Colin Stetson & Brìghde Chaimbeul
About This Event
At Pioneer Works, Colin Stetson and Brìghde Chaimbeul appear on the same bill. Stetson's work as a multireed saxophonist and collaborator with Arcade Fire and Bon Iver brings layered wind textures and extended techniques. Chaimbeul's Scottish smallpipes foreground breath, pulse and repetition, favoring clarity over spectacle; the program emphasizes timbre and rhythmic focus rather than conventional song forms.
