Come out on Oct 30th for a night of explorations into the unknown

Marcia Bassett (NYC)and JMP (NYC) Electronic sonic events in real time, smudging distinctions between analog, digital, body, and instrument. (https://yewrecordings.bandcamp.com/) (https://stcelfer.bandcamp.com/)

Danishta Rivero (CA) is an improviser, performer, and sound artist based in Oakland, California. She explores the artifacts resulting from heavy processing of the voice and their relationship to its acoustic resonance. (https://www.danishtarivero.com/)

Jenny Gräf (DK/US) performs a set combining self-built electroacoustic instruments, analogue synthesizer, and vocals. Moving from the quiet shimmer of her hand-built speakers to the raw, resonant textures of her metal bow instrument and synth, the set moves through shifting terrain between noise, voice, and electroacoustic sound. This is Gräf’s first West Coast performance in seven years. (https://jennygrafsheppard.com/)

Transient (David R. Molina) will use guitar, vocals, effects pedals, & electronics to improvise over some new song structures, which blend ambient, noise, industrial, shoegaze, and live sampling. (https://davidrmolina.bandcamp.com/)
