Sunday, April 17 * 7pm * MASKS, VAX REQUIRED * TICKETS
Rhizome and Tiny Vinyl Shop present
Tracy Lisk, Nik Francis, and Nate Scheible, solo and ensemble percussion
The superb improvising percussionist, Tracy Lisk, comes down from Philadelphia to perform a concert of solo percussion at Rhizome. Percussionists Nik Francis and Nate Scheible will open the evening with solo sets, and all three will perform together for the finale.
Tracy Lisk is a drummer, painter, and curator who resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although she has a reputation as a percussionist, a large amount of her creative output has been visual art, which has been a strong source for her free compositions on the drum set. Ms. Lisk’s history as a painter and background in Brazilian percussion inform the substance of her improvisations which contain references to rhythmic structures while maintaining a fluid, suspended continuity.
In addition to solo performances, she has performed with the London Improvisors Orchestra, and collaborates frequently with Butoh dancer Ryuzo Fukuhara (JP, SI), Andrea Pensado (US), Mia Zabelka (AU) and Gary Hassay (US).
