Sunday at Salvage Vanguard, Church of the Friendly Ghost debuts a new monthly series. Open Spaces, organized by Weird Weeds drummer Nick Hennies, seeks to bring works of one artist into focus, rather than a whole lineup of bands. Hennies kicks off the series with two pieces, one for percussion and one for vibraphone.
“There’s always so much going on in Austin that I thought it would be nice to provide a space once a month where something calm and meditative but sonically interesting could occur,” Hennies explains. “The more you take away from music and decontextualize sound the more you’re forced to focus on the details of the events.”
In addition, CotFG holds a volunteer meeting tomorrow at Hot Mama’s Coffee House (2401 E Sixth St.), 6pm, and all are welcome.
