8 PM: Grex (Karl Evangelista and Margaret Rei Scampavia)
9 PM: Phillip Greenlief and David Boyce tenor saxophone duo
Grex’s program explores generative natural processes through the lens of morbidity and fractured consciousness, utilizing cyclicalism and repetition to infuse this perspective with shades of redemption and rebirth.
Grex (greks) n. 1. a multicellular aggregate of the groups Acrasiomycota or Dictyosteliida, formed for the purposes of travel and food collection. 2. a Bay Area creative music partnership composed of Karl A.D. Evangelista (guitar, vox, misc.) and Margaret Rei Scampavia (piano/keys, accordion, flute, saxophone, vox, misc.). Grex (the band) was formed in and around the Mills College music axis, early morning breakfast conversations, and intense dissections of South African music, emphasizing genre bending, cross-idiomatic conceits and melding elements of mostly everything (Evangelista has a background in free jazz and Scampavia is a biologist) into something stark and eldritch. Remarks HurdAudio, “The striking thing about this music was its stubborn refusal to eschew any element in favor of another… offered with a headlong creative urge that made the unexpected turns and sequences into a joyful expression.”
