Carnegie Hill Concerts Presents Gladstone Deluxe

2024 SEASON

Join us for our 2024 season, "Intersections, " as we explore together how music intertwines with key dimensions of our world–technology, mental health, and identity.

“Budding Permutations”

Inspired from navigating the beginning stages of my dreadlock journey, this collection of music is born from feelings of spiritual nascence. As something that’s been a part of humanity since our inception, the locking process unfolds on a primordial timescale, and has everything to teach about the true natures of form, growth and conflict. “Budding Permutations” is a reflection on shifts in energy I’ve experienced thus far and a projection of dreams for future chapters.

Gladstone Deluxe (they/he) is a New York-based artist working with percussion and electronics. Their work takes form in recorded music, installations, and performances.

As a percussionist, Gladstone is interested in how conceptions and politics of time are embodied and can bleed into the social topography of a culture through rhythmic performance. As a technologist, they develop systems for the augmentation and amplification of percussive messages. His experimental approach towards composition and interface design is a collision of the spiritual and the cybernetic.

In 2023, Gladstone released music with Black Techno Matters, is / was, DETOUR, Ongoing Box and Miscellaneous Records. Films that Gladstone scored were shown at the British Film Institute, a STARZ television premiere, the Hawai’i International Film Festival, and more. He's appeared in galleries and nightclubs across the East Coast and Midwest, including The Warhol Museum, Wallach Art Gallery, Chashama, and the Carnegie Museum of Art, with more to come in 2024, including appearances on the West Coast and a collaboration with Moog Synthesizers. Gladstone also keeps busy as the timbales player for Las Mariquitas, which was recently featured in Rolling Stone. Gladstone holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, an MFA from Columbia University, and is pursuing a Ph.D in Music Composition at Princeton University.
