A project of composer Pat Spadine and company, The Ashcan Orchestra utilizes electro-mechanical toy instruments, handbells, re-appropriated and homemade instruments, toy pianos, slide whistles, and percussion automated by light, sound, and sensors using simple CMOS digital logic chips, mechanical memory, and virtuoso performers. A revolving performance ensemble based in NYC since 2007, the group has been presenting "new music and rituals in celebration and emulation of the physics and mathematics that bind the known universe". This program features excerpts from performances at the Roulette concert hall in Brooklyn in 2014 and 2016.
