Gongslayer plays Dissonant Works, the experimental and improvisation venue on South Jefferson in South City.
Gongslayer plays Dissonant Works on Monday, October 19, at 7 PM. It's a full evening of music, and Gongslayer is the main feature, sharing the bill with a few other ensembles. The rest of the lineup includes the STL Clarinet Freaktet, Michael Williams and Bob Ross playing together, and the trio of Pankratz, Martinez, and Lubart. With four different groups on the program, it's one of those nights where you'll hear a few different sounds rather than just one band.
If you aren't familiar with the venue, Dissonant Works is an experimental art and music space on South Jefferson in South City. It's a volunteer-run nonprofit that programs improvisation, avant-garde jazz, contemporary composition, and noise across a small gallery space. The kind of music they host usually leans toward the improvised side of things—freely improvised ensembles, composers working in electronic and minimalist idioms, and collaborative projects that move between jazz, ambient, and experimental sound. It's a good spot if you're into music that doesn't follow a standard song structure.
That fits the bill here, too. The lineup is built around several different combinations of players, with the STL Clarinet Freaktet bringing a clarinet-led ensemble to the mix, and the other sets pairing off musicians into duos and trios. It's a night of improvised music in a room that's set up for exactly that.
