The McEvoy Foundation for the Arts (MFA) hosts FAN & Screaming, co-presented with Noise Pop. The concert is part of 'For the Sake of Summer,' MFA's film and music series featuring an eclectic mix of musicians and filmmakers.
FAN is the recording project of Meric Long. Conceived upon hearing an irreproducible pattern made from the sound of a broken fan in a restaurant bathroom, FAN's music is created using two synths left behind after his father's passing. For a musician who has spent many years primarily playing guitar, the shift to writing with synthesizers was initially daunting. But doing so gave Long the opportunity to finally embrace a wealth of childhood influences, including Nintendo soundtracks, Devo, Brian Eno, and Prince.
'For the Sake of Summer' expands upon film and music motifs and cultural themes explored in MFA's summer exhibition, 'Ragnar Kjartansson: Scenes from Western Culture.' The music series presents a sonic compliment to Kjartansson's video installations that are "about a feeling, but there's no story." For the Sake of Summer is co-presented with Canyon Cinema, Noise Pop, and the Roxie Theater. For details visit mcevoyarts.org.
Advance tickets may be reserved on Eventbrite. Reserved tickets are good until 6:45 pm when all unclaimed tickets are released and made available at the door on a first-come first-served basis. Seating is limited. Please arrive early.
