Auricle New Music Series welcomes Friend, a new project by Andrew Fitzpatrick and Jon Mueller, Tuesday, October 29, 2024 at 7:00pm. Tickets $10 general admission or $5 student/ALL member in advance online, or $15 for everyone at the door.
Andrew Fitzpatrick and Jon Mueller previously shared the stage as members of the group Volcano Choir. As Friend, the duo explore a new direction, using acoustic drums, percussion, and synthesis to create rhythmic, textural, and thought-provoking music that shares elements of folk music in its performance and modern electronic music in its sound.
Fitzpatrick is a musician from Madison, Wisconsin. As a member of the bands Bon Iver, Volcano Choir, and All Tiny Creatures, he has recorded and performed extensively, including appearances at venues and festivals such as the Sydney Opera House and Montreux Jazz Festival. He has collaborated with many artists in many contexts, and has produced a body of solo work that incorporates synthesizers, guitars, field recordings, samplers, and electronic processing.
Renowned percussionist and drummer Jon Mueller is celebrated for his uncommon technique, rigor and virtuosity. Notable solo performances have taken place at the Guggenheim Museum, New Museum, Issue Project Room, SXSW, Big Ears Festival, Hopscotch Fest, and Witching Hour Festival. Beyond his solo work, Mueller has performed and recorded with Olivia Block, Who is the Witness?, Mind Over Mirrors, Volcano Choir, Collections of Colonies of Bees, and Pele.
