| Alex Chechile (Providence, RI) - at Harvestworks |
Monday 24 |
| Using findings from his psychoacoustic research on the perception of spectrally complex difference tones, Alex Chechile
will perform works from his On the Sensations of Tone series; the pieces explore expanded layers of spatial depth created
by tones that are generated by the ear and appear localized within the head; the multichannel works will employ modular
synthesizers and Chechile’s custom Ear Tone Toolbox, and the concert will be accompanied by an artist/research talk on
difference tones and otoacoustic emissions - alexchechile.com |

| Thessia Machado & Ranjit Bhatnagar (NYC) - at Various/Artists | Thursday 27 |
| From an assortment of mechanical, acoustic, organic, and sometimes electronic sound-making objects, Bhatnagar and
Machado tease out loops, drones, voices, and textures in an unpredictable landscape; misusers of tools & devices,
senses-focused, the duo sings the unsung song of the objects - thessiamachado.com - moonmilk.com | |
| Eric Letourneau (Montreal, Canada) - at Various/Artists | Friday 28 |
| Eric Létourneau utilizes his queer body to interweave oblique ways of combining experimental music and performance art;
he is interested in queer phenomenology as a way of apprehending research-creation; the sound performance Joncs
cagettes bassesterres incorporates minimalist elements that open up a fantasmatic world in which traditional dialectical
models are blurred in favor of a transductive aesthetic through sound and action; with Brian McCorkle, Yvette Massoudi,
and Katherine Liberovskaya - systememinuit.com |

MV Carbon (NYC) - at Zürcher Gallery |
Monday 31 |
| Prioritizing sound exploration over traditional musical structures, rhythm and emotion weave and unravel as dense
orchestrations magnify the ritual embedded within music; chaotic moments of sonic trajectory are leveled with contrasting
elements of pure tone; percussive backgrounds are created with hand made instruments as electric cello is processed
through a meticulous chain of effects; structure is established then shifts, allowing sound to metamorphosize into space - mvcarbon.com |
