Matana Roberts Presents: “off the record…”

Emerging from the world of their ongoing COIN COIN project, composer, saxophonist, and sound experimentalist Matana Roberts presents a new live solo performance piece that moves between memory, imagination, and lived experience. Part story, part call, the work follows association rather than chronology with language, gesture, silence, humor, and chance shaping each telling. Part of the lineage of the COIN COIN project was conceived in its inception at Roulette. This work sits at its tail end as a celebratory loving postscript: an underbelly, making space for ideas and questions that lie beyond the scope of the recordings. A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing. Matana Roberts (they/them) is a dynamic instrumentalist and multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the mystical roots and intuitive, spirit-raising traditions of American creative expression. Their innovative work has forged new conceptual approaches to considering narrativity, history, and political expression within improvisatory structures.
