Originally from Chicago, Gene Coleman is now a mainstay of Philly’s experimental scene, a composer and bass clarinetist merging the worlds of chamber music, free improvisation and multimedia. His recent work, witheringly abstract and yet thoroughly engrossing, involves close study of the instruments and traditions of East Asia. His younger associate Joo Won Park comes at things from a complementary angle: through digital processing he wrings music from such objects as vegetables and umbrellas. Upright bassist Evan Lipson will give some low-end percussive oomph to this anything-can-happen encounter. Sharing the bill is Brooklyn’s Natura Morta, with violist Frantz Loriot, bassist Sean Ali and drummer Carlo Costa. -David R. Adler
