ST. LOU FRINGE - THE MAIN EVENT STARTS

The main part of the Fringe schedule started last night with two unusual and fascinating performers.

Matthew Von Doren plays guitar with electronic effects such as loops, reverb, digital harmonies and rhythm tracks. It can seem meditative, even hypnotic, but the sound colors are amazing. I heard what sounded like Bach chordal progressions and mournful Andalucian song. The woman who performs as ANAAM also uses digital sound effects but with the original instrument, the human voice. Her performance, all improvised, was ecstatic. They performed together at the end of the evening, each responding to the other.

Remember, locals, https://www.stlfringe.org/. Scores of performances continue through Sunday.
