Reading & Performance: David Grubbs
May 17, 2018, 7:00 pm
at McNally Jackson

David Grubbs will be reading from Now that the audience is assembled and play a set of solo electric guitar. The event is free and open to all. Following his investigation into experimental music and sound recording in Records Ruin the Landscape, David Grubbs turns his attention to the performance of improvised music with an altogether different form of writing. Now that the audience is assembled is a book-length prose poem that describes a fictional performance during which an unnamed musician improvises the construction of a series of invented instruments before an audience that is contemplative, participatory, disputatious, and asleep.
