with my painting, Anxieties + Alienations

and a nice shirt...

ensemble, et al. is a Brooklyn-based pseudo-classical percussion ensemble

performing their debut here at Pelavin Gallery

during my solo exhibition, Conditions of Existence, October 2010 

I am so honored and pleased to share this with them

The group combines the structure and instrumentation of classicism and modernism with an 

emotional aesthetic commonly heard in post-punk-indie rock. 

melancholy...  meditative...  reflective...  minimal...

...a perfect flow...

Inspired by artists such as amiina, Clogs and Rachel's and influenced by contemporary 

composers like Arvo Part, Philip Glass and Steve Reich, ensemble, et al.'s music aspires to be 

simple, intimate, elegant and delicately beautiful. 

Thank you, Ron
