May 4 Thursday

First Thursday Open Improv
Music
9:00pm
Free

Anything goes at Eyedrum's monthly open improv night as a gaggle of Atlanta jazz aficionados & freaked out freebirds come together in a celebration of skrinks, skronks and experimental whispering and wailing. Reined in by Eyedrum Executive Director Robert Cheatham, the Thursday night event is a marathon of cool, spaced out and bizarro sounds laid down by everything horns and drums to howling dogs. Chad Radford

 Avant Song

Eyedrum Archive Sunday Special
Radio Program
WREK 91.1 FM
7:00pm – 9:00pm

On the first Sunday of every month, at 7 p.m., Eyedrum does a show on WREK that features nuggets from Eyedrum's archive of live performances.

This month (Sunday May 7th) we'll feature performances from the past year of "Language Harm". Language Harm is Eyedrum's bi-monthly poetry event conducted by the Atlanta Poets Group (the next one is Wed May 17th). Tune in to hear language turned inside out.

Remember that, after the show airs, you can always listen to this and any recent Sunday Special via WREK's 7-day archive if you forget to tune in (direct links to Sunday Special streams: lo-fi or hi-fi). But wait, there's more! We now have a podcast available, for those of you who have discovered that. You can also just download the whole show (right click on "download") although be forewarned that the file is over 50 MB in size.

‘StoryTime’

Color Photography

Story Time rests on an overriding sense of ambiguity. Blurred images
deliberately steer the viewer away from any knowable identity or narrative.
Without a clearly focused center, the photographs encourage the audience to
search out the story by filling in the gaps, like illustrations to fairy
tales whose words have been forgotten or an old photo album found in a
stranger's attic.
