Ann Annie is the stage name for Portland based composer Eli Goldberg. ann annie began as a simple side project for Eli to explore the world of modular synths and ambient music. As the project grew and took form, he slowly introduced various acoustic instruments into his compositions – most notably in their recent album ‘the wind’. This new sound combines aspects of classical orchestras with string and horn instruments, old country guitar twang and that original electronic modulation to form something wholly unique. Their live show consists of a trio playing piano, saxophone, cello and modular synth performing dreamy, sometimes improvisational, chamber music mixed with atmospheric synth soundscapes. Zane Alexander S.B. is a composer, performer, and community music organizer living in San Diego. Zane’s work makes new music exciting and accessible to both audiences and performers with the aid of unique ensembles, surprising locations, and spontaneous energy. This show will feature a new band performing new songs and improvistations from Zane that blend folk and experimental sounds in an idiom of his own. Stay Connected on Facebook
