John Kameel Farah / Rhys Chatham & Jair-Rohm Parker Wells

Event information

John Kameel Farah
A virtuosic keyboardist simultaneously using piano, synthesizer, computer sequencing and, at times, harpsichord and organ. Farah's performances are epic, symphonic experiences, somewhere between a classical concert hall and an experimental DJ set at a dance club.

Toronto’s NOWs Magazine named his as Best Pianist 2006 for his fusion of renaissance and baroque counterpoint, experimental improvisation, Middle-Eastern texture, ambient minimalism, techno and electro-acoustics.

Rhys Chatham & Jair-Rohm Parker Wells
Rhys Chatham (trumpet, electronics) / Jair-Rohm Parker Wells (bass, electronics) will open for John Kameel Farah performing a set of insightful improvisations.

Rhys Chatham, known primarily as a guitarist and composer for large guitar orchestras of 100 or more musicians, has developed a very unique voice on the trumpet.

Accompanied by Jair-Rohm Parker Wells on electric upright bass and electronics, the duo weave a mesmerizing web of textures and sonic images.
