About This Event
Marisa Anderson and Che Chen share a bill at Union Pool, pairing Anderson’s American primitive–influenced guitar improvisations with Che Chen’s pulse-driven, textural electronics. Anderson alternates acoustic and electric playing and occasional keyboards, drawing on a wide-ranging melodic vocabulary shaped by years of travel; Chen moves between club-forward rhythms and slower passages that treat rhythm as a structure for sound design.
