The four members of Sō Percussion can turn nearly anything into a playable instrument – blocks, bells, drums, and other surfaces (as well as lumber, flower pots, garden tools – don’t set them loose in a hardware store.) Composer and So-founding member Jason Treuting has even turned the numbers 1-9, as in the Japanese puzzle game, sudoku, into an immense pattern-based work called Nine Numbers, which uses interlocking rhythms and melodies, as well as the plosives (some of the hard consonants in English) of speech. Together with strings of the Bergamot Quartet, Sō Percussion plays some of the cyclical and pattern-driven pieces of Treuting's Nine Numbers, live from The Greene Space. - Caryn Havlik
