Transparent Productions was started in 1997 as an informal volunteer cooperative by Larry Applebaum, Bobby Hill, Herb Taylor, Thomas Stanley, and Vince Kargatis to organize concerts of creative improvised music in and around Washington DC. Chris Clouden, Sara Donnelly, and Clay Fink became involved later. We continue on today with Bobby, Chris, and Clay. Since our start we have produced almost 400 shows and will continue to make it possible for listeners in and around DC to hear this non-commercial, uncompromising music in interesting spaces.
