The night finished with this spectacular set, in part a celebration of the recent return of drummer D. Alex Meeks to the city's creative music circles. A percussion trio that was as much about tiny gestures as forceful thwacks, this worked up from a quiet rustling to something else entirely, with Tomasz Krakowiak hunched over his single large snare, Germaine Liu bowing and tapping at her vibes and D. Alex Meeks working out some algorithms behind a full kit. What a treat it is to hear these three musicians in action!

Michael Lynn captured this whole night in black and white, so you can view the full set over on youtube:
