Note from Intervals: The QUADRA event on Saturday 7/8 has been POSTPONED due to the tragic and sudden death of our friend and musician Rick Froberg, who was part of this performance. We send our love to Rick’s family, friends, and fans around the world. He was a beautiful force for vital art and music that meant so much to so many. All who RSVP’d will receive an email when a new date is confirmed. Thanks for your support and understanding. For this special sound-art event at INTERVALS in Little Italy, QUADRA will present a quadraphonic sound and light installation with live performances throughout the evening. Led by longtime San Diego-based musician and artist Jason Soares (Physics, Rice), the QUADRA group will feature Rick Froberg (Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes), Mike Egington (Earthless) and Arturo Ulloa (Physics) playing multiple sets of long-form improvised music using modular synthesis and traditional instrumentation. QUADRA has become one of the leading members of San Diego’s burgeoning modular synth and experimental electronic music community. By combining the elements of analog electronics with the dreamy, drone-based song forms of post-punk and krautrock, QUADRA takes inspiration from 70’s ‘motorik’ groups like Can, Faust, and Cluster. Informed by 20th century avant garde composers such as La Monte Young and Pauline Oliveros, QUADRA moves beyond rock band territory by creating site-specific sound installations that use long duration sine waves and modulated light. The evening will also feature a modular synth pop-up display by BOUTIQUE PEDAL NYC and a separate ‘Tape and Radio’ installation by instrument maker John Kennedy of Pulp Logic. The QUADRA installation remains up in the INTERVALS gallery space on Sunday by appointment. For more information visit: intervalsroom.com
