Greetings,
21 Grand is recovering from the Accordion Festival and its unexpectedly
whopping turn-out. For those of you who missed it, several of the
performers will be returning (including Jason Webley) on Wednesday,
September 25.
Experimental folks that we are here at 21 Grand, I'm trying a new thing
here
on the weekly e-mail, the "tease and link," so that the missives aren't as
long. Let me know whether you prefer this method or the old "scrolling
through large text blocks".

21 Grand is a multi-disciplinary arts space located at 449B 23rd St.

Rev.99
Rev.99 establishes environmental improvisations. We develop feedback
relationships between the players as media-ted by technology. In other
words, the sounds and visuals people produce are routed through either a
video or audio mixer (or both) before being presented.
