An improvising trio since 2023, Wilson Shook, Kevin Corcoran, and Aine Nakamura create a atmosphere of heightened concentration, restraint, and purposeful recontextualization of sounds, affects, and relationships with each other and with a particular moment in the world. There is an oblique lyricism, and a non-programmatic ritual intensity to the work, which evokes Butoh, Deep Listening, Artaud's Theater of Cruelty, and a sort of animist ecomusicology. Procession, while an ultimately incomplete document of a practice that is multi-sensory, experiential, and site-specific, nevertheless presents a compelling point of entry into the trio's artistic world.
