No Fun New Perspectives: Carlos Giffoni, Lee Ranaldo, Raven Chacon, Keith Fullerton Whitman, and more (Night 2)

No Fun New Perspectives is an individual project working in a classical frame with an ear for New York’s experimental continuum. In performances at Roulette, the project has shared bills with artists including Carlos Giffoni, Lee Ranaldo, Raven Chacon, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Bill Nace, Charmaine Lee, and Twig Harper.

Bill Nace is an experimental guitarist whose work moves between rock structures and electroacoustic noise, with ties to New York City’s downtown scene. He has collaborated with figures such as Joe McPhee, Thurston Moore, and Kim Gordon in Body/Head, and often works in small, volatile pairings.

Carlos Giffoni is an individual artist working at the edges of classical practice, often aligned with noise, drone, and other experimental currents. In New York City he appears at Roulette, where his work has been heard in bills that also include Lee Ranaldo, Raven Chacon, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Bill Nace, and Charmaine Lee.

Charmaine Lee (b. 1991) is an Australian vocalist based in New York. Using the voice, feedback, and live processing, Lee's practice is primarily concerned with risk-taking, playfulness, and improvisation.

Twig Harper is a New York–based performer and composer working at the edges of classical practice, with a listening vocabulary shaped by musique concrète, experimental jazz, and other exploratory forms.

Lee Ranaldo is an American musician, songwriter, and visual artist, recognized for his contributions to the alternative rock genre, particularly through his work with Sonic Youth.
