Their material combines driving rhythms with experimental impulses in an effort to activate righteous energies, open up new perspectives, and help catalyze the needed transformation.... https://www.facebook.com/nowthechanges/ SAPPHIRE LUNG will perform a cluster of compositions by Dani Robison, reflecting the struggle for breath and survival under late capitalism. The unorthodox quintet (bassoon, sax, violin, percussion, and upright bass) explores soundscapes alternately bleak, sentimental, and cacophonous. https://sapphirelung.bandcamp.com/releases
