Saturday, February 23rd – Consider The Source w/ Witty Tarbox

-Doors: 8:00pm, show: 9:00pm
-Tickets: $12 ADV/$15 DOS
-Ages: 18

About Consider the Source:
NYC trio Consider the Source defy easy description. If intergalactic beings of pure energy, after initiation into an order of whirling dervishes, built some kind of pan-dimensional booty-shaking engine, powered by psychedelics and abstract math, it’d probably just sound like a CTS tribute band. Drawing from progressive rock, fusion and jazz, with alien sounds soaked in Indian and Middle Eastern styles, CTS blends disparate parts into a striking, utterly original whole. Dubbed “Sci-Fi Middle Eastern Fusion”, the band’s music strikes a rare balance between cerebral and emotional, intellectual and primal. A relentless touring schedule has won the band a fervent following from California to Israel, with fans ranging from jam-band hippies and jazz cats to corpse-painted headbangers and prog geeks.

Formed in 2004, Consider the Source features Gabriel Marin on fretless double-neck guitar, bassist John Ferrara, and drummer/percussionist Jeff Mann. Called “the guiding light for his generation of six-stringers”, Marin channels the mystical fury of McLaughlin and Coltrane into wailing melodies, kaleidoscopic soundscapes and boneshaking riffs. With a background in classical musics both Eurpoean and Indian, and an instinct for avant-jazz and destructive metal, Marin’s hypnotic fusion of styles is ever unpredictable. Ferrara’s propulsive, percussive attack, equally suited to simple grooves and impossible chords, can ground the music or launch it into space. His madcap gumbo of slap bass, Indian rhythms, earthy minimalism and complex tapping constantly pushes into strange new worlds, whilst still dropping thick booty-clap beats. Underneath them lies Mann’s rolling thunder; dense rhythmic architecture built from pure swagger and bounce. Half double-bass prog-metal, half crackle-pop Buddy Rich swing, with African and Balkan swirls, Mann’s muscular, freewheeling polyrhythms are the engine fuel for Consider’s multiversal mischief. Even when not improvising, Consider’s music is always a conversation, a roiling stew of dynamic interplay. Each member of Consider the Source alternately leads and follows, spars and assists; in any single song, alliances are made and broken, bargains struck and divorces finalized.

Touring from coast to coast, as well as Europe and the Middle East, has not only earned the band thousands of fans, but has allowed them to perform with a wide variety of well-known artists, including Victor Wooten, Wayne Krantz, King Crimson Projekt, Kris Myers (Umphrey’s McGee), Wyclef Jean, Andy Statman, Matt Darriau (Paradox Trio), Oteil Burbridge, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Dumpstaphunk, Keller Williams, George Porter, Jr., Jeff Sipe, Panzerballet (Germany), Eatliz (Israel), Freak Kitchen (Sweden), Morglbl (France), and many others. They have performed at numerous festivals and events, including Burning Man, Gathering of the Vibes, the NYC Fretless Guitar Festival, Catskill Chill, Sun Seekers Ball (Canada), Aura Music & Arts Festival (Florida), Jazz Fest (New Orleans), Head For The Hills Festival & SXSW (Texas), Rootwire (Ohio), and the NYC Gypsy Festival. The band’s latest release, “World War Trio (Parts 2 & 3)” (2016) is available at considerthesourcemusic.bandcamp.com.

Created by renowned contemporary artist Nathan Sawaya and named one of CNN’s Top Ten ‘Global Must-See Exhibitions,’ THE ART OF THE BRICK, presented by M&T Bank, features original pieces, as well as re-imagined versions of some of the world’s most famous art masterpieces, like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” and Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” made exclusively from LEGO bricks. Visitors will have the opportunity to get up-close with the fan favorite, “Yellow,” a life-size sculpture of a man ripping his chest open with thousands of yellow LEGO bricks cascading from the cavity.

THE ART OF THE BRICK, presented by M&T Bank, at the Buffalo Museum of Science will be on display from February 9 through May 4, 2019, and presale tickets will be available just in time for the holidays on December 1, 2018.

Did you know Vivaldi composed the majority of his choral music for an all-female ensemble in Venice? With actual Female Tenors and Female Basses?!? Based on the work of the world-famous Vivaldi’s Women ensemble (Oxford UK), this performance aims to re-create the sound world of Vivaldi’s Venice, featuring an all female ensemble, with some of Buffalo’s finest singers on the “Gloria”… Including Tenors and Basses! Come hear this special, unique, authentic performance of one of the greatest choral masterworks of all time! We are also presenting a haunting aria from one of Vivaldi’s recently rediscovered opera, premiered by a Female Baritone.

In the second half, the orchestra will present Pedrollo’s Concertino for Oboe, and violin soloists of the Camerata in a round-robin performance of Paganini’s “Il Carnevale a Venezia.” Afterward, enjoy Bellinis and Venetian hors d’oeurvres & sweets!

Great Decisions is a nine-week community discussion series held in collaboration with the Foreign Policy Association (FPA). The International Institute hosts this event and recruits local experts from universities and organizations to speak about critical topics.

This week’s topic: “Cyber Conflict and Geopolitics”
Facilitated by Dr. Arun Vishwanath, Communications, University at Buffalo

Cyber conflict is a new and continually developing threat, which can include foreign interference in elections, industrial sabotage and attacks on infrastructure. Russia has been accused of interfering in the 2016 presidential elections in the United States and China is highly committed to using cyberspace as a tool of national policy. Dealing with cyber conflict will require new ways of looking at 21st century warfare. Is the United States prepared to respond to such threats?

All participants have the opportunity to complete national opinion ballots for each session, which the FPA puts in a report to the White House, the Departments of State and Defense, members of Congress, the media and concerned citizens. We encourage participants to discuss how national policies are impacting the local Buffalo community.

Tickets will be available at the door: $7 // $5 (students & educators)

CHAZ BUSCAGLIA: RECENT PORTRAITS
Closing Reception: Thursday February 28, 2019, 5-9pm

Argus Gallery is pleased to announce Chaz Buscaglia’s exhibition Recent Portraits, in collaboration with Autism Services Inc.

Although portraiture has become the sole focus of Chaz Buscaglia’s work in recent years, his interest in this genre has little to do with the identity of his subjects. The expression of self through personal embellishment is the inspiration for Buscaglia’s paintings. “Style” is an elusive entity, its characteristics dependent upon the many contexts in which it is found. In Buscaglia’s work, his subjects’ style is expressed through ornamental features such as sequins, buttons, jewelry, and details of couture, and extends to surrounding objects like furniture and automobiles, whose character reflects back on the subject via proximity. Buscaglia’s manner of interpreting his subjects, itself exemplifies the act of stylization; he edits with restraint, emphasizing bold areas of flat color contained within deliberate contours. Through both representation and practice, Buscaglia’s work invites the viewer to notice what he finds beautiful, and provides a broader perspective on the human drive to play an active role in the creation of our own image.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Chaz Buscaglia joined the Artists of Autism Services studio after high school, and caught the eye of his teaching artist. Buscaglia’s interest in drawing began at an early age. As a child, he enjoyed making his own books out of copier paper, stapling sheets together and filling each page with his drawings, often drawings about music or musical instruments. Music continues to be an avid interest; in particular, the artist is a devotee of jazz, classic soul and R&B, and The Beach Boys.
