After collaborating with musical heavyweights like Steve Reich and Philip Glass, Indy guitarist Derek Johnson undoubtedly maintains one of the most accomplished musical resumes to hail from the Hoosier state in recent years. Learn more about Johnson in this Sky Blue Window profile from last year, and join him and a dozen musicians for a collaborative, circular performance of celebrated composer Terry Riley’s In C.

Here’s your spark cheat sheet this week:

Monday, September 21:

Big Car’s experimental sound-art project, Listen Hear has been bringing ambient noise sets to Monument Circle on Monday evenings. Dive into an interview with Listen Hear’s John Flannelly, and a recap of Rob Funkhouser’s performance for some background on the concert series. Most of the sets have leaned toward the mellower side of the sonic spectrum. This week, Bloomington’s Drekka may push listeners into more challenging territory. Listen to a recent live set from The Artifex Guild as a primer.

Tuesday, September 22:

Wednesday, September 23:

The theme walks during Walking Wednesdays have proven to be some of Spark’s most popular programming. Thus far, we toured Indy oddities with artist Kipp Normand, scoured Mass Ave. with Eric Strickland & David Andrichik, and explored Indy’s German history with Bill Selm. This week, interested participants can meet at the Spark welcome trailer at 6:30 pm for a detailed tour of Indy’s public artwork with Arts Council of Indianapolis‘ Julia Moore.
