This week Option features Magda Mayas. As an extension of the regular Monday night concert series, Option curators invite artists to perform, improvise and discuss their work on the Quarantine Concerts stage.
"I’ve been a fan of Magda’s work since first hearing her perform live with drummer Tony Buck in Berlin back in the mid 2000’s. Their focused and engaging duo was one of the most enjoyable live sets of music that I have ever been lucky enough to witness. The improvising was focused, engaging and moved where it needed to, without feeling rushed. Since that time, I have always made it a point to check in with Magda’s work whenever possible, either online or better yet, catching a live set in one of many configurations that she has been a part of over the years. Magda’s highly individualized sound explorations both inside and outside of the piano, often augmented with found objects and amplification, are a stunning example of what can be achieved in the world of sound creation in the 21st century." – Tim Daisy, Option curator
Interview by Ken Vandermark.
The Quarantine Concerts are a collaborative endeavor meant to provide artists a space to share their work and continue to earn a living during this time when most live performance opportunities have been cancelled due to COVID-19. We believe in the necessity of art during difficult moments like these, and feel fortunate to live in a time when loss of mobility does not have to mean loss of community. Thank you for being here.
