John King

William Hooker’s Convergence: Live In China, featuring John King, is out now on LP, CD, and digital formats. Recorded live at the B10 Festival in Shenzhen, China, the album captures an exhilarating hour-long performance driven by deep improvisation and the duo’s intuitive connection. Hooker’s thunderous drumming meets King’s searing guitar work in a set that moves fluidly between intensity and restraint. The CD and digital editions include three bonus performances not available on the vinyl release. Order at orgmusic.com (link in bio) or find a copy at your local indie record store.

MONDAY FEB 16th DOORS 7:30 SHOW 8:00PM $15 Leyya Mona Tawil & John King Jack Langdon Jennifer Gersten DM for address, LIC near 39th Ave stop. https://withfriends.events/event/alwNUdKR/john-king-leyya-mona-tawil-jack-langdon-jennifer-gersten/ King & Tawil have been in action as a duo since 2020. John King is a composer, violist, guitarist, curator and labor activist. His musical output focuses on spatialized, chance-determined and spontaneously generated sonic structures, for chamber ensembles as well as for free-improvisational group formations. Leyya Mona Tawil is an artist and cultural activist operating internationally. She works in voice, electronics, and hybrid performance practices. She is Syrian and Palestinian, engaged in the world as such. Jack Langdon is an Ojibwe composer of experimental music. His work investigates incompleteness, indifference, mimesis, stagnation, and material brevity. As a performer, his mediums are the pipe organ and the Ojibwe wooden flute, the bibigwan. Jack will be playing a solo bibigwan set which focuses on mimesis of natural sounds, disjunct phrasing, and silence. Jennifer Gersten is a violinist and writer from New York City. Formerly a tenured violinist in Helsingborg Symfoniorkester (Sweden), she instigates avant-garde and improvised music projects in the US and Scandinavia. Her improvised work is motivated by the notion of what the violin could do if it only tried. She will play an acoustic solo set that does not unduly harm the violin. see you there.
