Adam Neely presents the debut of his large ensemble, Mass Extinction Event, with an hour long tone poem depicting the end of the world. Fusing contemporary minimalism and modern jazz with IDM and electronic dance music, //exigence is a reaction to the apathy of the internet age, and an attempt to depict the results of that apathy. 20 musicians will join Adam on stage for a kaleidoscope of acoustic and electronic soundscapes and grooves.

Adam Neely is a bass guitarist, electronic music producer and composer working in Brooklyn, NY.
