Concert: BEAM SPLITTER

Experience the sound of the globally touring duo, BEAM SPLITTER.

Two individual voices join together into a distinct language that delves beyond the borders of the corporeal elements of un-processed voice and trombone, while utilizing analog electronics to offset their hyper extended physical play.

“I’m still not entirely sure why this music’s so good, but ultimately I
know that it is.”
- Kurt Gottschalk, New york city jazz record

“Broken into three intense movements, Split Jaw amplifies the trombone and adds feedback, sound files and electronics to the recipe. Shrill, keening "Breastbone" stuns; the mercurial "Down To Rock And Up To Fire" stammers and wails towards melody. "Purple Mouth" begins like a penal electrocution, confrontational scree stabs and vocal distensions intermingled and sometimes interchangeable, before yielding to aching tension and Chen's exquisite glossolalia.”
- Raymond Cummings, The Wire
