- The English experimentalist will play four shows in the US starting this Saturday.
Mark Fell has four upcoming US gigs on the books, beginning this weekend.
Fell has been a key figure in UK experimental electronic music since the '90s, and is probably best known for his work with Mat Steel as SND in the early 2000s. He ramped up his solo career in 2010 with a spate of albums for Editions Mego and Raster-Noton, as well as more house-influenced material under the name Sensate Focus. Obsessed with computation and algorithmic composition, Fell's work often blends dance music ideas and sounds with experimental programming and generative technologies. (He also showed off his DJ side when he mixed an RA podcast last month.)
His first US shows this year will more academic-leaning affairs. First up is a free gig at Chicago's Graham Foundation this Saturday, (his first solo date in the city), where he'll perform new tonal material that he developed in Stockholm working at the Elektronmusikstudion EMS. A week later he'll hit Troy, NY at the Experimental Media And Performing Arts. There, Fell will "transform the public areas of the building into a massive sound and light installation" and then perform live with in the concert hall in the evening.
The next night, November 10th, Fell will play at Artists Space in Lower Manhattan, before the tour wraps up with a show in Cleveland at new museum Transformer Station, presented by the Cleveland Museum Of Art.
