Sound Series: An Evening with Dawn of Midi

The Warhol welcomes Dawn of Midi, a Brooklyn-based acoustic ensemble made up of Aakaash Israni from India on double bass, Amino Belyamani from Morocco on piano, and Qasim Naqvi from Pakistan on drums. The trio met at California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles in 2006 and developed a unique musical aesthetic that can sound deceptively electronic and computer-generated, involving repetition of phrases and entrancing rhythms. On the trio’s record Dysnomia (released by Erased Tapes), they favor composition over improvisation and employ rhythms from North and West African folk traditions. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

This performance is standing room only.
