Bob Bucko, Jr. will present a new set exploring the textures of the bass clarinet using contact mics. Through sampler manipulation of dog and human heartbeats, dense polyrhythms emerge and mesh with glacial drones and synthesized reeds.

Battalion of Cloudships is a multidisciplinary performance art ensemble of one and many utilizing aspects of theater, comedy, free improvisation, noise, drone, sound and space design to take the audience on journeys both inward and outward.  Each performance is uniquely curated as a piece of a larger whole, a page of script from an ongoing and expanding lore.
