'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
The sun is out, spring is emerging in full force, and the time is right to return to Light & Sound Design for another intimate daytime SLINK gathering. The first iteration of our residency back in February was a dream, combining patient live sets and heavier dancefloor moments for an all day affair. This time, we're going for an afternoon through evening hang, featuring focused solo DJ sets from residents and a special closing set from Lovie.
We first encountered Lovie's considered, deeply researched, and patient selections at Sustain Release last year and instantly knew she would be perfect for a SLINK event. Her weekly "summer school radio" show on The Lot Radio is essential home listening, and her ability to convey a soulful undercurrent throughout a multitude of genres is something special to behold. We are so excited to have her take us through golden hour into sunset.
Instead of our usual B4Bs, we've decided to each choose a specific theme for our resident sets. K Wata will open things up by exploring the modern classical and jazz adjacent corners of his collection (think ECM continuum). Enayet is back from Bangladesh, and will be nodding to his roots as a drummer with a dive into intersections between rock instrumentation and South Asian micro scenes.
rrao is dedicating a set to Progressive Form records (an influential Japanese electronica and glitch label that is a veritable gold mine of strange, glitchy, and groovy soundscapes), combining music from the label and tracks within the same lineage. Simisea will cap off the evening with a 100% Villalobos set, exclusively playing tracks from the labyrinthine back catalog of the Chilean maestro, guaranteed to sound delicious on those beloved Klipsch. Minimal heads rejoice!
Set Times:
1:00-2:30 PM: K Wata
2:30-4:00 PM: Enayet
4:00-5:30: rrao
