Hassan Khan
Oliver Pasquet
Ano Ano (Tengal, Pedro André, and Sara Pereira)

The second night of this month’s program brings together two distinct approaches to experimental composition and performance. AnoAno (Tengal, Pedro Andre, Sarah Pereira) will mark their debut as a collaborative trio, opening up a fresh space of improvised interaction and sonic possibility. And Hassan Khan will pair up with Oliver Pasquet for something entirely different. In their own words:

“What connects a munshid who begins singing by falling in love with one stanza out of a memorized body of poetry extending over a millenium to an algorithmic generator that puts together thousands of elements to produce duodecillions of possibilities? Artist, Musician and writer Hassan Khan will discuss culture, meaning, politics music and technology in relation to the various iterations of his project – The Infinite Hip-Hop Song, while Computer Music Designer and Composer Olivier Pasquet will discuss the generative aspects of the piece, and how generative music is influencing contemporary aesthetics.”

Ano Ano is a sound project by Tengal, Pedro André, and Sara Pereira, blending analogue/digital electronics, free improvisation, and graphic scores into emergent structures populated by strange insects, waters, and cut-frequency transmissions. Tengal works with game theory, algorithmic structures, and modular-synth improvisation; André is a sound artist active in film, installation, and collaborative projects; and Pereira, part of Discoteca Flaming Star, drifts through music, sound, and drawing with a focus on layered densities. Together they form a shifting, exploratory trio oriented toward open, unstable, and vividly textured sound worlds.
