Pull yourself up to the First Avenue booth on Wednesday, April 8th at 5pm during Brian Turner’s 4-6pm show as he welcomes local musical mensches Marija Kovačević & Rob Mayson for a live session at EVR’s studio. Respectively armed with broken violins and a mic’d squawking drumstool, the duo will explore the ritualistic, improvisational worlds of sonic decay with raw, acoustic-based, and quite physical presentation amidst the live environs of the East Village itself. Serbian-born Kovačević has travelled the world conducting her minimalistic broken violin performances in numerous locales, Mayson has been in assorted musical units both in Australia and the USA, and is a stalwart of the live local music scene with his productions at Abasement and Stereo Mandrax. He is also the host of EVR’s Wednesday weekly Vocoder Radio. (Photo credit: Heather Nigro)
