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.
