Chris Powell

Chris Powell (aka Powserati) is a self-taught rhythm scholar, producer, and electronic music-maker living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a main contributor in the Philadelphia art and sound collective Need New Body, which fused improvisation with popular song structures, Powell began a career of international recording and performance, creating music at the nexus of art and entertainment. Since 1999, he has collaborated, recorded, and toured worldwide with a diverse spectrum of artists and musicians, including the Sun Ra Arkestra, Yoko Ono, and the Boredoms. His latest music projects include Modular on the Spot, a worldwide synth collective performing improvised musical sets on modular synthesizers in various outdoor locations. Powell's latest live set builds on his past two appearances at The Gatherings Concert Series in this acclaimed artist's improvised transcendence of a system of instruments.

Jerry Kaba

Jerry Kaba performs regularly making experimental music using modular synthesizers. Known widely as host of Modular on the Spot events in Philadelphia (the growing mostly monthly modular synthesizer series of outdoor free picnics worldwide) his own music is entirely a free-form practice of spontaneous composition, realized only in the act of playing. Every project is approached with a different set of instruments and techniques, as Kaba constantly challenges himself and his audience to go further.

This event will also include the video artistry of Neil Cippon and Samara Talkin.
Generating projections of original, ever-evolving graphics onto the interior features of the St Mary's staging space, their visual output will align with the improvised live musical expressions conjured by the musicians.
