'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
Endless Spill is a hyper-emotional gathering we’ve put together to celebrate some of our favorite musicians up close and at their weird best. We are going to make the studio as intimate as possible so that we ravers can access and explore an expanded emotional spectrum, because honestly, clubbing ruined concerts for us. Once you’ve become accustomed to the bass in your bones, it’s hard to go back to watching people perform and not respond in kind – after you let your freak out long enough, it’s hard to put it back in the closet. Now we only want to hear music in the middle of the dancefloor, as it’s the best place to hear it: to be inside of the sound, to be in love with it, and for it to fill us.
This edition falls on Valentine’s Day, so we’re going to make the night the most romantic possible, not only in terms of romantic love, but also in terms of our yearning for a world in the way that we want it: one that fuses the organic and the futuristic, one that centers care, tenderness, and vulnerability, and uses the transcendent power of art for communal transformation.
We’ve built the night around the Seattle duo Sage, whose wilting downtempo music combines ambient, dream pop, half-time, and other searching electronic vocabularies to conjure worlds of sublime nature. The music is precise and beautiful, and if you close your eyes you can be transported from the dance floor to the humid forest floor and back again. This is their NYC debut, and they’ve come all the way across the country to share this magic with us.
Opening the night will be the duo of Música de Tensão. Steeped in the music of Northeastern Brazil and the unbridled expression of Rock, they build soundscapes out of the experimental traditions of the South American continent that reach into the past, future, and the depths of the mind.
Kroba is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and DJ who is equally adept in full band improvisations, as a collaborator bringing warmth and musical intricacy to hardware trances, and as a solo artist combining postbop lattices of notes with ambient electronics to create lush gardens of feeling inside of us. His set will bring the intense physicality of the saxophone and its amplified breath into a new century of needs, serenading the lovers present.
DJ Synclaire, the duo of Nema Hän and aka-Sol, will close the evening, pulling from their broad knowledge of decades of electronic psychedelia to give us the real heart openers from across many continents. Their vinyl wizardry is defined by their sure touch, bending time and pitch into otherworldly sounds via the human hand, and leaving their soulful personal mark on cosmic wanderings into love and the self. They are true rave spirits who will take us home.
Doors are at 7 with a deep listening session to get you settled, and high vibrational vegetarian food will be available to purchase to set you right for the night. Come early, with dreams and yearnings, and we will go as long as you are with us.

PS: To celebrate this special occasion, Nema designed the flyer, but also a beautiful limited edition oversized long sleeve T-shirt. The batch is small and we’ll be selling them that night for $50. Come early and cop one before they are all gone!
