Burkhardt + Behzadi ~ Hypercube World Premieres (New Date!)

Hypercube presents an evening of premieres by Rick Burkhardt and Ashkan Behzadi, two distinct voices who have played an outsized role in shaping instrumental music of our time.

Tuesday, April, at 7:30 PM (doors 7pm) at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music (Benzaquen Hall).

Rick Burkhardt’s Feed explores continuities and discontinuities in our age of mechanical utterance. Undercurrents, and overcurrents, of past utterance-shaping-tools feed today’s communicative technologies (which now pride themselves on “disruption”). Nonetheless, some utterances, past and present, strive to escape their shapes.

Subtle shifts and resonant colors unfold gradually in Ashkan Behzadi’s afaint:afar, inviting close listening and a heightened awareness of sonic detail.

The haunting, a fragmented, Samuel Beckett, echoing throughout:

till afar
taper faint
the eyes
in the dead still

Join the members of Hypercube in Cary Hall as they perform these exhilarating, carefully crafted works, each inhabiting distinct terrains of the saxophone, electric guitar, piano and percussion, while weaving together a complete evening.
