Composer, performer, and Mutantrumpet inventor Ben Neill will celebrate the release of his new book Diffusing Music: Trajectories of Sonic Democratization and his latest single Blisspeak.

Digital artist Carl Van Brunt’s AI-assisted imagery will provide the visual component for the night. Van Brunt and Neill will collaboratively mix the videos live, with Neill interacting through the Mutantrumpet. Audience members will also be invited to join by taking turns at the VJ console.
