New Nothing

2009—2010
EMPAC — Troy, NY, USA

In response to the (age-old) complaint that there's nothing new happening in music, EMPAC modestly announces New Nothing, a series of concerts featuring national and international musicians working in the hybridized terrain of experimental-leaning popular music. These groups exemplify a global reality in which music hasn't just crossed borders but made them irrelevant. Popular music will never be the same.
