A Flawed Contraption
A Flawed Contraption (Greg Campbell, percussion, and Jesse Canterbury, clarinets) is the duo incarnation of a pair of musicians who have worked together for years in other situations. They share an affinity for careful and responsive listening and an appreciation of space in improvisation. The sonorities employed — percussion, vibes, clarinets — are particularly well-suited to the large and warm space of the Chapel. For this performance, they’ll present a mixture of improvisations and loosely structured compositions.
