Projections by Fictive (http://fictive.net)

Huddled around a roughly geometric sound and a tendency toward improvisation, Capital M, Adam Caine, and Va Va China represent three different takes on improvised music.

Capital M seeks real and total integration between modern classical music and vernacular styles such as rock and jazz, whether it’s concept pieces by the likes of Frederic Rzewski, collective free improvisations, or music written especially for the group by outside composers.

"He's clearly his own man and one to watch." proclaims Time Out New York after being "blindsided" by Adam Caine, a guitarist and composer primarily interested in jazz and improvised music. His solo performance will bridge the poles between Capital M and Va Va China.

Va Va China's all-improvised shows incorporate elements of free improvisation, electronica, and rock. Free improvisation's notion of spontaneous composition unites electronica's cavernous ambience and blocky, distorted rhythms and rock's energy and appetite for rebellion.
Projectionist Fictive will continue the theme of improvisation with his visuals, accompanying them with live video mixing and manipulation on multiple screens.

Fictive is the visual mastermind behind the wildly popular Basement Bhangra at S.O.B.'s and the Bollywood Disco at the Canal Room with DJ Rekha.
