CHRIS STRUNK is a Boston based percussionist and drummer. His solo work focuses on cymbal overtones, friction, and the vibration and rattle of non traditional objects used as percussion instruments. He has been an active show promoter and musician in the Boston area for the past sixteen years. He has been active in many groups such as Los Condenados, Avoidance, Taps, Phantom Rides, Sheer Anxiety, Conversions, Baja Blatz, Sleeper Cell, and many more. His first full length CD ‘No Chart Could Map My Constellations’ was recently released on the newly minted, Philadelphia based label Killing Time Between the Ice Ages.

ERIKA NESSE is an experimental electronic musician and computer programmer who is fascinated by the intersection between the power of computer algorithms and human creativity. Erika has been playing in various locations around Massachusetts and New York since she started creating fractal music in 2015, including Noise Brunch at Firehouse, XFest, WSAC in Somerville, and Trans-Pecos in Queens. The computer is writing the music but no one seems to have minded yet.

VESPERS is a monthly experimental music concert series hosted by venues around Boston, MA. the basic idea is to provide two experimental artists space to perform a (somewhat) extended solo (or duo/trio, at the artists’ request) set. in addition to the standard vespers two-artist concerts, there are vespers [solo] concerts. these happen once every two months and are very small concerts hosted in my apartment, featuring one artist performing a long set. because these are in my apartment, they are first-come-first-serve RSVP events (max. 7 people) and the performances are all very quiet to silent. i make mushroom soup for all to have prior to the concert.
