Carl Stone concert rescheduled for February 18

After electronic musician Carl Stone's appearance in St. Louis last November was cancelled, presenters New Music Circle promised to reschedule, and they've just announced Sunday, February 18 as the new date for the show. On that night, Stone will give a concert starting at 7:30 p.m. at Bill Christman Studio, 6014 Kingsbury in the Central West End.

Considered one of the pioneers of laptop-based computer music performance, Stone doesn't put on much of a show; as the photo suggests, he basically just sits behind his computer, triggering various prerecorded samples and events and then sometimes manipulating them in real time. But if you're into electronic music at all, he's definitely worth hearing, and the eclectic, even wacky artwork and installations at the Christman Studio should provide additional visual interest.
