Just as the definition of bebop describes music of complex harmony and rhythms, the artists for "What Lives in the Space Between Points" are at times very complex in their perspectives of the world. While St. Celfer explores the microcosm and macrocosm (as above so below and as within so without) pondering what things might be eluding us in ways we have not considered, Luke Gumaelius' keen academic mind considers patterns in biological and cultural existence. In contrast, Robin and John Gumaelius utilize expert ceramicist skill to create fantastical creatures both biological and imaginary. The four artists meet in the realm of concept. What can't we hear? What can't we see? And what is our mind capable of imagining?

SK Kakraba is a renowned virtuoso on the Ghanaian gyil, a xylophone with gourd resonators punctured with holes covered in the silk of spider cocoons. This arrangement produces the distinctive buzzing sound of the instrument, rich in melodic and percussive qualities. Kakraba descends from a long line of gyil masters who have traditionally played sacred music reserved for funerals and religious observances. This will be the first-ever San Diego performance by this artist, who is possibly “the world’s greatest xylophone player” (La Weekly). Concert is presented by the Center for World Music and the Mingei Museum.
