New Edge Sessions presents ambient electronic performers in collaboration with acoustic improvisors. While there are a number of electronic music shows happening throughout New England, our hope is that by pairing some of these performers with players from Jazz and other improvisational traditions, we can provide audiences with a unique listening experience.

For the show at AS220 on June 5, embee (Michael Bierylo) will perform on modular synthesizer along with Bob Familiar on synthesizers. We’ll be joined by Kari Juusela on cello. 

Kari Juusela is a composer and cellist who is a fixture on the Providence music scene, equally at home playing with an orchestra or with world fusion group Afrimanding. A master improviser, he draws from a rich musical vocabulary.

Bob Familiar is a performer, composer and producer of minimalist electronic, ambient, and orchestral compositions.
