About This Event
At Pioneer Works a bill brings together Norwegian saxophonist-composer Bendik Giske with Pavel Milyakov, MOTHERBOARD, Relaxer and New York–based Baby Leo. The lineup pairs Giske’s conceptual, movement-inflected sax work with Milyakov’s ambient experimentalism and MOTHERBOARD’s UK‑garage–tinged band/DJ hybrid, and includes a Relaxer b2b Baby Leo set focused on pulse, steady dynamics and slow textural shifts.
