'vienna', a new release on Small Forms Records w FIM Basel Concert March 2023 Hypersurface is a NYC-based trio consisting of Drew Wesely (guitar/objects), Lester St. Louis (cello), and Carlo Costa (percussion). Hypersurface explores timbral, durational, and formal aspects of improvisation with lenses focused on their instruments' acoustic particularities alongside employing tiles, railroad spikes, ceramic plates and other objects to expand them further. In coming together Carlo, Drew and Lester wanted to create a music that puts emphasis on the erasure of sonic boundaries, embracing the liminal spaces between their instruments, their sounds and the greater sonic environment. Timbre, gesture, duration, particles, layers… a real time tapestry of its own. The trio has given performances throughout the United States and Europe in a diversity of concert settings from clubs to large halls and galleries; with each utilizing the acoustics to follow potent musical pathways.

A night of musical meditations brought to you by Japanese artists Erika Dohi and Ken Shoji & American artists Scott Colberg and Julie Hill.
Erika will perform songs from her recent album "Myth of Tomorrow," a sonic meditation on catastrophe, resilience, and rebirth. The album is a representation of Dohi’s artistic growth and exploration, seamlessly combining elements from dance, jazz, ambient, and classical composition to create transcendent, otherworldly soundscapes.
Julie will perform songs from her 2024 release "glow serene," a slowly unfolding ambient album that opens like a flower in slow motion. Inspired by her grandmother who taught her about meditation and autonoetic consciousness, this set of lovesongs and ambient instrumentals reflects scenes of compassion and bliss.
A conversation. A thread. Fresh laundry. A ceiling fan store.
