New London Drone Orchestra Relaunch Extravaganza
Event Description:
The New London Drone Orchestra is celebrating its relaunch by premiering two new pieces: “visible mending (programme)” by conceptual artist and performance poet Jim Whitten, which we will debut with guest musicians Andy Allen, Nat Baldwin, Tom Crean, and Karl Warner, and “Waves & Fish” by NLDO stalwart Tim Wolf. We will also bring back a recent favorite by NLDO director Kip Wilson, which we’ll do in a brand-new way. For the first time ever, the audience will be privy to the graphic scores and recipe-like instructions we play from, which will be projected on a giant screen over the stage. The group has been bringing together experienced musicians and music lovers who are enjoying their first experiences playing with a group to improvise sustained, meditative, layered, gradually evolving, timeless sound since 2017.
Many thanks to the Southeastern Connecticut Cultural Coalition and Furnace Records for their generous support of this event, which is free and open to the public.
