DogTime! is a new work by Chicago bassist, composer, and interdisciplinary artist John Sutton. This seven-piece ensemble will explore experiences of duration, repetition, instinct, and attention. Structured as four movements --Hunter, Herder, Guide, Guard-- the work explores combinations of repetition and pulse as fundamental elements shaping musical time. Through improvisation, the ensemble navigates distinct environments, moving between stability and uncertainty. Sutton's practice spans creative music, composition, film scoring, and collaborative performance. Working within traditions of free improvisation, jazz, and experimental forms, he develops systems that create space for individual expression within collective structures. DogTime! extends this approach into a performance that invites musicians and audiences alike to consider their relationship to time and presence, through which our experience takes shape. This project is partially supported by an Individual Artists Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.

Thursday, December 3 Mareux * blood club * Future Nobodies $25 Adv. / $30 Day of / 18+ / Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm Mareux is the decade long electronic solo project from LA based musician and producer Aryan Ashtiani that has sparked an international cult following. His often romantic brand of darkwave, and songs like “The Perfect Girl,” have signaled a cultural paradigm shift across the online world that has united people across diverse subcultures. In describing Mareux’s sound, reviewer Fabrizio Lusso puts it best, “Mareux‘s moody and strongly emotional electronic laden lo-fi approach straddles the line between synth-pop, coldwave and post-punk in a stunning and infectious blend of thick glacial beats, lustrous synth stabs, sparse droning elements, vigorous bleak bass pulsations and a superb passionate voice, flavored by a mournful shadowy-goth feel, a seductive 80s flair, and sometimes subtle groovy r&b inflection.”
