Tilt

About

This performance features the Brooklyn-based trio Tilt, a collective known for its intricate and viscerally affecting art-pop compositions. The group's musical style exists in a space between structured song and open improvisation, emerging from a shared interest in language and sonic experimentation. Their compositions are characterized by melodies that are chiseled at extremes, vacillating between the angular and the achingly lyrical. All three members—Isabel Crespo Pardo, Carmen Quill, and Kalia Vandever—are accomplished composers and artists with strong backgrounds in the jazz world, though their work as Tilt is stylistically distinct from their individual solo projects. The performance showcases the trio's symbiotic chemistry and hypnotic improvisational approach, and centers on music from their debut LP, “something we once knew.”
