Join us for a special evening of improvised acoustic music at Circle in Cube hosted by Daylight Project. The rules are simple: three experimental musicians, three solo performances, twenty minutes each. No amplification and no electronics. Just body, instrument, and, of course, the attention and care of you—our dear listeners.
