About This Event
Guitarist Loren Connors and composer–multi‑instrumentalist Elliott Sharp share a bill at the Knitting Factory, presenting work that straddles rock forms and experimental sound practice. Both favor restraint and attention to tone, texture, and abrupt shifts in form—Connors through sustained notes and fractured melody, Sharp through electroacoustic techniques, musique concrète, and free‑jazz language.
