« Limbergino » Limbergino heightens the drama in silent films through the creation of new music for live performances. The group consists of guitarist Jesse Limbacher, keyboardist Dan Schlosberg, and violinist Clara Rubino. The three met while they were graduate students in the Yale School of Music's composition program and formed the trio in 2014. The music is partially improvised within a dreamlike structure, making each live performance unique.
Limbergino provided an ongoing musical installation for the duration of garden-pleasure, an immersive exhibit curated by architects Daniel Glick-Unterman, Ian Donaldson, and Carr Chadwick for the Yale School of Architecture Gallery. Running from December 2019 to February 2020, little pleasure gardens was an open invitation for garden-goers to become musical inhabitants of the garden. Visitors were encouraged to stream music from the garden-pleasure website openly on the speakers of their cell phone during regular gallery hours. The musical environment shifted between different moods and sounds depending on the hour of day that the visitor tuned in. In the summer of 2018, Limbergino took part in a residency at the Avaloch Farm Music Institute. During this week long retreat, they crafting and performed a score for Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1932 horror film Vampyr. This culminated in a fall public screening on the Sessions concert series presented by Amanda + James. In 2017 they collaborated with visual artist Jim Rubino for his installation The Waiting Room: Reenactments from a Life, twice performing a musical companion work during the show's opening night. The performance tracked the progression of over 150 mechanized found objects as they each moved, mostly one by one, mimicking their functions in every day life over the course of the hour. Their previous collaborations include the first showing with English subtitles of Mabuta No Haha (1931) by director Ingaki Hiroshi, co-sponsored by the Council on East Asian Studies at Yale and the National Film Center, National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, as well as a screening of Lois Weber's The Blot (1921) in collaboration with the Yale Film Studies Center. |
« Dan »
In his natural habitat, Dan can be found obsessing over David Lynch films and scheming of ways to make his music more like them. His works have been played by the Dover Quartet, Minnesota Orchestra, and Albany Symphony, and he has garnered rave reviews from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, as well as awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and ASCAP. He is co-Music Director of Heartbeat Opera and core member of the chamber ensemble Cantata Profana.

« Jesse »
Jesse's music has been performed by ensembles such as the Cleveland Chamber Symphony, Fifth House Ensemble and the Purchase Symphony, and can be heard on Cedille Records. Recent commissions include a large scale work for the Megalopolis Saxophone Orchestra, as well as an adaptation of Reinhold Gliere's 3rd Symphony, choreographed by Lar Lubovitch, for the Mikhailovsky Ballet Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. Jesse does his most creative thinking while wearing pocket squares in airport lounges.
« Clara »
In search of the supernatural sensation, Clara's music looks towards superstitious histories and ruined technologies of the near-past. Her songs inhabit extremes: the heavy dance beats of the rabid intoxicating rave, the faultering inconsistency of tones caught on abandoned VHSes, archaic forgotten mean-tone tunings, the rawness of the 90s punk girl discovering herself through screaming into a cassette recorder.
