Loren Connors, Elliott Sharp
About This Event
At the Knitting Factory, guitarist Loren Connors and composer/multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp share a bill. Both move between rock-rooted forms and experimental practice — Sharp through electroacoustic techniques, musique concrète and free-jazz inflections, Connors via drone-leaning sustained tones and fractured melody — resulting in a focus on texture, tonal economy and abrupt shifts in form.
