Tilted Axes Detroit: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars is back and ready to create new music and movement-based performance throughout the urban landscape and into unexpected venues. Join our team!

Building upon the successful relaunch of Tilted Axes NYC in December 2018, the project returns to the 313 exactly six years to-the-day since its Detroit debut, an event that was captured so well in a Metro Times cover story.

With $3300, your tax-deductible support will enable Tilted Axes Detroit to begin presenting free and public performances with its 18-plus member ensemble with the securing of rehearsal space, the covering of production costs, and the offering of honorariums to its musicians for their time and talent.

The group will mark its return with a trio of performances collectively billed as “Tilted Axes Detroit: New Again” at Third Man Records Cass Corridor (March 20th), The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation (March 23rd), and at the 10th Annual Marche du Nain Rouge (March 24th). Read the complete press release here.

At the full moon equinox kick-off event at Third Man Records, the group will make an important announcement:

"As part of the 27th Annual Concert of Colors in Detroit, MI the weekend of July 12th, 2019, Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars will collaborate with the Michigan Science Center to create a new musical work to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of NASA’s First Manned Lunar Landing. The new music will get its premiere in the planetarium and at various points around the center."

Your support not only ensures that Tilted Axes Detroit will be able to offers its one-of-a-kind performance experience to a wide public, but it will also help us support our secondary mission of science awareness and our common goal toward renewable energy.

Listen to our music: There are some obviously Detroit-inspired tracks on this album like Rivera Court, Techno Tilt, Beaubien Blues, and Corridor 84 + Krimson Coda. The opening track, Shapes 1, was written for and premiered at the 2015 Concert of Colors and performed by Tilted Axes Detroit by the Wolverine Stage. Our album page is here.

Tilted Axes was created by composer/performer and Detroit native Patrick Grant. His works are a synthesis of classical, popular, and world music styles that have found place internationally in concert halls, film, theater, dance, and visual media. His music moves between post-rock and classically-bent post-minimal styles, through Balinese-inspired gamelan and microtonality, to ambient, electronic soundscapes that involve many layers of electro-acoustic instruments. He’s the creator of International Strange Music Day (August 24) and is the inventor of the electric guitar procession.
