Hailed as “one of the brightest new music ensembles on the scene today” by Gramophone magazine, Bent Frequency (BF) is a performance ensemble possessing a vision to redefine the traditional music experience - ushering it from the strict formality of the concert hall into the fresh air of contemporary artistic expression and experimentation. Founded in 2003, the group brings the avant-garde music tradition to life through adventurous programming, the promotion of New Music, and a creative synthesis of music and media. Bent Frequency is based in Atlanta, Georgia and is Ensemble in Residence at Georgia State University.
Percussionist Stuart Gerber and saxophonist Jan Berry Baker are The BF Duo Project and Artistic Directors of Bent Frequency. Stuart and Jan have commissioned over 30 new works for their duo since the 2013 and have given countless performances across the United States, Mexico, and Europe. They have been guest ensemble in residence at the MATA Festival in Oaxaca, Mexico, Sam Houston State University in Texas, Tage aktueller musik festival in Nuremberg, Germany, Charlotte New Music Festival, The University of Georgia, and New Music on the Point. They have recently released their debut CD, Diamorpha, on the Centaur Label featuring a number of these new works.
