With Jason Kao Hwang - violin, viola / Anders Nilsson - guitar / Michael T.A. Thompson - drums. “The Vision Festival’s setup speaks of democracy: each of us initiates, responds, leads, follows, making and breaking mini communities as we press our inspirations onto one another with our sounds and moves. Will we bind together? Will we disintegrate?” - Douglas Dunn Performed and recorded May 25, 2018 for Vision Festival 23 at Roulette, Brooklyn.

Support Arts for Art! https://www.artsforart.org/support Douglas Dunn first presented dancing––One Thing Leads to Another, a collaboration with Sara Rudner––in Laura Dean's loft on Crosby Street in Manhattan in 1971. After a number of years of solo and duet work, Douglas Dunn & Dancers took shape. In 1978, Dunn saw the first of five invitations to the Autumn Festival in Paris. In 1980 the Autumn Festival and the Paris Opera Ballet commissioned Dunn to choreograph Stravinsky's Pulcinella, a forty-minute ballet for fifteen dancers. In addition to touring internationally, the company also presented annual seasons at The Joyce Theater, Dance Theater Workshop, The Kitchen, Danspace Project at St. Mark's Church, Performance Space 122, and Dance New Amsterdam. In 2009, under the auspices of the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Program, Douglas Dunn & Dancers danced at the Ailey Citicorp Theater in midtown, featuring a modern dance revival of Pulcinella. Over the last few years the company has hosted Salon Events at the Douglas Dunn Studio. http://www.douglasdunndance.com/ With Jason Kao Hwang’s Critical Response sounds of origin radically evolve through rhythm, melody and colors to affirm compassion within neo-technological consciousness. With the multiple FX processing of both violin and guitar within layers of polyrhythms, this power trio has symphonic scope. The music of Jason Kao Hwang (composer/violin/viola) explores the vibrations and language of his history. His compositions are often narrative landscapes through which sonic beings embark upon extemporaneous, transformational journeys. https://www.jasonkaohwang.com/ Anders Nilsson is a New York-based guitarist, composer, improviser. He plays electric guitars, 11-string alto guitar and baĝlama. http://www.andersnilssonguitar.com/ Soundrhythium Michael T.A. Thompson (drums) is an anomaly. He has played, toured and/or recorded with such a wide variety of musical artists, including Charles Gayle, Joe McPhee, Oliver Lake, Kidd Jordan and more.
