7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28 with Bryan Day, , sound artist, instrument inventor, and founder of free music label Public Eyesore

Omaha, Nebraska based improviser and concept artist Bryan Day (b. 1979) has been involved in the avant-garde music community for the last 12 years. He started the, then Minneapolis-based, free music label Public Eyesore in 1997 as an outlet for his works using homemade electronic and mechanical sound generating devices, and to this day continues the process of expanding upon these themes. Merging structure and chaos, Day uses an elaborate notation system and cellular automata based computer programs of his own design, along with the expressionist cues of visual art and modern dance for his inspiration. Rather than be known as a musician, he prefers to be known as an impulsive conceptualist, searching for difficult and inconvenient analogs to the contemporary experience using sound.
