Gene Pritsker's Sound Liberation
Gene Pritsker's Sound Liberation aligns classically infused melodies and instruments with Hip-Hop and rock-influenced rhythms. the Philosophy is based upon "ending the segregation of sound vibration". The group performs compositions that encompass a diverse range of musical genre, this enables one to hear elements from classical music to Jazz to music of various cultures at a Sound Liberation show. They will perform music from their recent album 'Open Up Your Ears and Get Some' on Col-Legno Records, from Gene Pritsker's chamber hip-hop opera 'Money' and his 'VRE Suite' to be released next year on Pao Records, plus some world premieres. The concert will feature: Gene "Noizepunk" Pritsker (composer, guitarist, rapper), David "Criminal Cello" Gotay (rapper, cellist), Charles "Das Krooner" Coleman (singer), Chanda Rule (voice), Melanie Mitrano (voice)
Franz Hackl (trumpet), Greg "B-man" Baker (guitarist), Dan Cooper (bass), Joe Abba (drums)
