Bathed in Sound: James Brandon Lewis Trio // Trap Music Orchestra // Angelica Sanchez // Clinton Patterson, Sheela Bringi & Elden Kelly
About This Event
At Roulette, Bathed in Sound appears on a cross-genre bill with the James Brandon Lewis Trio, Trap Music Orchestra, Angelica Sanchez, Sheela Bringi, Clinton Patterson and Elden Kelly. The program pairs Bathed in Sound’s restrained, structure-forward classical work with the Trio’s liminal mix of composed form and free-jazz improvisation, and Trap Music Orchestra’s orchestral timbral focus informed by club rhythms. Sanchez, Bringi, Patterson and Kelly contribute improvisatory, ensemble-minded perspectives drawn from jazz, classical and world music.
About Bathed in Sound
“Bathed in Sound” arrives at Roulette as a live, in-room event shaped by the acoustics and attention of the space. Presented in a classical frame, it brings together Bathed in Sound with the James Brandon Lewis Trio, Sheela Bringi, and Clinton Patterson, moving between composed material and the realities of performance in the moment. No specific NYC premiere history has been confirmed, but the setting matters: Roulette continues New York’s tradition of treating new concert work as a public experiment. The program’s most telling feature is its insistence on listening as structure rather than ornament.
