We Can And We Must
Since 2003, composer Jason Wampler and Ryan Ingebritsen have developed and honed a new and innovative style of electronic improvisation using creative signal routing and processing to simultaneously manipulate sound as two parts of a single unit. They have developed a performance practice that has been the experimental basis for much of Ingebritsen’s concert work over the last 8 years. Located half in Chicago and half in Beijing China, We Can and We Must continue to give performances around the globe. They have released three records and continue to produce a semi-regular podcast.

DISCOPOLOPERA!!
Discopolopera is a Polish Discopolo Band consisting of Irish American Singer/”Sopngwriter Kerry Kenny and composer Ryan Ingebritsen with help from Polish percussionist Tomek Chołoniewski. It was born from an opera project in 2003 with a scenario by Sławomir Schuty and words and music by Kenny and Ingebritsen and incidental music by Ingebritsen. It focused on Polish discopolo music and culture. The opera had only one performance. Some called it “the most important event in the last decade in Krakow” while others thought it simply perverse and rambling. However, the songs featured during the opera were immortalized in a recording produced by Shannon Fields (Stars Like Fleas, Leverage Models) in Brooklyn NY and the duo of Kenny and Ingebritsen have kept the dream alive.
