Join us at Loove Annex on January 17th for a very special double bill featuring electronic inspirations Wolff Parkinson White and Brian Charette:

Wolff Parkinson White has been programming hard-to-listen-to electronic music since 2007. The moniker that NYC jazz drummer Jochen Rueckert is hiding behind refers to an innate heart disease he suffered from until ablation at age 19, best described as faulty wiring of the heart resulting in episodes of rapid irregular heartbeat that his music's signature erratic rhythmic complexity are reminiscent of. Audio-reactive-visuals and random function-aided improvisation enable Wolff Parkinson White to perform unique live sets with his embarrassingly thick PC laptop. Although polyrhythm, alternate tuning systems, and absurd audio processing dominate much of his music, a skilled sense for harmony and song structure shines through, especially on efforts with guests singers like Gabriel Kahane and Norah Jones on the album "Favours".

Brian Charette is best known for playing piano and Hammond organ, but during the pandemic he became deeply interested in electronics and began Tuesday Night Electronica, which garnered significant attention and placed Charette at number six in the 2024 DownBeat Critics’ Poll for electronic keyboards. Charette takes his distinctive minimalist compositions and realizes them in a solo electronic set featuring drum machines, analog synthesizers, unusual samples, and quirky modular synthesizers.
