Kasey Ball and Kerem Ergener Scores Two Short Films by Maya Deren

Home: Louisiana, United States of America

Throughout his residency in Louisiana, Kerem's love for jazz reached a level that he wanted to combine the avant-garde jazz sounds he adores with his electronics. He invited his trumpeter friend, Kasey Ball, to start a new project that would combine his unique approach to the brass instruments, which he had developed over his decades-long experience in New Orleans. Kasey Ball's unique harmonization technique and his alteration of his trumpet with the effect pedal rig he built create unearthly sounds. Combining these sounds with Kerem's moody textures, strictly swinging drums, and samples, they produced works that delve into the potential for new sounds, changing your understanding of jazz and electronics. In this performance Masey and Kerem score two Maya Deren films live on stage.
