Editors' Picks
The Burnside Park Beer Garden Music Series is pretty damn diverse and adventurous. Today’s attraction is Dustin Wong. He uses a series of pedals and effects (tuner, octave, distortion, delay, loop, envelope filter) which he says “changes the color of the sounds . . . like a blend or like a dye . . . I see all these pedals as a kind of textile factory. The sheets and colors are determined, then the patterns are laid on top, one layer after another, until it becomes a fabric mille-feuille. Once that cake looks done it gets replicated again through another delay pedal. I can keep building these sounds on top each other and decide whether I want to take half of the cake’s slices or not; if I do, I can gaze at the symmetrical void of what I have taken.” Wong will perform works from his enticingly titled recent disc, Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads (Thrill Jockey — seriously, the City of Providence is presenting a Thrill Jockey Recording Artist!!). The mingling and beer-sipping begins at 4:30 pm; Wong will get the wires and wizardry (and decibels) going at 5:30 | Free | kennedyplaza.org
