Transmissions / Assemble ensemble at Ace Hotel in NYC
JG Thirlwell will be participating in a Performance of RAFT’s Transmissions in A and E on October 19 at the Ace Hotel in NYC. RAFT is the project of Pat Noecker (These Are Powers, Liars, No Things).

The performance, in it’s simplest form is 11 musicians working to sustain the notes of A and E.
For this performance RAFT will be joined by Camilla Padgitt-Coles, Dana Schechter, Melissa Moore, Rachel Mason, Sabisha Friedberg, Brian Chase, Daniel Schlett, Greg Fox, Pat Spadine and JG Thirlwell.
The Ace Hotel is located at 20 West 29 street NY 10001
