PAN artists Rashad Becker [Berlin] and Eli Keszler [NYC] will embark their first European tour in December. These two avant garde composers and fluent improvisers have performed as a duo only twice before, at the Empty Gallery in Hong Kong and in New York, so expect new ground will be broken with each show.
Eli Keszler is a composer, artist and multi-instrumentalist based in New York City. He has released two acclaimed albums for PAN, and was last heard on record in collaboration with another estimable jammer, Oren Ambarchi, and in collaboration with Tony Conrad, Christian Wolff and Joe Mcphee amongst many others.
Rashad Becker's live sets evolve around the angle of ‘traditional music of notional species’, a semi-abstract synthetic narrative that proves appealing to a remarkably wide audience.
Collaboration between the visionary soundscaper and virtuoso percussionist is a mouth-watering prospect, we're sure you'll agree.
