Julian Berke’s “Ghost Runner” project

Julian N. Berke, piano
Nick Alvarez, drums

Julian and Nick have played together in several jazz and improv bands over the past few years. “Ghost Runner” features them in a duo setting for abstract compositional structures in the form of texts, numbers,concepts, and loose instructions. The compositions are intended to study specific tonalities, dynamics and rhythmic interplay while imposing a minimum constraint on both the performers’ spontaneity and the listeners’ interpretation.

Max Alexander

max alexander, in this solo set, will be mixing, remixing, chopping, hacking, building, destroying, cutting and pasting material from his two self-released recordings, “lions” and “BRA ASTE ENT RETARD”
