About the musicians:
nmperign began in 1998 with the goal of pushing instrumental technique and 
ideas about music to their respective limits. Their performances are marked 
by silences and quiet flutterings as well as abrupt
on-a-dime transformations and adjacent interruptions. The core duo of the 
group is trumpeter Greg Kelley and soprano saxophonist Bhob Rainey, though 
they are often found collaborating w/ a variety of co-conspirators including 
Phil Minton, Axel Dorner, Gunter Muller, Jerome Noetinger, Andrea Neumann 
and Le Quan Ninh (with whom they will be touring France in May of this 
year), as well as collaborations w/ film, dancers and sound installations 
(including at least one w/ vibrating floors). They have performed hundreds 
of concerts throughout Europe and the United States and released recordings 
on the German electro-acoustic/sound art label Selektion, Boston based 
electronic music label Intransitive, and Cambridge damaged rock label 
Twisted Village. With all their various and sundry activities, this will be 
their first duo concert in the Boston area in over one year.

"The nmperign approach is to begin with nothing, and
to go from there. Whereas most musicians' sound
contains references to certain stylistic precursors
and/or influences, Rainey and Kelley seem to have
evolved out of the ether." - David Prince, The Santa Fe Reporter

Brendan Murray has been active as a musician in Boston for five years. His 
solo performances utilize tape recorders, cheap phrase samplers, toy 
keyboards and a mixer. His sound is a combination of field recordings, sine 
tones and processed found sound, all filtered through the hazy hiss of his 
amateur equipment. Murray's solo sets attempt to create a "narrative" 
experience using repetition and juxtaposition of
"wrong" notes and sounds. In addition to his solo work, he records and 
performs with John Henry (as Defense Electronics), Howard Stelzer and Jason 
Talbot (as TWIN) and his own quartet, featuring David Gross (reeds), Mike 
Bullock (contrabass) and James Coleman (Theremin).
