'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

Infinite Flirt, conceived by Cielo Felix-Hernandez and Ciela Gargiulo, returns after its first manifestation at Body Hack Nonstop outdoors in the backyard of Nowadays.

This second iteration gathers a myriad of queer & trans artists, whose eclectic range of practices encompass the myriad of human experience.

Born and raised in Miami, GATERROR wields breaks, chops and kicks with surgical ferocity. Her best friend and label-mate by way of 909 Worldwide, Chainwallet, is herself, unmatched in her frenetic hardware-driven rhythmic spirals. Together they face off in VERSUS, channeling the sonics and physicality of violence.

Sonic experimenter, soundscaper and brilliant cellist Rohana converges in VERSUS with vocalist, writer and musician Samantha Riott.

Andy Loebs, multi-instrumentalist and composer, traverses shiny surfaces, gooey textures, and playful MIDI-digital fusion to create surreal atmospheres where synthetic and organic forms melt together.

5uarm (pronounced five A.M.) is the former conceptual temporary grouping of Kwami Winfield, Sim and Ciela "Sweet" Gargiulo. 5uarm had expanded and contracted into various kinetic forms- often rooted in a sense of play. 495 days after their disbanding (notably 5 short of 500). They reconvene for the first time since, for the opening ceremony of this night.

(note: "VERSUS" is a conceptual series that began in 2018 at H0L0, channeling the spirit of wrestling and fighting games into the real, pitting solo artists against each other in physicality and live improvisation, exploring the sonic aesthetics of violence, and often, loss.)
