Amsterdam’s Tin Men and the Telephone may be as much a continually evolving experience as a musical group, though they are certainly accomplished in musicianship and improvisation. But to call them simply musicians is to do them a fundamental injustice. Any set by the group will involve appeals to the audience to participate in the set via WiFi; there will be found sounds and images and media samples reproducing bizarre details of everyday life responded to in real time by the group. At each intervention, the group will respond, riff a moment, then incorporate the new stimulus into a puzzling and enchanting composition evolving in the moment. A Tin Men and the Telephone set will certainly be an overwhelming multimedia event verging on performance art, but the best description of this group will be the wordlessness with which concertgoers turn to one another when it’s over, trying to figure out how to describe just what they’ve witnessed.
