$8 general
$5 students/seniors

Meridian Gallery is excited to announce the upcoming performance by the international, virtual, improvisational, acoustic looping duo Chinapainting. 

The pairing features guitarists Jim Goodin and Daryl Shawn spontaneously creating new material, drawing on everything from modern minimalism to glitchcore to free jazz, traditional folk and world music. 

Goodin and Shawn's guitar-based collaboration is enhanced by the unique use of cassette tape loops, essentially creating new instruments from the humble four-track tape recorder and the office dictating machine, as well as the use of various types of guitars, including fretless, 12-string and flamenco styles in addition to mandolin.

Though the two musicians live far apart, Jim in Brooklyn and Daryl in Oaxaca, Mexico, they have developed a musical relationship solely through the Internet, using an open-source application called NinJam, which has allowed them to create their music interactively in real time. Says Shawn of their weekly sessions, "We just freely improvise, no discussions or cues, nothing but the sounds from 3000 miles away coming out of our speakers and headphones to react to."
