Spencer Yeh, Christine Sun Kim, Ernst Karel, Hildegard Westerkamp, John Giorno, Jules Gimbrone, MSHR, Nate Wooley, Pauline Oliveros, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, and Samita Sinha.

Jazz Right Now reviews the new release from the Daniel Sarid Trio.

Composer Daniel Corral is excited to announce a release show on May 6 at Automata in Los Angeles for his new album Refractions, out May 5 on Populist Records. Refractions is a 45-minute electro-acoustic chamber piece that expands on Corral’s 10 years of exploring the sonic and sculptural possibilities of music boxes. On May 6, Refractions will be performed live by guitarist Jeremy Kerner, the Koan Quartet, and Corral. There will also be a duo set of improvisations and songs based on Persian Mugam and Arabic Maqamat by Rahman Baranghoori (vocals/violin) and Timothy Maloof (violin).
