'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
On December 9 Impatience presents an evening of live exploration from three affiliated acts at the L&SD Studio in Greenpoint.
The Nuke Watch live ensemble is currently jamming on all cylinders, with two releases in the last 12 months (World’s Gone M.A.D. on The Trilogy Tapes/Pepper’s Ghost on Impatience) that provide succinct, potent documents of their invigorating, ineffably warped M.O., and recent performances amongst noise art royalty at Union Pool and an in-studio zoner for the Blurred And Obscured show on WFMU. On December 9 they’ll expand on their run in quartet mode.
Madronas is a fairly new venture from downtown jazz mover Isaiah Barr and artist Ry Fyan. Combining Ry’s dystopian, ghostly conjurings from the modular and Isaiah’s pure levity on wind instruments, the blend is somehow both hard and completely transcendent. Look out for a debut on Impatience in 2025.
Visiting Italian musician, label operator and ethnomusicology Ph.d Luigi Monteanni will join the bill as Neurotica Exotica, his solo project for when he is not making music as half of Babau (LP on Impatience 2025!), running Italian experimental outpost Artetetra, or making field recordings in remote regions of Indonesia. Accordingly, his solo work sounds as if from another world entirely.
Doors 8pm.
Dinner will be available for a purchase of $10
