08/19 @ 8:00pm - Robbie Lee
For this performance, Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist Robbie Lee leaves behind most of his usual odds and ends to focus on the extraordinary portative organ, a Medieval-style miniature pipe organ. Pumped by hand, this instrument is capable of an expressive sensitivity unique in the keyboard world. Expect the swirling sounds of non-Equal Temperament, and a mix of improvised pieces, hints of early music, and 1930s cowboy songs.
When not making new music on old instruments, Robbie Lee is also a member of H.M.S. Beagle (with Che Chen), and records with the likes of The Howling Hex, Baby Dee, Love As Laughter, Talibam!, and collaborates with all sorts if improvising musicians.
