CUSP Presents: Jon Mueller // Noah Depew Performance at Convivium 33 Gallery
by Cleveland Uncommon Sound Project 26 Mar '23

26 Mar '23

" CUSP Presents: Jon Mueller Music for percussion and electronics With an opening performance by Noah Depew Monday, March 27 Doors 7:30, music 8pm Convivium 33 Gallery 1433 E. 33rd St, Cleveland $15 suggestion donation, no one will be turned away for lack of funds About the artists: Jon Mueller’s "The Future is Unlimited, Always" is an examination of time, meditation and loss. In this piece, released in 2022 on the Virtues label as a CD/book, the Wisconsin-based percussionist’s usual repetitive rhythms and textures are replaced with fluid, calm tones, overlaid with otherworldly wails. In live performances of the piece, Mueller employs a variety of gongs, percussion and electronics to create an atmosphere equally as easy to get lost in as it is to be propelled by. “The Future is Unlimited, Always captures Mueller at his most spacious: layers of frequencies and tones that are as engaging as they are mysterious, and capturing more than just audio, but a deeper sense of existence.” – Creaig Dunton, Brainwashed Mueller’s aim has long been to move drums, percussion and rhythm from its anticipated backbeat to a central musical focus, something more intuitive and natural than usually imagined. Audiences throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United Kingdom have experienced this idiosyncratic point of view as, paradoxically, both ‘cathartic’ and ‘meditative’. Notable solo performances have taken place at the Guggenheim Museum, New Museum, Issue Project Room, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, Alverno Presents, Columbia Festival of Experimental Music, SXSW, Big Ears Festival, Hopscotch Fest and Witching Hour Festival. // In both his sound art and his visual design, Cleveland’s Noah Depew reflects on the navigation of an unnatural world, and distills those experiences into a language that is unfamiliar yet still intelligible. These sublimations can be observed in projects ranging from the intense collaged noise of earlier solo work to the more recent Burning Plastic Blues Band, which utilize synthesis, effected guitar, and tape manipulation to achieve an auditory force that provokes an internal examination of the listener. Like sunlight through a magnifying glass, Depew captures a detailed textural experience and can focus it wherever he chooses. Cleveland Uncommon Sound Project (CUSP) is dedicated to strengthening the artistic engagement of the Northeast Ohio community by championing the creation and performance of new music. CUSP is a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.

At the height of the frenzy over the Fugitive Slave Act, 18-year-old, illiterate captive John Price makes his way over the frozen Ohio River to the abolitionist sanctuary and utopian college town of Oberlin. While its citizens, white and black, fugitive and free, have pledged to live together equally and let no slave be taken from their midst, John quickly discovers that the town’s ideals are far from reality. Yet, when he is abducted by Kentucky slave-hunters, the town folk, despite their differences, rally en masse to free him and get him to safe haven in Canada. The joy of liberation is dashed, however, as John confronts a cold and lonely place and the rescuers are put on trial and jailed. While some congratulate themselves on their small victory, others, through the conditions of their imprisonment, come to understand the toll of enslavement. Two decide that the only way to rescue the nation is through radical revolution, and John, himself, is still in quest of true freedom. Based on actual history, the inside story of the little town that started the Civil War. *Hannah Dougall *| *she/her* Marketing & Engagement Coordinator Department of Theater & Dance Oberlin College & Conservatory Hall Annex rm 209 T: 440-775-8580
