A remarkable document of two musicians in their prime, Gymnastics is a split release from Baltimore based sound artist Bonnie Jones and veteran DC experimenter Jeff Surak.
Bonnie Jones is a Korean-American improvising musician, poet, and educator. Her work is committed to an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates text, sculpture, and video, but grounds itself in an improvised electronic noise and sound practice. Her side of Gymnastics documents a thrilling live performance recorded in Richmond, Virginia in 2017. During the show, processed recordings interfaced with hacked delay pedals, all manipulated with nuance and precision. See more at: Bonnie-Jones.com
Jeff Surak started his journey through sonic experimentation in the 80s, amassing a considerable discography of revered releases under myriad names and collaborations. Currently Surak performs under his own name, operating in the netherworld between composed and improvised music, moving between musique concrete, drone, noise, & free improvisation using whatever sound implements at hand. His side of Gymnastics features two distinct tracks composed with electronics, prepared autoharp, and tape sources.
