Wet Ink Ensemble in San Diego

January 12, 2011 — Mike

From ArtPower:

One of New York’s leading new music groups, members of the Wet Ink Ensemble combine backgrounds in jazz, punk, experimental, electronic, and classical music into an innovative synthesis. Wet Ink’s visit to The Loft will feature music from legends of the experimental avant-garde (Anthony Braxton, Beat Furrer) along with rising stars and emerging voices from the New York new music scene (Sam Pluta, Alex Mincek, Kate Soper, and Ian Power).
