About Adi Meyerson & Dark MatterThe idea behind this project is kind of a push and pull between free improvised music tomore structured music, with kind of a focus on what’s not written on the page and whatends up being created from the lack of information given, It’s all about tension andrelease. The music is composed as a kind of space and time travelogue, creatingtension and exhalation in silence and cacophony. The intention with Dark Matter is tooffer the listener a place for calm reflection on our immediate moment through thesynthesis of lyricism and more abstract sound. As a bass player, Meyerson finds herself constantly gravitating towards linear melodies,while always knowing where we are within the sonic and harmonic language. With this project since there is no harmonic instrument, the focus is on melodic the &rhythmic aspects of the music, themes, motifs and creation of energy within the ‘hidden’harmony the counterpunctal lines are creating. This ensemble first came together in 2022, and was a recipient of the Greenwich Musichouse ‘Uncharted’ residency/grant. Since then the ensemble has played multiple showsin various Venues throughout the east & west coasts.The ensemble is the recipient of the Chamber Music America 2024 Performance Plusgrant and has recently recorded their first album, set to be released in 2025.As a bandleader, Meyerson has released two critically acclaimed albums - ‘where westand’ (2018) and ‘I want to sing my heart out in praise of life’ (2020), has played ininternational acclaimed festivals such as BRIC jazz fest, Guatemala Jazz festival,Center City Philadelphia Jazz fest, and has toured all over the US and central Americawith her band.
