New York percussion and piano quartet Yarn/Wire celebrates 10 years of its groundbreaking commissioning series Yarn/Wire Currents on Wednesday, May 3 at Roulette. Focused on the creation of new works specifically for Yarn/Wire, the series serves as an incubator for experimentation in which a diverse range of musicians, artists and composers explore intersections of composition, technology, installation, improvisation, live performance, music theater and more, in an effort to expand the ensemble's performance practice and reflect music's fluidity and reach.
A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm Eastern on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing.

About Heather Stebbins, electronics
Heather Stebbins is a sound artist and educator based in Washington, DC, where she is Assistant Professor of Electronic and Computer Music at George Washington University. She works with sounds created by instruments, found objects, nature, and voltage to generate musical experiences ranging from notated works for chamber ensembles to improvised performances on modular synthesizers. Really wonderful people and ensembles have performed her music in a lot of neat places, and she is grateful for that. Her recent album, At the End of the Sky (Superpang, 2023), is available on Bandcamp and streaming platforms. Other recordings are available on New Focus Recordings, Not Art Records, SEAMUS, and Coviello labels.
