Paul Mercer, Alchemical String Theory

A decade in the making, The Whispering in the Wood is an obsessive examination of the unique voices of ancient violins and violas with songs composed and performed on 5 specific instruments chosen for their otherworldly tones – from a 400 year old viola da gamba to an early 20th century masterwork. Each song is a story, and the whole album a journey into a new frontier of neoclassical stringed music composition, violin technique and ambient music production.You can Download The Whispering in the Wood on Bandcamp now (for free, or pick you price)The evening’s performance will include members of AST (Alchemical String Theory) “” a collective of avant-garde string artists from Atlanta’s Improvisational Underground.$10 Adv – $15 DoorDoors @ 7 PM
