Tilted Axes: Strawberry Solstice

music for mobile electric guitars

June 21st, 12 noon to 2pm — Richard Tucker Park, NYC

MAKE MUSIC NEW YORK 2024 — FREE PERFORMANCE!

It’s a musical procession for the first day of summer and the full strawberry moon.

We begin and end at Richard Tucker Park, W 66th Street and Broadway. The event is a foray into the neighborhood with stops at places of interest.

Tilted Axes perform exciting original compositions and a couple of unique arrangements of seasonal tunes, sonic structures comprised of burbling polyrhythms, and contemplative grooves for deep listeners. They will premiere a new piece, “Strawberry Solstice” and well as some surprises, it’s a tilted tradition.

Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars is an ensemble created and led by composer Patrick Grant.The project takes on aspects of spectacle informed by the traditions of urban street bands, avant-garde theater, and ancient music. It takes music out into the world and seeks transformative situations meant to change the conversation.

Electric Guitars: Gene Ardor, Jessica Dankowitz, Patrick Grant (director), John Halo, Liz Hogg, Howie Kenty, Diego Retana, Dmitri Shapira — Keytar: Dean Olsher — Electric Bass: Jeremy Nesse, Kevin Pfeiffer, Sarah Metivier Schadt — Percussion: Vince Caiafa, Roxan Jurkevich — Choreography: Christopher Caines — Production Support: Alex Lahoski, Keith Steimel, Leslie Stevens — Media Producer: Jocelyn Gonzales

The group consists of 15-18 electric guitarists playing instrumental music through wearable mini-amps, accompanied by percussionists and other performers. Stylistically the ensemble covers a number of genres, centering on the nexus where rock, classical, and world music meet. Tilted Axes performs in public squares, museums, and festivals of all kinds.
