'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
For this audiovisual performance, MSHR has designed a digital system that links visual and sonic parameters using open-source software. The duo improvises with the system via a handmade sculptural interface to unfold a series of compositions for video projection and four-channel sound. The result is a kind of live cinema in which visual and sonic shapes mutate through mutual interaction, guided by the players.

MSHR
MSHR is an art collective that collaboratively builds and explores sculptural electronic systems. Their performances and installations integrate electrical signals and human presence, weaving dense networks of causality to form audiovisual environments that babble with life-like current. They explore intuitive and technical gradients between sonic and sculptural forms, using analog circuitry and open-source software to sculpt mutually resonant hyperobjects. MSHR was founded by Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper in 2011 in Portland, Oregon. The name MSHR is a modular acronym designed to hold varied ideas over time. It can be pronounced as an acronym or like one who meshes. They will present their live Cinema Set "Network Entity."
Reality Orp (Paloma Kop and Andrei Jay)
REALITY ORP is the collaborative performance project of audiovisual artists Paloma Kop and Andrei Jay. Working with video feedback, synthesizers, liquids, and various experimental techniques, their performances range from drippy ambient soundscapes to percussive, chaotic IDM. Their dynamic generative visuals evoke natural patterns and mathematical structures. The pair previously ran a Brooklyn-based video art space called Phase Space, and have performed and taught workshops across the US. They are now based in New Haven, CT.
