Two distinct forces of alternative music collide at Dropa House: hallucinatory intensity of Dave Rempis (reeds), Jason Adasiewicz (vibraphone) and Chris Corsano (drums) and mesmerizing psychedelic beauty, of Christina Carter (voice, guitar) and Jeffrey Alexander (voice, guitar).

Dave Rempis – Jason Adasiewicz – Chris Corsano Trio (US)

Reed player Dave Rempis is not only one of Chicago’s leading musicians, he is also a tireless tornado of sound and a fearlessly free improviser. Jason Adasiewicz has been one of his permanent companions for years, an adventurer who also dives into the deep end without blinders and became the favourite vibraphonist of the late Peter Brötzmann.

Octopus Chris Corsano is one of the most highly acclaimed drummers in the experimental music world, whether playing aside Björk or Bill Orcutt. On their first trio album Dial Up (2025) you can hear a world of possibilities. Live, their impassioned interaction builds towards a potentially hallucinatory intensity.
