We invite you to come to Montez Press Radio's second event, The American Anthology of Flat Music with C. Spencer Yeh and Alec Sturgis! This is a special one-off program will take place Monday, July 22, 7-9pm at Canal Projects at 351 Canal Street. Bring a friend!
C. Spencer Yeh is renowned for his diverse roles as an artist, composer, and improviser, with a significant focus on his music project Burning Star Core. His works delves into avant-garde composition and performance, functioning both as experimental explorations of form and technique and as documentation of fellow artists within his creative and social milieu.
Alec Sturgis is running the Flavortone which is a music commentary podcast and writing platform with Nick Scavo.
For the past two years, C. Spencer Yeh and Alec Sturgis have been broadcasting their series of The American Anthology of Flat Music on Montez Press Radio. They explore the diverse spectrum of the cover-song genre ranging from faithful renditions that honor the original composition to more daring remixes that completely transform the vibe, bridging the gap with their own unique observations. Join us on Monday as a studio audience member to experience a live broadcast of the newest episode of The American Anthology of Flat Music.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Montez Press Radio (MPR) is an experimental broadcasting and performance platform. Founded in 2018 with the goal of fostering greater discourse and interaction between artists, writers, and thinkers through the medium of radio, MPR invites different corners of the art world to connect with each other in person and on air—a place where media finally meets flesh. We’re drawn to art that exists in the unexpected, the authenticity of sharing without a script, the sounds of ideas in the making, conversation that forgets there’s an audience.
For the residency at Canal Projects, MPR invites collaborators with research based practices to produce serial radio programming about assimilation gone wrong, perfect mistranslations, and convenient misinterpretation. A reminder that a thing misheard is a thing remade.
