Jeffrey Gavett, Will Lang, Andy Kozar, Carlos Cordeiroloadbang: Jeffrey Gavett, Will Lang, Andy Kozar, Carlos CordeiroNew York-based new
chamber group loadbang will perform world premieres of music
for the ensemble and electronics by Scott Worthington, Gary Philo, and Nate
Wooley in addition to Eve Beglarian’s Island of the Sirens.

loadbang is building a new kind of music
for mixed ensemble. Since their founding in 2008, their unique lung-powered
instrumentation (bass clarinet, trumpet, trombone, baritone voice) has provoked
diverse responses from composers, resulting in a stylistic palette ranging from
whistled Brazilian rhythms and microtonal jazz standards to the decoupled and
deconstructed sounds of the second modernity. They have been praised as
“cultivated” by The New Yorker, “inventive” by The New York Times
and called a “formidable new-music force” by TimeOutNY.  loadbang have
had pieces written for them by some of the most exciting and important living
composers including Andy Akiho, Alexandre Lunsqui, Alex Mincek, Hannah Lash,
and Pulitzer Prize winners David Lang and Charles Wuorinen. loadbang also
believes in the importance of education and have held residencies at New York
University, Cornell University, Carnegie Mellon University, SUNY Fredonia, and
others.
