SECRET DRUM BAND is a noise & percussion ensemble that began as a four-piece at Ladyfest in Olympia, WA in 2006. Lisa Schonberg’s compositions for the ensemble are often place-based explorations of soundscapes, species assemblages, ecological function, and movement. These compositions are carried out & interpreted by an ensemble of 7 percussionists and noise musicians. The ensemble also performs pieces that Schonberg composed with Heather Treadway and Allan Wilson for their trio HITS. SDB currently features Sara Lund [unwound/hungryghost], Allan Wilson [chk chk chk], Heather Treadway [explode into colors], Alison Clarys [tiburones], Anthony Brisson [psychomagic], and Sam Humans [orquestra pacifico tropical], and is often joined by noise musician Eddie Bond [psychomagic] . Treadway designs costumes for the ensemble.
