A multimedia composition propelled by electroacoustic percussion, Imprint combines Adler’s multidisciplinary approach to drumming and composition with live processing, synthesis, and video manipulation by Stiles, resulting in kaleidoscopic time structures and shifting audiovisual spaces. In the performance, a database of found footage is deconstructed by the sounds of the instruments, evoking a meditation on human absence and the fragility of form.
Air Space is a duo with keyboardist Mike Effenberger and percussionist Brian Shankar Adler. Drawing from minimalist structures and the occasional inside-out pop tune, audiences have described the duo as: “a sound bath of focus music to have a drink to.
