Apologies to anyone who already received this.  I originally sent this out

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 abrupton-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 with 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 with 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).

"...his work combines the use of a (by now) well
known vocabulary with a refreshing appraoch to
composition." - Roel Meelkop Staalplaat
