Free hand-typed (*Smith-Corona*) miniature programs at the event! [image: Inline image 1] *Batterie-en-Valise <http://www.kineticontology.com/batterie-en-valise/>:music for two percussionists and five suitcases *, will perform a suite of new compositions entitled, "The Question Concerning Technology" at Barbès <http://barbesbrooklyn.com/> in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Saturday July 13, 7pm set time FREE! (suggested donation) Five gutted-out vintage suitcases - each housing a quirky collection of curated found objects - transform into a cacophonous jungle gym of mounted percussion sculptures and dangling curiosities. Inspired by the composer’s own fraught relationship to technology, the music juxtaposes a long history of traditional rhythms with hyper-contemporary breakbeats and object-oriented "samples," telling the story of a world that is losing its connection with authentic meaning. *Batterie-en-Valise *is new music for two percussionists and five suitcases from Brooklyn-based found-percussionist Eric Farber (The Lisps, Foundry's *Good Person of Szechwan, FUTURITY*), featuring Dylan Thurston (Physics of Meaning, David Karsten Daniels). www.kineticontology.com -- *Kinetic Ontology <http://www.kineticontology.com> - *found percussion assemblages & hand-cranked "drum machines"
