'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
sweethearts club presents a night of experimental and cinematic ambient music with Sobolik live, hybrid sets from kk.Shucko, girlskissing.mp3, and Mengze, and a DJ set from nguyendowsXP.
San Francisco-based producer/DJ kk.Shucko revels in composing sets that sew together soft and hard, continuity and catharsis. Their work draws from the luster of both ambient and experimental club to construct fantasy biomes rich in hyperreal sound design. Having performed for Osmosis, Ever Afters, and SutroFM, they play their first hybrid set this Wednesday at LSD.
nguyendowsXP balances delicacy with destruction, slipping between ethereal expanses and kinetic undercurrents with an ear tuned purely to feeling. A sonic shapeshifter who prioritizes emotion over genre, crafting deeply personal, cinematic journeys that resonate as both intimate confessions and expansive dreamscapes. Creating spaces where sentimentality isn't just allowed, it's the core.
girlskissing.mp3 is a multimedia artist from Taiwan, currently based in Brooklyn. Her work displays sonic reflections of her life, tessellated through a lens of saltwater. With frequent homages to her roots as a shrimp breeder on the countryside, as well as honoring her current life as a full-time mother of 3, she constantly strives to create work that treads the line between ecstasy and devastation.
Mengze is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer with a love for shimmery, atmospheric, bouncy and bass-forward music across genres. They are a resident at 8 Ball Radio where they broadcast their show Cloud Nine, and organizer of sweethearts club, a party for sweeties who like dreamy music.![]()
