Saturday, April 25 - 7:30 PM

Carl Stone Solo and Duo with Paul Dresher

 

Live electronic music pioneer Carl Stone returns to the Bay Area for a rare solo performance, followed by a one-time collaborative set with Paul Dresher on his Hurdy Grande, a large-scale invented instrument. Unscripted and unrepeatable.

Join us for a rare opportunity to experience Carl Stone live, where music is created in the moment—shaped, transformed, and reimagined before your ears. Rather than presenting a fixed composition, he builds each performance on the spot, sculpting fragments of recorded sound into something entirely new. As a pioneer of sampling, he treats everyday audio as living material, weaving it into intricate, evolving textures that gradually draw you in. No two performances are ever the same; each one exists only once, offering a singular, unrepeatable encounter. The result is a deeply immersive experience—subtle, hypnotic, and impossible to fully grasp without being there.
