SUMMARY:Celestial Bodies: Moons+Marguerite Brown
DESCRIPTION:Sound artist Marguerite Brown opens the evening with an exploration of the electric guitar as a celestial body\, using planetary tuning forks\, custom hardware\, and extended performance techniques to reveal new resonances and cosmic frequencies. Her work invites listeners to consider sound as both vibration and matter\, connecting the earthly and the astronomical. Following Brown\, the bi-coastal quartet MOONS —Judith Berkson\, Laura Cetilia\, Katie Porter\, and Christine Tavolacci — presents a set of new compositions born from years of collaboration in experimental music. Their performances traverse chamber textures\, electroacoustic landscapes\, and subtle improvisations\, creating music that is intimate\, exploratory\, and richly detailed. Together\, Brown and MOONS offer an evening that bridges the cosmic and the deeply intimate. \n\n\n\nAPR 17\, 2026\, 7:30 PMBREAD & SALT GALLERY1955 Julian AveSan Diego\, CA 92113
