'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
A dulcimer and an electromagnetic field. The rumble of the drum. Slowly, a church bell, the body.
A night of sound and movement, improvisation and experimentation.

Luka Aron is a composer and performer working between Stockholm and Berlin. His music centres on the convergence of synthesis and acoustic instrumentation, folding the force of power electronics into fragile timbral architectures shaped by breath, pressure, and touch. Fresh off the back of a premier at La Biennale di Venezia, Luka will recontextualize his piece “Up in The Bell Tower” alongside dancer Alishanee.
Alishanee Chafe-Hearmon is a dancer and artist based between Berlin and New York. Her work researches the relational language between musician and dancer, specifically in transposing the traditional structures of flamenco into different tools and forms.
Kafilah M is a Brooklyn-born DJ and sound artist playing music under the name Kfeelz. As a member of Misschief Collective and a resident of The Level Party, you can catch her on most weekends playing earworm-y house, techno and electro in the lofts and clubs of NYC. Every month or so, though, she drops into her Lot Radio show, "Swimming with Kfeelz", to take things into the cosmos with deeply resonant spacey jazz, pacific grooves, deep ambient, and experimental yet engaging sounds. Of course that's the zone she'll be in tonight.
