Founded in 2010, a•pe•ri•od•ic is a Chicago-based ensemble specializing in notated, acoustic, experimental music. Hailed as the “city’s most stalwart advocate for post-John Cage experimental music” (Chicago Reader), the ensemble has a history of interpreting distinctive pieces using a collaborative rehearsal process and deriving meaning and intention from oblique prose scores with great sensitivity. Drawn to works of sparseness, contemplation, and quietude, a•pe•ri•od•ic‘s repertoire explores the indeterminacy of various musical elements including instrumentation, structure, pitch, and/or duration.
