This Sunday, August 15 at 7 p.m., join Q2 for 5 consecutive hours of mind-bending, internationally-flavored sounds from this most quintessential New York New Music happening: the Bang on a Can Marathon from the World Financial Center Winter Garden.
Sample traditional Kyrgyz pieces for flute and percussion in the same breath as explorations in 3-channel, 1-bit electronics by Tristan Perich; Gamelan Galak Tika performing Evan Ziporyn as well as the JACK Quartet presenting music of an iconoclastic New Music rockstar of the recent past, Iannis Xenakis.
Also, don't miss a special 10 p.m. presentation of Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe's hour-length Shelter, as performed by Brad Lubman's Signal ensemble.
Were you at the 2010 Marathon? If so, are there any pieces that you absolutely want Q2 to share with fellow listeners this Sunday?

I wasn't ready for this piece that Sunday afternoon, & the dark, psychedelic connection it made in my mind ~ listening ~>
It moved me into another space
I'd love to hear a good recording of the Vernon Reid performance as during the show it was difficult to hear the words due to the acoustics of the space.
Since you're already airing Shelter (thank you!), really love to hear the Spring Falls Back collab (Mira Calix and BOAC All-Stars) if the recording turned out; otherwise, Snakes and Ladders or Professor Bad Trip, or Tire Fire (the Evan Zipornyn/Gamelan Galak Tika piece) were all fantastic.
