'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
MIZU joins forces with Lost Horse Cafe for a daring twelve-hour banquet. A feast for the ears, eyes, palette, and mind. Within this durational experiment, musical selections will include a sampler of MIZU’s entire discography (4 | 2 | 3, Forest Scenes, and Distant Intervals), extended droning set, classical arrangements, and more. A cake offering by Lost Horse Cafe will be unveiled over the course of the day and devoured by night. Held within the magical environment of Brooklyn’s best-kept secret space, this will be a feast to remember.
Bios:
“Frequently gorgeous, at times unsettling, and constantly in flux” (Pitchfork), MIZU explores themes of transformation and the infinite possibilities of self through her singular cello playing and daring performing.
Trained as a cellist at Juilliard, her experimental practice sees her transforming self-recorded explorations on her instrument into bold and distinct soundscapes. Her works 4 | 2 | 3, Forest Scenes, and Distant Intervals received critical praise and attention from platforms such as The FADER, NOWNESS Asia, Bandcamp Daily, The New York Times, Pitchfork, New Sounds, Stereogum, and Them.
Lost Horse Cafe (est. 2024) is a Brooklyn based culinary studio founded by designer and artist Tracey Shi. Her culinary practice takes on the form of cakes, often layered and interwoven with deconstructed symbols and motifs inspired by rituals, anthropology of diet culture, and aesthetics of desire and excess.
