Tone List presents is our new ad-hoc program of events responsive to proposals, visiting artists, and artist whims. The first of these is a program of experimental performances that play with stillness or quiet in brave ways. The occasion here is a homecoming show for the duo of contemporary dancer Daisy Sanders and alto saxophonist Josten Myburgh. Having explored rest-as-performance through dance and music together for over five years, the duo recently completed a tour of Aotearoa, refining their practice to be more and more sensitive to the bristling intensity of silence and stillness. Marked by sudden changes in emotive […]

It's amazing. Djuna Lee is the expert of subtle, sustained bowed harmonics and punchy, groove-based avant-jazz riffs alike, known for her work in jalan jalan, Rif Mountain and Pale Ribbons Tossed Into the Dark.
