Percussionist Michael Evans is presenting a workshop in conjunction with the High Zero festival on Friday, September 11, at 1 p.m., in the Fine Arts Recital Studio 508. Admission is free.
Evans is an improvising drummer/percussionist/thereminist/composer whose work investigates and embraces the collision of sound and theatrics. In addition to the sounds of the traditional drum set, his work embraces unusual sound sources such as found objects, homemade instruments, the theremin and various digital and homemade analog electronics.
He has performed in multiple performances of the NYC Theremin Society’s Issue Project Room concerts during 2005, 2006 and 2007. He has studied movement/sparring/drumming with Milford Graves, drum technique with Joe Morello, tabla with Misha Masud, kanjira with Ganesh Kumar and Haitian/Afro-Cuban hand drumming with John Amira.
