Eli Keszler + Carina Khorkhordina

silent green presents

Eli Keszler
Eli Keszler is a Grammy nominated artist, composer, and percussionist based in New York. He has garnered critical acclaim for his solo records and has provided over ten original scores in the realm of film. Notable examples include Olmo Schnabel’s Pet Shop Days, starring Willem Dafoe and Emmanuel Seigner, which premiered at La Biennale Di Venezia in 2023. He also composed for Lofty Nathan’s Harka (2022) and made contributions to Daniel Lopatin's score for Uncut Gems (2019).

Keszlers concerts let the audience enter a sonic and visual field of empty cities, visual debris and a sort of urban placidity, made by Leia Jospe’s gritty, comedic and impressionistic videos on large scale LED screens or projections surrounding the performance. A continuous performance, the music traverses sound worlds, and the natural repetitive percussive patterns. The instrumental textures create an immersive enveloping work that keeps moving and does not stop, accumulating to convey a glorious and dystopic western world. The music bridges crystalline melodic patterns with Keszler on drum set and percussion, all framed by panoramic, journaled recordings of silent Manhattan, the Odyssey Cave amongst other global recordings, defining an expansive music both tactile, ancient and future bound.
