'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
MSHR improvises with sculptural electronic systems through a sequence of gestural interfaces, unfolding a feedback system between light, sound and the physical interaction of the players with their handmade instruments.

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. For this evening's performance they will be performing their live hardware set that features their custom built synthesizers and other instruments.
OHYUNG
OHYUNG (she/they) is the solo project of musician and film composer Lia Ouyang Rusli. Drawing on ambient soundscapes, harsh noise and euphoric pop, OHYUNG brings together disparate sounds and influences in their music. Her most recent record You Are Always On My Mind was released on March 28th, and was described by Pitchfork as "Strains of the New York noise, rap, and ambient scenes alchemized into an extraordinary burst of pop." As a film composer, she recently scored the A24 film Problemista as well as HBO’s Fantasmas in collaboration with Julio Torres, as well as the upcoming films Sorry Baby and Happyend.
Ka Baird & Charmaine Lee
A first time collaboration(!) between Ka and Charmaine, two of the best at voice, feedback, and live processing.
Charmaine Lee
Charmaine Lee (b. 1991) is an Australian vocalist based in New York. Using the voice, feedback, and live processing, Lee's practice is primarily concerned with risk-taking, playfulness, and improvisation. She has been recognized as “extraordinary” by New Yorker and has been featured in New York Times, Washington Post, and Wire Magazine. As a composer, Lee has collaborated with leading institutions including Kronos Quartet and the Wet Ink Ensemble. Lee is a Jerome Hill Artist Fellow (2025), Emergent Ventures winner (2024), ISSUE Project Room Artist-in-Residence (2019), and a Roulette Van Lier Fellow (2021). Her long-standing collaborators include Conrad Tao, Eric Wubbels, and Ikue Mori (MacArthur Fellow). Lee frequently guest lectures on building a personal language and creative agency at undergraduate and graduate-level composition programs including Columbia University, Princeton University, Stanford, and the New School. Lee serves on the Artistic Advisory Council at ISSUE Project Room and runs a record label, Kou Records, dedicated to artists who have developed idiosyncratic musical languages.
Ka Baird
Ka Baird is a performer, sound artist, musician and composer based in New York City. They are known for their live performances which include extended voice and microphone techniques combined with electronics and psychoacoustic interplay of flutes and other woodwinds. They create a present tense sound with a vigorous, ritualistic delivery that seeks extreme release through physical exertion and psychic extension. They have been a recipient of the Foundation of Contemporary Art's Emergency Grant, a Jerome Foundation Artist-In-Residence at Roulette Intermedium, and is currently a Jerome Hill Artist Fellow through 2023-25.
