Dbs Hybrid Ii: Sonya Belaya & "Crazy" James Baljo [Piano Vs. Electric Guitar]

Sonya Belaya (piano) and "Crazy" James Baljo (electric guitar) @ the Ecumenical Theological Seminary (fka First Presbyterian)

Two monolithic solo traditions come together for a unique sonic experience; the classical piano, and the all-American electric guitar. "Crazy" James Baljo, known as guitarist for Wolf Eyes, is an unmistakable force on the stage, sounding somewhere between Jimmy Hendrix and Karlheinz Stockhausen. He claims ownership of each improvised moment, a riotous demeanor matching the gritty uproar from his guitar. Another sonic force is Sonya Belaya, the phenomenal pianist hailing from Ann Arbor. Sonya and the piano seem to be adjoined when she plays - a very special presence, truly captivating and expressive in her renditions of Classical and Contemporary music. Our second HYBRID concert: shredding of strings and keys.
