Big weekend for new music
Forget the summer doldrums. There’s a few musical boundary-pushers in town who have been busy. And this weekend, they’ll rock it out.
“A Transparent Gate”
Before they head into the studio to record, Austin New Music Co-op will premiere Michael Pisaro’s and Greg Stuart’s new work for solo percussionist and eight channels of recorded audio that employs a set of small portable speakers spread across the performance area. 8 p.m. Thursday. Domy Books, 913 E. Cesar Chavez St. Free. www.newmusic.coop
“Percussion VII”
Percussion — it’s the new violin and current favorite popular solo instrument. Austin alt-indie composers Graham Reynolds and Peter Stopschinski have written new music for an array of percussion sounds. And indie classical percussion virtuosos Tom Burritt, Chuck Fischer and Owen Weaver (who uses recycled objects and electronic sounds) will pound it out. 8 p.m. Saturday. The ND at 501 Studios, 501 N. Interstate 35. $10. goldenhornet.org.
