Loma Editions Presents: An Evening of Experimental Sound With Jakob Heinemann and Friends
Loma Editions presents an evening of experimental music, outsider sounds, and improvised performance. The concert features avant garde composer Jakob Heinemann, who will perform a solo piece for double bass and electronics and then be joined by musicians Ana Luisa Díaz de Cossío, Natalia Merlano Gómez, and Sivan Silver-Swartz for an improvisational ensemble. Electroacoustic sound artist and Loma Editions founder T Putnam Hill opens the show.
Show starts at 7 p.m. Suggested donation is $10.
JAKOB HEINEMANN is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist who works in the areas of sound art, free improvisation, avant garde composition, photography, and acoustic ecology, with a focus on sonic communion as a means of cultural exchange and solidarity. A double bass player with roots in Chicago’s free jazz community, Jakob has released music on Clean Feed Records, Ruination Recording Co, Party Perfect, Aerophonic Records, and his own imprint, Kashe Editions.
ANA LUISA DÍAZ DE COSSÍO is an improviser drawn to the quiet thresholds of daily life. She works with the violin as a partner, with friction-based sounds, with the mundane and the overlooked, and with found materials and unstable textures, allowing sound to emerge from what is already present.
NATALIA MERLANO GÓMEZ is a musician, singer, improviser, creator, and teacher born in Colombia in 1987. Her interests include folk music worldwide, especially from Latin American countries, academic contemporary music, and experimental music. She is also interested in explorations around video and photography.
SIVAN SILVER-SWARTZ makes experimental music through notated composition, installation, and performance. His music is frequently informed by counterpoint, tuning, memory, the transmission and aesthetics of notation, the political limitations of art, and the need to engage in organizing outside of the artistic sphere. He also is a devoted student of the 11-course lute and its French Baroque repertoire.
T PUTNAM HILL is a musician and artist who works with various sonic materials—primarily field recordings and other incidental sounds, guitar, digital processing, and feedback systems—to produce shifting auditory environments that engage with notions of altered place, space, and fiction. He also runs Loma Editions.
