On March 28, Sound Praxis presents an evening of duo and solo improvised music featuring bicoastal percussion duo Ben Rempel & Justin Gunter, Ana Luisa Díaz de Cossío, and 1515 (Ryan Ebaugh & Jonathan Piper). This presentation is generously hosted by the Brown Building in City Heights! Justin Gunter and Ben Rempel are percussionists based in NYC and LA. Having met in music school, they’ve reunited to form a percussion duo rooted in their wide-ranging shared musical interests. In a style that feels organic and intuitive, their music combines free improvisation, complex rhythmic composition, minimalism, classical percussion sensitivity, and a sensibility for groove. As an improviser, Ana Luisa Díaz de Cossío is drawn to the quiet thresholds of daily life. She works with the mundane and the overlooked, with found materials and unstable textures, allowing sound to emerge from what is already present. De Cossio is interested in micro-gestures: sounds that crack, bend, fray, dissolve. Sounds that feel provisional, alive. Improvisation is at the center of her work not as a technique, but as a way of being, as an act of care and commitment to presence, to responsiveness, to the unknown. 1515 is a collaborative duo of Jonathan Piper (tuba) and Ryan Ebaugh (sax). They incorporate extended techniques and idiosyncratic approaches to their instruments in a fresh blend of spontaneous interaction, skill, and innovation.
