Music Program Presents

'Marshall Trammell and Luis Chavez'

Marshall Trammell – a self-described ‘music research strategist’ – experimental archivist, percussionist, conductor, and composer will join guitarist Luis Chavez for the performance of Border/Lands/La Frontera. Join us for an improvised, experimental, and sonic (instrumental) conversation about the borderland(s). 

Marshall Trammell is a self-styled Music Research Strategist. As such, he is an Experimental/Creative Music Percussionist, Conductor, and Composer. His aesthetics and activism are centered in social change interventions and generate new local and global ecologies that embrace improvisation as a collective, movement-building tool in the creation of post-capitalist imaginaries. Trammell’s work also uses political aesthetic theory, data creation, mapping, and collective music-and-artmaking in order to step out of the domain of traditional cultural institutions, relocating the act of co-production back in the community.
