Matana Roberts (US) is an internationally renowned composer, bandleader, saxophonist, sound experimentalist and mixed-media practitioner. Last year Constellation Records released the third part of her grotesque Coin Coin project, named “River Run Thee”. Roberts quilts a panoramic tale of black America’s radical history, aiming to expose the mythical roots and intuitive spirit-raising traditions of American creative expression. International critics hail her intuitive solo performances. Roberts’ free-jazz performances involve on-the-fly evolution, combining sound, image and electronic manipulation.
