She has been a member of numerous bands, including Of a Mesh, The Salmon Skin, Pacer, The Sonora Pine, Hall of Fame, The Tower Recordings, Metal Mountains and Chelsea Light Moving.

Event: February 29th -- Liz Durette / Jason Carr

Open Mouth Records Presents:
Liz Durette & Jason Carr
Saturday, February 29th

Liz Durette
keyboardist and improviser in Baltimore, MD. She's out with a new LP titled "Delight", new old sounds on a crazy keyboard. Lots of flute, bell, and trumpet sounds, totally insane sounds like parlour music or a calliope, lots of melodies, cracked up and expanded. Dually rooted in classical and free music. It's very beautiful and really something to see live!
"GENIUS!" Byron Coley
" ... an intriguing, unorthodox improviser unlike most of her contemporaries." Ian Forsythe Dusted Magazine
 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jason Carr
Jason Carr is a composer, pianist, and music theorist. He is a fixture of Philadelphia's experimental electronic music landscape. In his debut EP Athletic (Great Circles, 2018), he exhibits his left-field approach to rhythm, harmony, and melody - always with a strong emphasis on musical narrative. Since 2009, his synthesizer work in _moonraker and Prefix Moniker has featured his boldest and most personal work. Over the past ten years, Jason's writing and performance has focused increasingly on the role of overarching narrative in avant-garde music; seemingly random and chaotic moments are constantly refigured into a larger musical statement.
