Hello For one night in Philadelphia: Sunday, 5/25. 8pm. The Infusion, and Greyroom Breakthrough, et al. What happens when a musician from North Africa adds electronics to his acoustic guitar and develops an interest in free improv and the avantgarde of Europe? What if he teamed up with two "rock" musicians of similar interests from the US and Europe? The answer is THE INFUSION. Camel Zekri is a descendant of generations of Algerian musicians. Olivier Paquotte is a bassist who lives in Nancy, France. He uses his instruments for their sonic capabilities, with feedback, distortion and slide he gives it a wide range, sometimes like a guitar, sometimes like a drum. And Ron Anderson - NYC-based founder of The Molecules and PAK (toured the U.S. with Ruins, also played w/ Elliott Sharp, Marc Ribot, Otomo Yoshihide, Yamamoto of Boredoms) - also gets many unusual sounds from the instruments he plays - trumpet through echo, drum machine in real time, and electric guitar blending with the other two musicians. Opening will be local space sounds/ambient experimenters Greyroom Breakthrough. Plus, the Highwire Gallery in Old City will lend some of their resident improvisers for the evening. At THE ROTUNDA: 4014 WALNUT, Philadelphia http://www.foundationarts.org 215-573-3234. EVENTS ARE FREE FOR ALL AGES.
