Roulette celebrates the occasion of Terry Riley’s 90th birthday with two major works, generative open scores written 60 years apart. To begin the night, Claire Chase gives a solo performance of The Holy Liftoff (2024), premiered recently to acclaim, as part of her Density 2036 project. The 21st NYC IN C, our city’s longest-running annual presentation of Riley’s legendary In C (1964), will follow. Organized by musicians Nick Hallett and Zach Layton, the concert brings together a diverse cross-section of the instrumentalists, improvisers, composers, technologists, and vocalists that make up the experimental music ecosystem.

UllU (duo with David Shively)
UllU (Hindi for “owl”) is Chris McIntyre (trombone, tapes, synths, drums) and Dave Shively (feedback, drums, tapes, combo organs, siren). Sharing both an interest in the ecstatic potential of the drone and an inescapable engagement with Modernism, UllU perform works of extended duration in which practical mechanics of sound production collide with formal concerns. Shows at Incubator Arts Project, The Stone, Experimental Intermedia, and collaborations with TILT Brass, Eli Keszler, Taylor Levine, and James Fei. August, UllU’s debut recording, is available on Non-Site Records (www.non-siterecords.bandcamp.com). In South Asian tradition, the owl is in fact considered a very foolish bird.
