WAYWARD MUSIC SERIES
Chapel Performance Space at Good Shepherd Center
4th Floor, 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N, Seattle 98103 (corner N 50th St. in Wallingford)
Every month, Nonsequitur and a community of like-minded presenters and artists offer ten concerts of adventurous music in an informal yet respectful all-ages setting: contemporary classical, free improvisation, the outer limits of jazz, electronic music, microtonal/new instruments, sound art, and other extraordinary sonic experiences.

No UFO’s + Karl Fousek + Visible Cloaks
Fri. August 7, 8 PM; $5 – $15 at the door

An evening of varied electronic music. No UFO’s (Vancouver) has produced a series of acclaimed works that borrow from Godard films, Pop Art, concrète and dub; Karl Fousek (Montreal) is an electronic composer whose recent work has focused exclusively on analog voltage controlled modular synths; Visible Cloaks (Portland) is a duo that investigates both inverted pop structures and long-form sound collage in a fluid mix.

Odd Partials & Marcin Paczkowski
Sat. August 8; 8 PM; $5 – $15 at the door

Odd Partials is the recently arrived Texas duo of clarinetist Rachel Yoder and composer/computer musician Greg Dixon.
