A mainstay of Chicago’s revered jazz, experimental and rock scenes, Joshua Abrams now performs with an ever-evolving lineup of musicians called the Natural Information Society. Formed in 2010, the group uses traditional and electric instrumentation to build intricately psychedelic environments, whether composed or improvised. At Rewire 2018, Joshua Abrams and Natural Information Society present their latest album Simultonality, an expressive work in which traditional musics, American minimalism and improvised jazz converge around a three-stringed Moroccan lute called the guimbri.
