Jan Esbra, Hujiking, Glob, Jon Download


  • Wonderville 1186 Broadway Brooklyn, NY, 11221 United States (map)

Come join us for a night of creative and experimental electronic music ranging from the deep lulls of drones and ambient clouds to intense, evolving and mind melting rhythms.

Each of the performers provides their own take of what electronic music means to them within their practice and creative spectrum.

About each artist:

Jan Esbra (https://www.instagram.com/jan.esbra/) (@jan.esbra)

https://www.janesbra.com/

Jan Esbra is a New York City-based Colombian guitarist and composer known for his mesmerizing soundscapes and innovative ideas. He combines elements from minimalism, ambient and improvised music to create evolving sound sculptures.

Jan has released two albums of ambient works:

- “Temporary Objects'' (August 27, 2021) is a collection of improvisations using guitars, samplers and various effects pedals.

- "Confluence" (November 17 2022) is a collaborative project with St. Louis based musician, producer and visual artist Greg Dallas and was released via The Slow Music Movement.

Hujiking (https://www.instagram.com/artie_does_bass_good/) (@artie_does_bass_good)

https://hujiking.bandcamp.com/

Heavily inspired by the noisy and experimental sounds of Dreamcrusher, Aphex Twin, Sonic Youth, Brian Eno, and Amulets.

Hujiking uses loops, pedals, tape, and computer wizardry to piece together patchworks of different samples, live instrumentation, and on-the-fly audio manipulation to create music. Improvisation is the key, with an overarching philosophy of “controlled chaos” defining the creative process of hujiking both live and in-studio. No two albums or performances will be the same. Why should they when there is so much sound to be explored?

Glob ((https://www.instagram.com/iamglob/) (@iamglob)

https://glob3.bandcamp.com/

NYC based guitarist, composer and electronic musician, Glob has been conjuring up a plethora of sonic offerings that bend genre and twist ears. With several releases via Bandcamp, Glob has a lot to offer. Assembling every sound at his disposal, Glob crafts immersive mangled collages of bouncy banjo strums, swingin saxophone serenades, and electronic bleeps and bloops, to cast audiences far and wide into the realm of unorthodox and unexpected soundscapes where genre, timbre and form collide.

Jon Download (https://www.instagram.com/jondownload/) (@jondownload)

https://jondownload.bandcamp.com/album/digital-crystal

Jon download is a multidisciplinary artist minus the discipline. His live set is mostly some iteration of loud, leftfield club sounds controlled and mangled via live drumming.
