Monte Espina + Sarah Ruth + JJ

minicine? reopens for three special performances, welcoming Monte Espina (Dallas), Sarah Ruth (Denton) and JJ (SHV). This event will be held in a open and spacious location and minicine? recommends face masks and social distancing. Individually wrapped light vegan treats will be provided by Libby Smith. 7 pm, FREE.

Monte Espina, electroacoustic free improvisation duo, consists of Ernesto Montiel and Miguel Espinel, both Venezuelan-born and North Texas-based. The pair perform in tandem, exploring the possibilities of sinuous sonic environments amid amplified sounds and signal processing.

"Pa" is Monte Espina's second proper album, following 2019's outstanding "y culebra" (Marginal Frequency). In many respects, this is a seamless continuation of the timbres and atmospheres uncovered in that first effort, but "Pa" is an altogether more personal endeavor.
