Advanced Rhythm Workshop with Jacob Adler (1 hour / free admission)
Jacob Adler (performing with Zeelab on June 9) will demonstrate simple tools for performing complex time proportions and ratio relationships. Concepts from Carnatic (South Indian) rhythm theory will be used to illustrate powerful techniques for musicians exploring complex rhythms. These rhythmic techniques can be applied to any style of music and any instrument. All musicians are welcome to come and participate!
Jacob Adler studied Carnatic rhythm and its application to contemporary classical music and improvisation at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Jacob is a composer and has performed his music in the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, France, and the US. He teaches advanced rhythm at ASU, and his instruments include piano, organ, tsimbl, accordion, and laptop.

Jonathan Kane’s February
February
Jonathan Kane is a Downtown NYC legend — as co-founder of the no-wave behemoth Swans, and the rhythmic thunder behind the massed-guitar armies of Rhys Chatham and the rock excursions of La Monte Young and one of the hardest-hitting drummers on the planet.
“Wedding the brutal severity of Delta country boogie and Seventies German pulse rock – all dead-ahead motion and mounting detail…Epic.”
Rolling Stone
“Somewhere between Sonic Youth and Steve Reich is the drummer Jonathan Kane. Interested in the crossroads of new-music iconoclasm and experimental rock, he has a drummers sense of steady dynamic development and an unapologetic love of noise. Virtuosic”
New York Times
“Intensely propulsive motorik blues, its muscularity and greased relentlessness is never less than exhilarating”
