Elliott Sharp performs The Hidden Variable, solo electroacoustic music performed on 8-string guitarbass with electronics. In addition, Sharp will read from his upcoming book Feedback: Translations From The IrRational which will be published by Wesleyan University Press, Nov. 2025.
ELLIOTT SHARP leads SysOrk, Orchestra Carbon, Terraplane, and Tectonics and pioneered use of fractal geometry, chaos theory, and genetics in musical composition and interaction. Sharps collaborators have included Radio-Sinfonie Frankfurt; singer Debbie Harry; Ensemble Modern; qawaali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan; blues legends Hubert Sumlin and Pops Staples; pianist Cecil Taylor; multimedia artists Christian Marclay and Pierre Huyghe; and Bachir Attar, leader of the Master Musicians Of Jajouka.
Composer-accordionist Ben Richters just-intonation accordion solo Portent of Laramidia creates an alien tonal landscape alternating among timbral fluctuations, melody and drone, and gradual resolution of shimmering, pulsing microtonal intervals. Portent of Laramidia is featured on new 2CD Aurogeny, an epic symphony of accordion mastery (Noel Gardner, Buzz), "consistently fascinating ... pulsating, scintillating ... with momentous results" (Julian Cowley, The Wire Top 10 Albums of 2024), the follow-up to 2017s Panthalassa: Dream Music of the Once and Future Ocean, hailed by Stephen Smoliar (The Rehearsal Studio) as likely to offer a profound impact on the very nature of listening. Ben Richter is also the director of Ghost Ensemble and has collaborated with Loadbang, House On Fire, SEM Ensemble, Jeonghyeon Joo, Phill Niblock, Pauline Oliveros, and UMass-Amhersts Y3K and Futuring Lab exhibitions.
