Toy piano and tuba! Composer/multi-instrumentalist Gina Leishman, whose concert, film, and theater works are best known with her Kamikaze Ground Crew (formed as a backup band for the Flying Karamozov Brothers), here in a 2003 duo concert with tuba maestro Marcus Rojas (Henry Threadgill, John Zorn, Foetus). The tuba solos and underscores mix deliciously with Leishman’s glass harmonica, accordion, ukulele, toy piano, piano, and some lovely/scary songs. Plus a great retelling of the tragic Greek tale of Iphigenia.

Tracking The Odds: The Roulette Concert Archive is a monthly hour-long radio special produced by Roulette Intermedium (roulette.org) and broadcast in partnership with Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM and Standing Wave Radio. The broadcasts feature selected highlights from Roulette’s New York experimental music space dating from the early 1980s to the present. Thousands of rare, formative, and often unheard recordings by innovators and adventurous musicians populate the archive. Tracking The Odds airs the fourth Monday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and is archived at wavefarm.org.

Founded in 1978, Roulette operates a 400-seat concert hall on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn with a focus on experimental and unorthodox music and performance across all genres and media. It's archive of thousands of audio and video recordings is currently being restored.
