For Immediate Release - New York, NY - On Sunday, October 19th at 7pm, Composers Concordance cranks up the volume with the fiery electric guitar trio My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama at Harlem’s legendary Shrine. As part of the ever-adventurous Timbre Tantrum series, where identical instruments collide in sonic mayhem, this edition brings three shredding electric guitars to the forefront. Past tantrums have spotlighted brass and strings — Trumpetation (4 trumpets), TromBonafide (4 trombones), and The Fiddlers (4 violins) — but now it’s time to plug in, turn up, and let the amps roar. The power trio of Jane Getter, Bruce Arnold, and Gene Pritsker — collectively known as My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama Trio — will unleash a wall of six-string sound, backed by Moppa Elliott on bass and David Cossin on drums. Expect sparks to fly, riffs to duel, and the stage to shake. Featured works include the world premieres of Gene Pritsker’s Euphony and Paradigm, Jane Getter’s Again, Ann Warren's Inspired b

Unsound performers draw liberally and without prejudice from the traditions of electronic, experimental, jazz, classical music, folk, and beyond. The festival’s return to Lincoln Center promises audiences a sonic tour of unpredictable ingenuity with unforgettable experiences that blur genre and push the boundaries of the audio avant-garde. This year’s lineup features John Cale, Sinfonietta Cracovia playing Mica Levi, Lucrecia Dalt, RP Boo & Gary Gwadera, Heinali & Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko, Aleksandra S?y? & Sinfonietta Cracovia, and more.
