SBM16 (Day 1) @ Andy Arts Center

  • Andy Arts Center 3000 Fenkell Avenue Detroit, MI, 48238 United States (map)

Join us for Day 1 (Thursday) of Strange Beautiful Music at Andy Arts Center.

Doors 6pm; Performances 7-10pm

Celebrating our 16th(!) year of weird and wonderful music in Detroit, this September 7, 8, and 9 we are bringing you another kaleidoscopic mix of genre-defying art-music. Treat your ears to a three-day sonic adventure.

Joo Won Park opens Day 1 at 7pm, immersing you in his ever-inventive electronic soundscapes followed by Leith Campbell at 8pm guiding us into her deeply emotive world of hypnotic loops and digital introspection. Ending the evening will be the beautiful, joyous chaos that is the Regenerate! Orchestra at 9pm (make sure to sit in the splash zone for this one - the performance is inspired by summer thunderstorms and you may get wet!).

The Regenerate! Orchestra's concerts are a happening unlike any other. Often comprised of 60-70 orchestra members, audience members are seated amongst the musicians and are encouraged to move about the space to hear the different sound perspectives across the mammoth Andy Arts Center hangar and garage.

ANYONE is welcome to perform in The Regenerate! Orchestra - it is not required that you read music. You can play the typewriter, crumple paper/make a paper airplane to fly across the room, or use your own body to sing or to be play as a percussion instrument! Express yourself!
