ERMP’s own Sarah Bennett is interviewed in this New York Times article about summer concert series.
The East River Music Project’s programming leans to the noisy: its next show, on July 22, will feature Jonathan Kane, an experimental musician who was a founding member of the famously loud 1980’s New York band the Swans. But as is often the case with concerts presented outside, the environment can have a surprising effect on the sound of the music.
“Our bands usually play in tiny, tiny clubs,” Ms. Bennett said. “But in the open air, with tugboats going behind them, it’s strangely ideal. We’ve had noise bands play, and for music that is so discordant, to have it in such a serene setting balances it out.”
