A music series that features composers and improvisers dedicated to exploring and experimenting with musical styles and forms. Generally the instruments are modulated by human touch (not electrical current), head sounds are explored, and at times poetry is vocalized. Call it chamber punk, free-bop jazz, backcountry noise survivalizing, sonic change exchange, etc. Group after-jams usually ensue.
Holidays for the Future events (mostly) occur on the first Saturday of every month, are hosted by The Home Of and curated by Edward Schneider.
The events are free to the public and include free drinks and snacks. If you would like to attend this or any other event at The Home Of please send an email to contact@thehomeof.org and we will provide you with the address of the space.
