Shunning conventional rhythm, harmony, and presentation, tonight's artists — Brooklyn avant-jazzman Guillermo E. Brown and protégé-turned-partner Gordon Voidwell — should impress both neo-soul newbies and urban-vogue veterans alike. Standing behind a laboratory of synthesizers and drum machines, wizard-of-the-choir Voidwell croons R&B melodies with all the pent-up emotion of a fresh-to-death rap geek in the throes of his quarter-life crisis. Next, the spotlight moves to Brown, whose multi-layered narratives of experimental electro-hop, percussion, and visuals transports audiences through the rainbow-colored stage into a new world: a super-stylized, sonic slip 'n slide, with a little street hustle on the side.
