David GROSS
Called "One of Boston’s steadfast explorers," by the Boston Globe, saxophonist David Gross has been performing for nearly a decade. Among a slew of others whose names are perhaps not as recognizable, Mr.Gross has performed with Le Quan Ninh, Eddie Prevost, Steve Roden, John Olson, Gino Robair, Martin Tetreault, Tom Carter, Glenn Spearman, Raphe Malik and many members of the Boston free-improv scene including Bhob Rainey, Greg Kelley, and Laurence Cook.Currently, Gross is transforming the saxophone into exactly what it is : a metal tube with keys, mouthpiece, and a reed. Reviews of his recordings have been as varied as "The range of textured noise that he cajoles from his instrument is impressive" to "lengthy episodes of fingernails ripping at a blackboard". He has performed throughout the US including at festivals as diverse as The KNOB (Wichita, KS), Big Sur Festival of Experimental Music (CA), High Zero (Baltimore, MD), Improvised and Otherwise (NYC), The No Idea Fest (Austin, TX) and Autumn Uprising(Boston, MA) which he created in 1997.

CRONO CROMO
La musique libre a trouvé ses nouveaux outils : sons bruts d’instruments, sons customisés ou détournés, registres improbables, bruit des diodes et sensualité des digits .... Beats infernaux, breaks busterkeatoniens, vraix-faux grooves, décalages subtils, trompe-l’oreille en temps réel .... Mise en mémoire vive, ce que vous jouez pourra être retenu (contre vous) et déformé, et ce n’est qu’un jeu : dès qu’on éteint les machines, les mémoires s’effacent : demain sera un autre concert !
Depuis 1999 (festival Hask au Cithéa ; dernière période du groupe Décor), Hubert Dupont explore ces nouvelles possibilités de l’improvisation ; en 2004 il fonde CRONO CROMO afin de continuer l’aventure.
