SIMON HANES
In residence Saturday in September - 6pm
Born in California and now based in Brooklyn, Simon Hanes is a composer/performer/arranger and one of the major figures in the newest generation of the NY Downtown music scene. Mastermind of the large pop ensemble
Tredici Bacci, a frequent collaborator of
J.G.Thirlwell, and a member of the band
Trigger (performing
Zorn’s Bagatelles)
Simon’s wild energy is always a highpoint of any live performance. Here he leads a beautiful quintet of young mavericks in a program of surf-based original compositions. Drawing on his California background, and his love of exotica and film music, he has created a beautiful soundtrack for today’s most forward thinking musical explorers.
