Three sets of music to remind you of the tricky and treaty side of things. Leichtmann returns to our series to present "SY4" - a moody piece of dark electronics based on the iconic sounds of the 1970s analog percussion synthesizer Pearl SY-1.

Sarah Belle Reid makes her Unwrinkled Ear debut with her freshly incinerated style of trumpet-woven electronics.

Bernd Buerklin & Liam Mooney have gamely accepted an invitation from The Unwrinkled Ear to co-create a performance based on their mutual hauntings of musical containers.

Bernd Buerklin is an accordionist and performance artist who uses the notion of "progress as halted-comedy" as his lodestar. His stage appearances range from siren-like to incipient.

He will be performing a new piece developed with Liam Mooney, who is an inventor of unwieldy musical instruments. His work focuses on the sonic possibilities of everyday objects and on the physical properties of sound.

Mooney’s projects have involved such materials as popcorn, drinking straws, plastic bottles, soap, rubber bands, PVC pipes, dry ice, toy instruments, yogurt, balloons, drums, electric fans, foam, music boxes, and vacuum cleaners.

He was raised in a small but hazardous town in the mountains of Virginia and attributes his love of noise to the fact that things were constantly hitting him in the head during his childhood.
