Ergo
The blood of Aphex Twin, the bones of Ornette Coleman and the brains of three lost pilgrims align to form the anatomy of Ergo. The collective sound of drummer Damion Reid, keyboardist Carl Maguire and
trombonist/laptop-jockey Brett Sroka, Ergo’s music criss-crosses glitchy
loops and enveloping electronic textures with plaintive melody and
improvisational empathy.

"Trombonist Brett Sroka, keyboardist Carl Maguire and drummer Damion Reid
are all part of a generation for which Autechre and Sigur Ros are as
pressing concerns as Armstrong and Sun Ra. That's certainly evident in the timbral sophistication, spacey contours and slinky grooves of the band's self-released debut CD, Quality Anatomechanical Music Since 2005, the cause for celebration tonight." - Steve Smith, TIME OUT NEW YORK

Matthew Silberman & Press Play
Bringing together post-Coltrane jazz, hip-hop and electronics by some of the best young players in New York City incuding Matthew Silberman on saxophone, Tommy Crane on drums, and Frank Locrasto on Keyboards.
