press release: Percussionist Jon Mueller returns to Arts + Literature Laboratory with Afterlife Cartoons on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at 7:00pm. Tickets are $10 online in advance ($8 for students and ALL Members) at https://jonmueller.bpt.me, or $15 at the door for everyone.
Mueller's Afterlife Cartoons are solo acoustic percussion performances that use repetitive tom patterns and subtle shifts in grid-like pulsing to instigate overtones, phasing, and choir-like acoustic phenomena that transform the work from mere drum solo to the sonic illusion of a small orchestra. Rhythmic minimalism, contemporary phrasing, and energetic sustain drive Mueller's improvisations into a space somewhere between modern electronic music and primal drumming, inspiring audiences toward movement and contemplation.
“It was simple & complex / minimal & maximal / it was like a one man orchestra of excited strings & when you went to the cymbals at the end I had the most intense overtone experience since MBV in 91!” - Tim Kinsella
