Masters of Sonic Liberation
2026-05-28 19:30 - 22:00, 2026-06-25 19:30 - 22:00
Masters of Sonic Liberation is a groundbreaking monthly music series aiming to captivate your senses and push the boundaries of sonic creation. Presented by Bonnie Kane and John Loggia of the KaneLoggiaHYPOTHESIS, the series is a gateway to a universe of limitless musical exploration, fueled by the expansive imagination of master musicians who have left the norms and abandoned the pop, easy listening and pre-fab culture, to continually investigate and create music of the greatest depth and personal expression that reaches directly into the algebra of the mind, heart, and soul. You are invited to witness wildly expressive improvisations, scintillating in their immediacy, an expression of the intersection of time and place known as the NOW.
From improvisation and free jazz to noise, avant-garde, electronic manipulations, and modern composition, our lineup encompasses a wide spectrum of sonic expressions that defy conventional categorization. The unifying principle of these artists is their dedication to exploratory, hypothetical, investigational, probing, observational, theoretical, innovative, inventive, radical, avant-garde, anti-normative, alternative, fringe, unfamiliar, unorthodox, unconventional, unusual, eccentric, avant-garde, avant-core, free thinking, way-out music.
Whether it’s a solo performance that pushes the boundaries of traditional instruments, or a dynamic ensemble blending a symphony of unconventional sounds, we present encounters with the avant-garde that will leave you mesmerized. From hauntingly exquisite melodies to ear-bending dissonance, Masters of Sonic Liberation offers an unique live experience with virtuoso artists, where every note is a testament to audacious creativity.

We gather in Holyoke, MA., to honor the cultural systems of the circum-Caribbean as an innovating force in Our Americas. This third annual Juneteenth event highlights the spirituality of Caribbean peoples, while recognizing Holyoke as an extension of the Caribbean through its contemporary Puerto Rican, Dominican, Haitian, Cuban and other island populations. Our program title, ‘Afro-Caribbean history through the arts’, welcomes all to meet some of the best folk artists of this genre, who will guide and teach us about the collective genius of Caribbean peoples, through inherited methods of evoking and memorializing their history within a sacred context.
Our artists are initiates into Afro-Caribbean systems — traditions that have developed over the centuries to teach mutual respect and co-existence — whose performance art sustains collective support
for the expression of visions and sentiments. Our Juneteenth celebration embraces the African heritage of the Caribbean as integral to the history of New England. As evoked by Herman Melville in Moby Dick, as exemplified by the DeWolf family of Rhode Island, as well as the Amistad ship in Mystic, Connecticut, the historic wealth of our coastal communities was developed through Atlantic shipping routes and Caribbean plantations. Today, this history is being recovered through research, for example by members of the Congregational Church of Old Lyme, who have worked to identify and memorialize the enslaved Africans and descendants in their community, as reflected in their African burial ground. Understanding the value of ancestors in our lives (even if to appreciate the traditions and ideas they left for us), the artists will lead us through songs and dance to honor the deceased who impact our lives positively, to evoke their legacies, whether they came from the Kongo, China, Native America, Europe, and to recall how they fought colonial bondage to give us sovereignty, as we continue to struggle for justice in the present. Responding to a sequence of images from paintings created by culture bearers in the Haitian and Cuban ritual systems, the artists will evoke a variety of artistic practices of their regions, to demonstrate their affirmation of life and of collective power in community action.Drs.
