Marrying emotional intensity with musical virtuosity, guitarist/composer/electronic music artist Rafiq Bhatia mixes contemporary sound art with high-energy improvisation. Breaking English, Bhatia’s latest work, is transformed into an immersive multimedia experience by Minneapolis-based visual artist Michael Cina and video artist Hal Lovemelt. Ian Chang opens the evening with an exacting and propulsive set of solo works for electronic percussion.
