MISSION STATEMENT:
We are an Open Mic Series for performers who want to test out new, exciting, and overall experimental material in front of a live audience.
We run completely independent, booking, publicizing, set-up/breakdown, hosting, engineering, and recording.
Our main goal is to make the show comfortable for the performers to get the best from their performance for the audience.
WHAT IS EXPERIMENTAL:
Something that has never been done before, never been seen, or heard before and no one; especially the performer is sure what the results will be.
OUR ACTS:
Typically, we feature composers acting as performers to test out material. Small set-ups, usually electronic, manipulated for solo or very small ensembles in a twelve minute set. More often than not we see experimental electronic instruments performing improvised material, or electro-acoustic manipulation, and occasionally spoken word art and extended technique vocals.
We welcome all types of genres and performance with the only rule that it MUST be engaging for the audience. It has to have an element of experimentation and the results should intend to be entertaining for an audience.
