    About This Event

    Merope joins Shahzad Ismaily for a set at Public Records, presenting a small ensemble that emphasizes shifting roles and textural interplay. Ismaily’s work moves between rock/pop structures and the open-ended language of indie and ambient jazz; he treats bass, electronics and texture as equal parts of an arrangement and favors feel and interaction over display, which will inform the group's approach.
