BRM Presents Quadrature Record Release Show w/ Baba Israel

Quadrature celebrates their debut album “Black Hole Blues” at Drom NYC, breaking down the boundaries between raga, rock, jazz, space, and time.

Emerging from the legendary Brooklyn Raga Massive jam sessions, Quadrature began their journey with fully improvised sets rooted in ragas, captivating audiences on the streets of Brooklyn. In 2023, they were artists in residence at David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center at The Pocantico Center, where they further developed their sound and arrangements. They have performed at Globalfest at Lincoln Center, Ragas Live Festival at Pioneer Works, Joe’s Pub, Hudson West Fest, Schenectady’s Music Haven, Levitt Pavilion, Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, DromNYC, and more. Inspired by their name, which derives from mathematics and astronomy, Quadrature delves into experimental realms of black hole blues and intricate melodies to create a distinctive sound for this time and space. https://www.quadraturemusic.com/
