Please note that this live performance begins at 1:00pm PT. Join us on Saturday, NOVEMBER 4, 2023 at 1:00-2:00 pm PT in the Edendale Library meeting room for a concert of contemporary classical / experimental music with Natural Realms .  As the Realms say: a  machine is not a thought.  Natural Realms uses computer generated rhythms, natural harmonics, and acoustic sound to explore the space between a machine and living beings. Their music uses strict harmonic relationships that are derived from physical feedback and then juxtaposed with percussion and soprano saxophone which add flaws and fluctuation that give life to momentary crystal time forms The group ( Bryan Eubanks, Xavier Lopez ) has been active in Berlin since 2014, and for this debut concert in the USA they will be augmented on woodblocks by percussionist Todd Capp .  This one will be beyond! Thanks to Fulcrum Arts Emerge, the Hennings-Fischer Foundation, and Kewa Civic Concerts for making our Edendale Up Close concerts possi
