Seattle composer Nat Evans will be presenting an original, site and time-specific music event that fuses nature, music, community, and subjectivity of experience, which will take place just before sunrise on April 25th at Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn. Participants will download the music onto their iPods or other portable listening device ahead of time and arrive at the park entrance at the corner of Washington Park and Dekalb Ave by 5:45am. Participants will then walk into the park together, and 10 minutes before sunrise the cue will be given to press play and participants will sit back and observe while listening.

The music for this Sunrise + Music event was written to best compliment the changing of light during this pivotal moment, and is available to download from the composer’s website (natevansmusic.com). This was the first in a series of time-specific pieces Evans has written – his pieces for sunset and twilight (blue hour) will be presented in Brooklyn in the days surrounding the sunrise event - go to natevansmusic.com for details.

_Experimental ensemble thingNY is thrilled to showcase some very talented out-of-town acts for the third installment of its Seven Immediacies Series, at Brooklyn venue Vaudeville Park. This music series is thingNY's first official foray into curating a series as a group. Each installment of the series will pair local and visiting emerging classical and experimental artists with a new work, difficult to program because of its extreme length or unusual ensemble. This month's program will begin outdoors with Nat Evans' Sunset + Music Event, and followed by the transatlantic Mujô Quartet and new works by composers and performers from both coasts: Doug Laustsen, Nat Evans, John P. Hastings, Rick Parker and Chris Kallmyer.

To participate in Evans' Sunset + Music event, audience members should download the music onto their portable music devices from his website and be at the venue by 7:20pm. Participants will then walk to Cooper Park to to press play and sit back and observe while listening.
