“Words and Music” is an evening of collaboration between four area poets and the electro-acoustic duo Algorithm. The wordsmiths for the evening are Ellen Sander, author of Back to the Garden and the blog Crackpot Chronicles, Lauren Murray, author of the recently publishedHear if You Dare, Joel Lipman, author of Chicago You Got A Wide Stance and professor at University of Toledo, and current Belfast Poet Laureat Jacob Fricke, and author of This Book of Poems You Found.

Algorithm is a new electro-acoustic duo comprised of Mike Whitehead, trumpet and fluglehorn, and Tom Luther, keyboards. The basic form of the group is supplemented by substantial use of electronic instruments, both live and sequenced. Both musicians are experienced jazz performers, and use their improvising skills in the context of modern electronica and ambient music. The music itself is an amalgam of improvised material and electronic soundscapes crafted by both performers.
