ONZE AMBASSADE FESTIVAL 2022 —CHRIS CORSANO

Chris Corsano is a drummer/improviser currently living in Ithaca, New York. He is famous for his very unique use of extended technique and prepared drums, leading to an extremely creative and characteristic approach to drumming. Through these methods he constantly searches for new possibilities on the drums, and when combined with his incredibly skillful technique, often leads to unexpected and compelling results. Besides having played with a vast amount of fellow improvisers (Paul Flaherty, Mette Rasmussen, Joe McPhee, Bill Nace, Okkyung Lee, etc.) he has performed a great deal solo, pushing what is physically possible as a musician in order to achieve both sonically and visually engaging performances. http://cor-sano.com/ West Den Haag is a national art institute in the heart of the Museumkwartier in The Hague, the Netherlands, focusing on the most relevant international developments in the field of visual arts.
