MUSIC OF THE SPHERES MAJID ARAIM-KLIMCHAK///JAMAL MOORE-ORLANDO JOHNSON
A NIGHT OF NEW IMPROVISED MUSIC
Majid Araim is an Iraqi-American multi-instrumentalist, composer, educator, curator, visual artist, researcher and a fixture of the Atlanta improvisation and new music communities. Majid’s prolific work as a composer focuses on resonance and dynamics, experimental approaches, and is oriented towards the natural world and reimaginings thereof. Passionate about reflection of experience, invested in exploration of perspective, and aware of the fruits born from those labors, Araim coalesces sound, gesture, and technology to engage in play, communication, and observation as a representation of the different degrees in which biological systems coexist in any given environment, creating space for the exploration of how we treat each other and the world in which we exist. In addition to their creative work as an artist, they are a dedicated parent, horticulturist, and animal lover.
Klimchak is a composer, performer, multi-instrumentalist and improvisor creating electro-acoustic music for film, theater, dance and live performance. His work focuses on the intersection of chaos and order. His composer side builds elaborate structures of interlocking melody & rhythm. Then his performer side takes over and obliterates those structures with bursts of noise, random drones and slabs of spontaneous improvised sound. While trained as a percussionist, Klimchak employs hand-built instruments, Tuvan throat singing, theremin, daxophone, electronics, and any number of peripheral objects to sculpt a soundscape that wanders farther and farther from the confines and timbres of the drum as the set lurches, evolves, and transforms.
We will engage in improvised expression exploring timbre, perception, communication, and reflection.
