The Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble, a groundbreaking new music ensemble led by classical and film composer Jack Curtis Dubowsky, combines acoustic instruments, electronic hardware, composed material and structured improvisation. The Ensemble treats analog synth as a rare and unpredictable performance instrument. The Ensemble's contemporary electroacoustic music, abstract, spacious, and transcendental, is performed and recorded live with no overdubs, software, nor sequencing. Based in San Francisco, the Ensemble has played chamber concert series, new music series, galleries, alternative performance spaces, and has presented special programs of live music to experimental film. The release of the new album Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble II is supported by these upcoming engagements: Wed April 7 8-9pm Endless Possibilities WRSU 88.7 New Brunswick NJ Th April 8 9-10pm Live Block BSR 88.1 FM WELH Providence RI Fri April 9 9:30pm The Tank, 354 West 45th St., NYC Buy Tickets Here Sat April 10 9am-noon Fiat Flux WHUS 91.7 FM, Storrs CT Sun April 11 2pm Lily Pad, Cambridge MA Mon April 12 9pm AS220, Providence RI Links: www.destijlmusic.com/jcde.html (includes links to high resolution pics and photo credits) www.myspace.com/jcdensemble JCDE Member Bios Keyboardist and bassist Jack Curtis Dubowsky is an active composer, conductor, writer, educator, and filmmaker.
