Join us and the Bard Music Program in welcoming Marshall Trammell on Wednesday, December 10th for a musical performance from 7-8pm in Blum N211.
Titled, Border/Lands/La Frontera, this performance is an improvised, experimental, and sonic (instrumental) conversation about the borderland(s).
Marshall Trammell is a self-styled Music Research Strategist. As such, he is an Experimental/Creative Music Percussionist, Conductor, and Composer. His aesthetics and activism are centered in social change interventions and generate new local and global ecologies that embrace improvisation as a collective, movement-building tool in the creation of post-capitalist imaginaries.
Trammell’s work also uses political aesthetic theory, data creation, mapping, and collective music-and-artmaking in order to step out of the domain of traditional cultural institutions, relocating the act of co-production back in the community.
Trammell’s work has been supported by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Center for Indigenous Studies, at Bard, Sacrum Profanum Festival (Krakow, Poland), COFTG/New Media Arts and Sound Summit, Borealis Festival of Experimental Music, Darmstadt Summer Courses, Sonic Acts Biennial, Charlotte Street Foundation, EastSide Alliance, NAKA Dance Theater, The Museum of Human Achievement, Off Lomas, Prelinger Library, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
