Percussionist John Niekrasz is one of Portland’s true artistic treasures, having led and accompanied dozens of groups throughout his time in the city. For the second time, Niekrasz is pooling the many musical resources at his disposal for a project called Orchestra Becomes Radicalized, which, this time around, will perform a politically charged composition based on Subcomandante Marcos’ descriptions of his Zapatista Capitánes. Joining him in this endeavor are experimental geniuses like Holland Andrews (Like a Villain), Sage Fisher (Dolphin Midwives), Jonathan Sielaff (Golden Retriever), Ben Kates, and Brian Mumford. The bill also features the modern synth wizards of Visible Cloaks, who just released a fantastic new collaboration with Japanese artist Dip in the Pool. ROBERT HAM
