Me, Myself & Eye
Jason Hwang, violin performance

The improvised spirit is full of force for Jason Kao Hwang, who skitters around the minor acoustic sounds with album of improvisations entitled “Soliloquies.” Just the violin – nothing else. His sonic universe strips things down beyond the normal, into tiny gestures. Quite lively, he avoids anything that could be considered conventional, opting instead for a more spontaneous, vibrant journey. On the avant-garde side of things, he expresses himself in ways reminiscent of the early pioneers of classical improvisation, letting other things define the music beyond the typical, conventional approach.

Debuting in 2015, "Me, Myself and Eye" is a popular event that brings together music and visual art communities. Through solo improvisational performances influenced by the current 440 Gallery art installations, this live, monthly series helps bring unique perspectives to the space.
