'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.

Sound, image, scent, texture, and color-performances that feel like they are blossoming, unfolding, and slowly coming into being. Inspired by spring, growth, anemoia, and a new feeling becoming visible. These artists work with material that transforms over time.
C. Spencer Yeh
C. Spencer Yeh is a composer and performer whose work spans experimental music, improvisation, and extended instrumental practice. Using violin, electronics, and voice, his performances often explore intensity, duration, and physical presence. His sound moves fluidly between restraint and rupture.
Samantha Simmons and Carolyn Funk perform together in an evolving audio/visual collage built from archival material rooted in the ongoing concept of Recycled Listening: material that is curated, processed, re-consumed, and reconstructed into a shared experience.
Very J
A cornerstone of New York’s underground for over a decade, Very J is known for vinyl-only sets that move fluidly between deep ’90s house, tech-leaning rollers, and unexpected detours. Founder of Duty Free Records-New York’s first mobile record shop, his selections are driven by deep digging, intuition, and conversation with the room.
Secret Boyfriend
Secret Boyfriend is the long-running solo project of Ryan A. Martin, blending songs, noise, and performance for over two decades. Released on labels including Blackest Ever Black, Enmossed, and his own Hot Releases, the work balances bleak intimacy with raw electronics. As one listener put it: “Sounds like the music Morrissey would make if he committed suicide and his ghost got a hold of a drum machine.”
TTTTT
Brand new experimental duo dedicated to sonic world-building within and beyond the continuum of ambient music through found sounds and recordings from their daily life.
Elements of scent will be introduced throughout
