Jason Calhoun / Dura cassette release featuring Zak Forrest

Sunday March 26 * 5pm * TICKETS

The work of ambient composer Jason Calhoun (Philadelphia) speaks for him. Gentle and soft-spoken, it’s no wonder that the Ithaca-born artist has found such a defining yet evolving voice over the course of the past 12 years. With more than 20 releases in their catalogue (via Patient Sounds, Bridgetown Records, Florabelle, Gertrude Tapes, Lily Tapes and Discs, and Dear Life Records), it is clear that Calhoun is not merely a fair-weather ambient dilettante, but a dedicated pillar of the experimental arts scene in both Philadelphia and New York. He is a founding member of the Philadelphia-based instrumental collective Hour, as well as having played in projects such as ylayali and Obody. With a penchant for humming tones and chittering clicks, Calhoun makes deliberate sonic choices that somehow perfectly encapsulate how it feels to be human. jasoncalhoun.info/music

Dura comprises blissed out guitar picking and groovy tremolo drones. Through previous cassette releases on Patient Sounds, Scissor Tail, Atlantic Rhythms, and most recently Aural Canton, Dura is always trying to find a lower way to listen. This show celebrates the release of "Approach" on the always excellent Aural Canyon. You can grip it turn down on March 17th. Featuring visuals by Zak Forrest https://dura.bandcamp.com
