8pm Mongoose. Described by the Austin American Statesman as “strangely compelling,” Mongoose is a collective of jazz/experimental/dance/theater/comedy/performance-art improvisors based in Austin, Texas. Using John Zorn’s Cobra rule system, these differing strands are woven into an audio/visual tapestry that is one of a kind.

9pm – Inspired by the oddly comforting sounds of The Hayward Tuning Vine the mysterious, legendary String Bassist Janie Cowan and local yocal Pedalsteel player Bob Hoffnar will be playing drone based compositions and improvisations. Bob Hoffnar curates the Liminal Sound Series as well as running his own band “the Mood Illusion” here in Austin where he lives with two dogs and a wife. Little is known about the legendary Ms. Cowan. It is said that she drank from the forbidden cup of low frequency wisdom as a feral child which was given to her by the polar bear king after she rescued him from a collapsing glacier…Maybe that explains her uncanny abilities.

9:45pm – Drone Orchestra. A collection of players will perform based on a graphic score written by Greg Cooksey.
