Hailing from the New York avant-garde music scene\, their music floats between musical poetry\, composition and improvisation. They’ve performed with the likes of Trevor Dunn \, This Will Destroy You\, Shara Nova\, and Post Malone to name a few. \nHaving just recorded their debut album “Wake” in NYC with engineer Randall Dunn \, this evening performance hosted by IMSS marks the project’s first engagement in Chicago. They will be joined by Chicago’s own experimental musicians Anna Johnson and D. Jean-Baptiste\, each performing a set of original music. \n\n\n\nDuo Alex Koi x Kirin McElwain perform original music for voice\, cello and modular synthesizer. Hailing from the New York avant-garde music scene\, their music floats between musical poetry\, composition and improvisation. For fans of Laurie Anderson\, Arthur Russell\, and Meredith Monk. \n\n\n\nD Jean-Baptiste is an electro-acoustic musician blending samples\, structured songwriting\, and improvisation cohesively and intentionally. \n\n\n\nAnna Johnson’s hypnotic\, devotional sonic landscapes are drawn from explorations of voice and electroacoustic instrumentation. Her sound weaves medieval-influenced vocal melodies\, chants\, and choral layering with synthesizer atmospheres\, heavy drone textures\, and forays into experimental pop. She relies on improvisation\, with a meandering\, fluid sense of embodied time.
