OpenSound is a monthly concert series that explores improvised and experimental music, bringing artists from
disparate backgrounds together for unique events in Somerville. The process of improvisation combines the
distinctive voices of its individual performers.
The music that results is often surprising, unconventional and dynamic. It is not uncommon to hear music made of electronic crackles, noisy multi-phonics, gurgling, hissing, quiet vocalized gibberish, atonal noodling, bowed metal, blowing sounds, post-everything harmony, and a thousand shades of hullabaloo.
You may also see video and dance cohabiting with buzzes, clicks, drones, wooshes, and bleeps in a bizarre galaxy of pitch and spectra!
