This was literally the first improvisation between Armenian duduk virtuoso Souren Baronian, Bataco & Miles Jay. This video was filmed just hours before our performance in NYC on 5/21. Souren was about to turn 90 years old on the night he made guest appearance with us. He told us stories about gigging in Manhattan in the 50s & 60s, opening for artists like John Coltrane, etc. We also learned tha...

This collection of footage best represents the 48 hours that the musicians of Stereognosis had to actually meet each other and prepare for this performance. So many moments of spontaneous synergy occurred, thanks to Jeremy Highhouse for capturing some of them on camera. And thanks again to Jonathan Russell at Masterfonics in Nashville, TN.

This montage of clips best represents the beatboxing skills of Fatty K, a world class heavyweight in the style of old school beatbox. He won the Belgium Beatbox National Championship in 2003, 2004, and 2006. He has been sponsored by Roland, Nike, and Franklin & Marshall. FattyK joined an acapella quartet including Polish beatboxer Blady Kris named "Wait A Minute" that went to the semi-finals on...

(He was the only musician featured on every single track of the 2010 album The Hybrid, www.cdbaby.com/cd/Stereognosis.) He has lived and worked as a musician much of the last decade across the Egypt, Lebanon, Syria...

The audience again went wild after this improvisational performance by Beat Rhino and Abbos Kosimov. This represents the project’s first LIVE demonstration of beatbox and middle eastern hand drums. We initially experimented with this combination in the studio on the 2010 album The Hybrid (www.cdbaby.com/cd/Stereognosis): e.g. the opening track Sumerian Breakbeat featuring beatboxer Blake Lewis ...

Everyone in the building was brought to their feet for a standing ovation following this solo performance by Uzbek master percussionist Abbos Kosimov (ua-cam.com/channels/TvMXvvfgC38gQO QF8uhg.html, abboskosimov?hl=en, abbos.kosimov). Abbos’ signature instrument is called the doyra, a frame drum with metal rings suspended from the perimeter of the rear surface. He al...

The concert opened with this beautiful self-composed prelude by Sinan Ayyildiz ( SinanAyyildizOfficial), graduate of the Turkish State Music Conservatory in Istanbul and winner of the "best modern folk musician" title by the 2013 Troya Awards in Turkey.
