We are super stoked to host the influential and exquisite Austrian musician Christian Fennesz in our backyard! Opening the night will be Dallas’ own sound wizard, Derek Rogers.

TICKETS: $25 advance / $30 door

“By dispersing electric guitar signals through a lattice of software to create absorbing soundscapes, Christian Fennesz became one of the most influential electronic music producers of this century, ranking alongside Aphex Twin and Wolfgang Voigt.”  Big Ears Festival

Using a filtered and treated electric guitar as the starting point for his lush soundscapes, Fennesz has created a personal and groundbreaking discourse throughout his career. Perhaps sculpting the last truly unique vision for the guitar, his luminant compositions are anything but sterile experiments. Fennesz’s world of sound unfolds and resembles sensitive, telescopic recordings of rainforest insect life or natural atmospheric occurrences, an inherent naturalism permeating each piece. In addition to his prolific output as a solo artist, and his ongoing investigation of the limits of noise, automatic composition, field music or contemporary classical, Fennesz is also a frequent collaborator with other luminaries of the scene. These include artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jim O’Rourke, David Sylvian, Peter Rehberg, Keith Rowe, Alva Noto, and Oren Ambarchi.

Derek Rogers is a Dallas based musician active in electronic composition, drone, free-improv, ambient, and noise textures. He utilizes computer processes as well as traditional instrumentation and field recordings to create emotionally resonant work, tending toward long forms and soundscapes. Rogers works predominantly as a solo artist, with some 50+ albums released since 2007.
