Sometime in the window of 5-10 years ago, @thomasmilovac and I toured up the east coast from Florida under the moniker the Hamilton-Milovac Duo. I seem to remember it being January and snowy af with a blizzard in Philly that shut the city down and cancelled our show there. This photo is from somewhere not snowy along that route, that also had a large cow.
Tonight 12/11 we reunite at @atthediningroom Winter Park presenting fresh but well aged improvisational music. Music at 8, DM for address.

SAT. 12.20: Sean Hamilton + Jayve Montgomery / Klimchak
“One of those holding the torch of progression of drumming” (Adam Arritola/Miami Psych Fest), Sean Hamilton is a percussionist, composer, improviser, and audio engineer whose creative practice focuses on moments, juxtapositions, and sonic opportunities. Primarily working in hybrids of the improvised and the composed, his work is rooted in avant-garde and experimental music, free jazz/improvisation, electronic and electroacoustic music, noise, punk and metal, design and photography, and sound art. His work often exists through performance, composition, multimedia projects, and the meshing of analog and digital mediums.
Multi-instrumentalist Klimchak is known for his compositions and performances for dance, theater and live solo performances. These usually incorporate improvisation & playing of over 100 instruments in a single show. He’s received many awards & honors for his work, including the 2009 Loridans Artist Award, often called “Atlanta’s MacArthur Genius Award.”
Recently, Klimchak has been performing solo shows featuring a unique percussion instrument called the Marimba Lumina. Only about 100 of this very rare instrument were made. The Lumina was created by legendary synth inventor Don Buchla.
With the ever increasing ability to be anywhere and everywhere else, now remains an elusive destination. Reconciling the past with the future, JayVe Montgomery’s work is time traveling to the pre(-)sent, the gift of now. His work reveals his adherence to improvisation and chance as a way to explore evolutionary learning, dreams, democratic polylogue and unintended subjective meaning through randomized being.
