Event Detail

In Schick Machine, UC San Diego faculty member and percussionist Steve Schick explores a magical stage filled with huge, invented instruments made by composer/instrument builder Paul Dresher—including the Hurdy Grande, the Tumbler, the Peacock, the Field of Flowers, and a deconstructed pipe organ. Weaving whimsical stories about his childhood in Iowa together with unexpected encounters with noise-making objects, Steve draws audiences into a whimsical evening of instrumental exploration.
