Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars

Saturday

12–3pm

Roaming between Fifth and Sixth Avenues

This ensemble of mobile electric guitars and percussion.perform original music by composer and director Patrick Grant with choreography by Christopher Caines. The ensemble use their traditional black and turquoise uniforms to define the liminal threshold of their imaginary proscenium in public spaces. In this work, the members will be taking this concept many steps further with changes of costume and color-coded accessories. Using the language of clothes combined with new music and movement, the group will create a narrative performance that communicates ideas of inclusion, and even exclusion, using the language of clothes.

Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars is an ensemble created and led by composer Patrick Grant. The project takes on aspects of spectacle informed by the tradition of urban street bands, avant-garde theater, and ancient music. It takes music out into the world and seeks transformative situations meant to change the conversation.
