The Cleveland Uncommon Sound Project (CUSP) diligently produces concerts with artists whose appeal isn’t wide but whose music — experimental, almost always containing elements of improvisation, frequently blending electronic and acoustic instruments as well as non-traditional sound-making sources — deserves to be heard.
Its next concert, taking place as usual at the former Convivium 33 Gallery in AsiaTown, is headlined by New York City synthesist/composer/improviser/educator Matthew Ryalls. He has performed internationally and has released three studio albums and a number of EPs, with a new solo album on the way as well as a collaborative album with Jacob Sachs-Mishalanie coming in 2026.
Joining him on the bill will be Harper/Haluska/Oicherman, featuring three Cleveland-based improvisational musicians: pianist Grace Harper, harp player Stephan Haluska and composer/musician/visual artist Boris Oicherman.
