Recorded Live at H0l0 NYC, May 21 2025

Co/Function is a recurring monthly event series focused on live electronic music & visuals. The audience is invited to experience an exercise in experimental improvisation that is rarely seen in the dance music world. Creators & conductors Taboh & TJ McAu curate a constantly rotating cast of up to 8 musicians to collaborate & improvise live. The participants are sometimes familiar friends, or have perhaps never met. Either way, there is no rehearsal. The individual artists are linked together by a common midi clock, using DJ mixers to blend together synths, drum machines, traditional instruments and their own vocals. Setting up in the center of the main room at H0l0, they navigate with their eyes and ears through a sonic landscape of bleeps, bloops, booms & baps. Riding the waves of euphoric beat, they explore the eternal loop, bringing life to each new song in the moment, along with the movement of the crowd. The nature of the artistic approach is informed by jazz greats & jam bands, all ran through the filter of our shared electronic music language.

The night begins with solo live performances by the featured artists, leading into 1.5 hours of fully improvised jamming by the residents and guests. For the remaining 1.5 hours from 12:30-2 the stage is opened up to welcome any comers to plugin their instruments and equipment for the "open jam" portion of the night. The entire experience is enhanced visually by a rotating cast of VJs and visual artists following a similar philosophy and configuration.

This is a musical experience more akin to The Acid Tests than the format of a modern DJ night. There is no function like the Co/Function.
