This seven-piece ensemble will explore experiences of duration, repetition, instinct, and attention. Structured as four movements --Hunter, Herder, Guide, Guard-- the work explores combinations of repetition and pulse as fundamental elements shaping musical time. Through improvisation, the ensemble navigates distinct environments, moving between stability and uncertainty. Sutton's practice spans creative music, composition, film scoring, and collaborative performance. Working within traditions of free improvisation, jazz, and experimental forms, he develops systems that create space for individual expression within collective structures. DogTime! extends this approach into a performance that invites musicians and audiences alike to consider their relationship to time and presence, through which our experience takes shape. This project is partially supported by an Individual Artists Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. https://www.johnsuttonmusic.com/ https://www.instagram.com/johnsuttonplaysbass Doors: 8:00 PM
