Argyle Torah is the Philadelphia-based duo of Aaron Pond and Thomas Patteson. A friendship spanning the vast terrains of ethnomusicology, organology, and philosophical inquiry
Aaron Pond is a hornist and curator based in Philadelphia. Emerging from a childhood steeped in the rigorous forms of Judaic and classical music, Pond now plays with and transcends musical genres. Since 2014, he has dedicated himself to improvisation and oral composition, developing a voice defined by the kaleidoscopic use of wind instruments, multiphonic singing, and rich tones. Running through all Pond's projects is the belief that ritual is a catalyst for communal connection, a model for a better world to come. You can find him ruling the roost with BORBS! and investigating the web of being with Inverse and Obverse. Aaron serves as President of People’s Music Supply, a presenting, educational, and social non-profit organization dedicated to Creative Music.
Thomas Patteson is a musician, writer, and teacher. He plays keyboard and saxophone in a number of groups, including Argyle Torah (with Aaron Pond) and the 52nd Street Planetary Ensemble. Two upcoming publications are The Museum of Imaginary Musical Instruments (co-authored with Deirdre Loughridge) and an English translation of Ernst Ferand’s 1938 book Die Improvisation in der Musik. Thomas has taught at the Curtis Institute of Music and the University of Pennsylvania.
In finite geometry, the Fano plane (after Gino Fano) is the finite projective plane of order 2. It is the finite projective plane with the smallest possible number of points and lines: 7 points and 7 lines, with 3 points on every line and 3 lines through every point. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane)
In this musical context, Fanoplane is an improvisational project focused on projecting the infinite gifts of the Muse. Fanoplane’s seed was planted in a duo performance by Bob Boilen and Ted Zook. Following that, Bob sat in for a couple of performances with the Lost Civilizations experimental music project, then several performances with Heterodyne. Fanoplane’s performances are unscored, unrehearsed and improvised extemporaneously on the spot.
