MANTRA PERCUSSION FT. PAUL PINTO, BASS/COMPUTER
ESTEBANICO:ETUDES
Music by Paul Pinto
Performed by Mantra Percussion
Adapted from an in-progress multilingual musical theater epic exploring the colonization of American land and colorization of American mythology from the standpoint of the enigmatic 16th century “explorer”. These series of 'etudes' are durational compositions for marimba, crotales, chimes and an arsenal of drums accompanied by electronic score. They make up the wordless images of what will eventually become a five-hour operatic spectacle spanning 500 years and featuring a chorus of percussion-playing singers, a chamber orchestra, dancers, pipe organ, live electronics and multichannel audio video.
On Aug 7, Mantra Percussion will premiere the first half-hour of these etudes and Paul will join them for a performance of two songs from the upcoming opera.
Estebanico:Etudes is supported in part by New Music USA's Creator Fund in 2026-2027

Max Knouse
Enjoy an evening of singer-songwriters.
Max Knouse, Headliner: Fresh off tour with Modest Mouse and known for his sessions and live shows with artists like Califone, Jolie Holland, Adan Jodorowsky, Psychic Temple, Simon Joyner, Alex Dupree, and others, Knouse has established himself as an essential factor in the West Coast indie pop underground, brandishing guitar chops that mirror the rawness of his voice; he treats his instrument like a divining rod of spiritual tension and joyful racket, pushing and pulling on it with affection and sometimes something darker . . .
