Performing in both solo and duo configurations, thenumber46
is concerned with experimental improvisation utilizing electronic
and acoustic instruments and explores the aesthetics of composer/perfromer/listener
interaction through acoustic phenomena. thenumber46 offers a unique
experience in the sense that it is one of very few groups out
there dealing with formal issues of sound (standing waves, combination
tones, other psycho and physio-acoustic phenomena).
As musicians whose backgrounds include extensive organization
building in addition to musical output we are both commited to
enriching and helping build artistic communities in whatever way
we can. We see our music both as a social and political statement
aimed at empowering the listeners and ourselves to explore the
multitude of creative possibilities inherent in everyday life
and social interaction with others. For more information please
