About the Event
About the Band:
“…it’s patient, layered music that’s always heading somewhere, sometimes spare and sometimes complex and shimmering”
-Ben Ratliff, New York Times
Natural Information Society (NIS) is led by composer and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Abrams. The group’s music is grounded in Abrams’ hypnotic & interwoven writing. Performing with Lisa Alvarado’s free-hanging paintings as mobile sets, NIS creates meditative environments. NIS navigates forms that emphasize simultaneous differences, rhythm, and collective listening. The group has released six records, including descension (Out of Our Constrictions) 2021, for eremite records.
