In even the most forgotten corners and forsaken shadows, the city
seethes with life, splayed out in a symphony of sensations. In Imaginary City,
New York's powerhouse percussion ensemble Sō Percussion immerses itself
in everyday urban experiences, offering a multifaceted meditation on
American cities.

Inspired by Italo Calvino's ebullient descriptions of urban environments in his novel Invisible Cities,
the four members of Sō Percussion—all extraordinary musicians and
composers—join video artist Jenise Treuting and director Rinde Eckert
to give voice to the evanescent beauty of the metropolis. Homespun
sampling techniques harmonize with found objects cum instruments,
illuminating the patterns of urban life and turning the concrete jungle
into a cauldron of sensory experience.
