Another new collaboration from a beloved old friend: Lou Damian has been playing reeds with a new “collective improv” dubbed hING. It also features Josh Quan (drums); Michael J. Stevens (guitar and percussion); and Michael Zimmerman (keyboards).
“hING is an elemental assemblage of five individuals with disparate musical experiences,” Michael Zimmerman explains. “We have come together to investigate inner and outer space with a communal brew of free improv and sound/tone investigations that seeks to attain feral heights of aural extremity and sustained moments of contemplative beauty.
These five individuals are, much like a jumble of letters, constantly shifted and shuffled into different shapes and formations to create a singular sound which is best described as the music of hING.”
