Sushi Presents: Ear, Nose, Throat


Sushi Performance and Visual Art, founded in 1980, is a San Diego-based nonprofit multi-disciplinary presenting organization, which cultivates alternative voices in the contemporary arts. Sushi is committed to providing its artists and audiences with a laboratory where creative exploration, community engagement, and new ideas flourish.

Latest installment of Sushi's Fresh Sound Series is: Ear, Nose, Throat



Ear, Nose and Throat is a trio from Baltimore, Maryland who make improvised music that short-circuits the distinctions between harsh noise, free jazz, art-rock and academic electronic music. The varied biographies of its three members define this Bermuda Triangle of sound: M.C. Schmidt, Jason Willett, and Max Eilbacher. The result is a trio that can go wherever it wants to go: from crystalline new age space music to facemelting power-electronics to sweaty, angular drums and horns skronk-funk to squirrelly post-everything free playing to aktionist tantrums that leave audiences confused and ecstatic. For some time now Baltimore has been home to a great deal of irreverent, bizarrre and ornery music-making (from Nautical Almanac to DJ Dogdick to Cex to Dan Deacon), and the multi-generational, multi-genre pileup that is Ear, Nose and Throat exports the city’s pulsating noise/improv scene for the world to gape at.
