Bing & Ruth

In 2006, David Moore started Bing & Ruth as a way to bring his compositions to an audience beyond academia. A pianist from Kansas, studying at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York’s Greenwich Village, Moore was writing the sort of music he wanted to hear: minimalist ensemble music with a certain filmic sensitivity, one that prioritized grace and texture over the style’s once-radical subtraction. Following the seasoned history of minimalist heroes at the New School like John Cage and Steve Reich—both of whom taught at the institution throughout the 1950s and ‘60s—Moore’s compositions looked past the studied repetition of the style’s most prominent forerunners towards a form built on feeling, a mobilization of time-honored shapes, now angled outward towards a greater totalizing sublime. The piece’s mark the culmination of Moore’s piano studies, pairing tender lines that emphasize the instrument’s more percussive qualities with running woodwinds, warbling tape delays, and splattered upright bass lines that stare out with a wide-eyed transcendence.

Arone Dyer’s Dronechoir

Arone Dyer is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and one half of Brooklyn-born-project Buke and Gase, a genre-defying musical exploration of limits and device. Since February 2015 she has been examining dis/comfort within performance through a series of long-durational choral pieces, aptly titled Dronechoir, which was initiated into being during the first 24-hr Dronefest of Basilica Hudson, and has since metamorphosed for the following 24-hr Dronefest of Basilica 2016, and as its own entity at CR10.

**Arone Dyer will be donating all of Dronechoir’s proceeds for this performance to Planned Parenthood – you can also donate to her Fearless Fundraiser for Planned Parenthood here.**
