Ikue Mori Residency

From her early days as the untutored drummer for legendary no-wave outfit DNA to her current phase as a painterly laptopper involved with multimedia presentations, Ikue Mori has consistently been one of New York's most engaging conceptualists and improvisers. This crucial birthday stint befits her royal status, and includes gigs with Phantom Orchard (Tue 17), Body/Head (Fri 20), Fred Frith (Sat 21, Sun 22) and John Zorn (Sun 22).
