'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.    Kamau Amu Patton is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose work examines history and culture through engagement with archives, documents, stories, and sites. Patton’s projects are dialogic and take form as expanded field conversations.  http://kamaupatton.com

Bliss Point presents Five Years Of Bliss: a celebration of the label’s first five years, and an incantation to the next.

Five Years of Bliss will center around live sets from Bliss Point friends and collaborators: SPF 50’s driving low-end psychedelia, Max In The World & Kroba’s resonant, swirling downtempo, Matük’s percussive conjuring of decolonial sonics, and the debut of FEDRA’s live set, a flickering portal to a deconstructed club future. The hour-long performances will be accompanied by a reactive light installation by Waldo Walle, merging to form a glowing, growing circle of faces who make the project what it is.
