Susie Ibarra and DreamTime Ensemble perform an album release concert of Perception presented by Le Poisson Rouge at Park Church Coop. Performers include Claudia Acuña-vocals, Jennifer Choi- violin, Yves Dharamraj-cello, Jake Landau- keyboards and guitar, Yuka Honda -electronics and Susie Ibarra – drumset & percussion.  Special guests TBA.

The pieces for this album were inspired by the idea of perception and sensory experiences. Perception allows the ability to take in sensory information, make it into something meaningful and to interact with our environment. It is through all of our senses that we can experience the world. There also isn’t a fixed meaning to anything. The meaning of something can change depending on how a person senses sees, hears, smells, or tastes. And yet, we depend on perception for living and surviving with each interpretation and interaction. Perception is different from reality and it becomes one’s reality. I like very much the quote by Albert Einstein: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
