Soundcheck
Polygraph Lounge (Julie Marden)
Musical Mirth Making
Wednesday, January 19, 2005
The virtuosic slapstick duo known as Polygraph Lounge blend their talents to form a relentless and hyperactive comedic and aural spectacle. With an upcoming gig at Joe’s Pub, they visit Soundcheck today to explain themselves. And Executive Director of Columbia University’s Miller Theater, George Steel, stops by to introduce us to the richand dare we say, sexychoral works of 16th century composer Thomas Tallis, who would have turned 500 this year. Under Steel’s leadership, the Miller Theater has evolved into one of the most bracing venues for contemporary classical music in the city, but not to be overlooked is its championing of early music.
