'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
Aquasonic is a gathering centered on deep listening and downtempo exploration.
Nema Han transcends genres and boundaries, exhibiting their approach to life and their creative processes through their psychedelic and emotionally expansive selections that are both timeless and playfully curious. They are also part of a collaborative project: DJ SYNCLAIRE, a duo of dedicated diggers known for their fierce synergy of genre melting quest, charged with atemporal gems.
Rafa weaves immersive sonic landscapes, blending a background in classical piano with the raw energy of Brooklyn's underground electronic scene. Guided by emotional connections between sonic worlds over genre constraints, he crafts evocative journeys that invite emotional connection, shifting fluidly through ambient dubby depths, downtempo grooves, and instrumental interludes. With a sensibility for lush textures, their sound drifts between organic and electronic elements, creating a space for healing, introspection, and renewal.
Before stepping into the world of dance music, Echor developed a deep affinity for downtempo and ambient soundscapes. That fascination was sparked by his first encounter with The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld. Through his sets, Echor guides listeners on immersive sonic journeys, creating space for introspection, atmosphere, and dream-like states.
