20 Suggested KELLEN MILLS: TRYON 292 Lefferts Ave Brooklyn NY TRYON is conceived as a living ensemble—one that brings together New York–based performers and improvisers to realize new and unreleased works composed in Berlin, Germany. At its core, the project seeks to create a dialogue between European experimental composition practices and the deep improvisational traditions of New York, with free improvisation serving as a foundational and unifying element. @kellentryonmills @jono_haff @nick.saia @jamespaulnadien @dafnalula

Excerpt from Evil Joe at Zwickl 132 in Dresden Edith Steyer (DE) – clarinet, effects Vojta Drnek (CZ) – accordion Kellen Mills (US) – bass guitar Evil Joe is a cutting-edge ensemble that was initiated in 2023 in Berlin. It represents a dynamic fusion of clarinet/saxophone, prepared accordion and electric bass, comprising Edith Steyer, Vojta Drnek and Kellen Mills. Our collective musical vision navigates fluidly between composed pieces and completely improvised expressions, exploring nearby the cliches of “The Evil” in music and transforming it into contemporary sound architecture. composed by Evil Joe recorded in Dresden, Nov 28th, 2024 recorded, mixed & mastered by Marcous Albinoni video by Vojta Drnek For the full video check the link in our bio!

Some very nice words about TRYON’s performance at Lochwitz for the Zappa memorial. Even Erik gets compared to Frank. Can’t beat that. We appreciate so much the nice crowd with a huge enthusiasm for music and this is really why we do this in the end. Lochwitz am 07.12.24
