The Music of Black Angels
Katrina Becker
November 17th, 2012
In a spacious gallery filled with the striking and innovative work of
60 artists, four musicians share the spotlight on a small stage.
Although they’re playing traditional acoustic classical instruments –
violins, viola, and cello – the sounds they create, alternately
disturbing and hypnotic, are anything but conventional.
Welcome to this weekend’s remarkable Black Angels program on the Downtown Chamber Series (DCS), offered in conjunction with the annual Chaos Theory show at Legend City Studios.
Named for an iconic Arizona amusement park, Legend City is a former auto body shop
turned arts venue at 521 West Van Buren, and the workspace of artists
Randy Slack, Jon Balinkie, Jason Grubb, and Brandon Sullivan. “It’s a real point of civic pride,” says DCS founder and Phoenix
Symphony musician Mark Dix. “Of the downtown arts community, Chaos
Theory really is the annual show people want to [show] in, because each
artist is only allowed one piece, and that piece has to be created that
month –- thus the term ‘chaos’.”
