There have been many beings who have inspired, guided, and exchanged with me, sonically and spiritually. Many teachers and communities that have held me and continue to, creating a sense of belonging - home - where our souls could rest (and dance) together. Others that opened up portals to new ways of seeing, perceiving, feeling, understanding and those whom shared their gifts, talents and wisdom generously - thank you from the deepest place in my heart: @danablix @carlos_ishikawa @nathan.colinet @richieculver @billdaggs @vflex @bas_ibellini Rebecca Illing @axelkacoutie @zoemarden @manorama9 @carlos.medicine.music Mohammad Mehrabani RM @charlotterey @karimrabik @vanessaruivo @workingwithsatya @satya_wws @joshudoser @sarah_shin_ @therezia Andrew Smith @mieketau @triana_david @duarteuva Selina van Orden @aa__walter @abbzah @jonizhu__ my family of origin @christie.chu & all my friends ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 17LPS + @agentnocturn fam, Bataan Occasionale Group, Boas Festas @jivamuktiyoga_lisbon @manizehrimer @lovesupremeprojects @jivamuktiyoga Turnbull Studio @kimlimstudio and shadow partner, maker of mischief Coyote with two tails. 🐺👁👁👁🐺 Hari Om Tat Sat

Minibar Series n. 4 SATURDAY MAY 16, 2026 from 6.30 PM The Sixth House by Sammy Lee and Sarah Shin @sarah_shin_ feat Bianca Chu @bchubchu and Flora Yin-Wong @floraytw and Francesca Bertolotti-Bailey as herself, choreography and Dramaturgy by Blue Pieta. The Sixth House is a spiral of awakening, descent and transformation that crosses from the world of Mirror. What was once a game becomes a rite, a séance – a play that isn’t a play. Moving between shadow and illumination, grief and recognition, the performance is an invitation into a shared field of attunement where each act becomes an offering: a spell for living, a way of remembering the sky. / Minibar Series n.4 SABATO 16 MAGGIO 2026 dalle ore 18.30 The Sixth House di Sammy Lee e Sarah Shin @sarah_shin_ con Bianca Chu @bchubchu e Flora Yin-Wong @floraytw e Francesca Bertolotti-Bailey (come sé stessa), coreografia e drammaturgia di Blue Pieta. The Sixth House è una spirale di risveglio, discesa e trasformazione che attraversa il mondo di Mirror. Ciò che un tempo era un gioco diventa un rito, una seduta spiritica, uno spettacolo che non è uno spettacolo. Tra ombra e luce, perdita e riconoscimento, la performance invita a entrare in uno spazio condiviso di ascolto e risonanza, dove ogni gesto diventa un’offerta: un incantesimo per abitare la vita, un modo per ritrovare memoria del cielo.

Minibar Series edition n. 4 Saturday May 16, 2026 from 6.30PM during Salone del Libro @salonelibro , Torino We are happy to present The Sixth House by Sammy Lee & Sarah Shin @sarah_shin_ feat. Bianca Chu @bchubchu & Flora Yin-Wong @floraytw , and Francesca Bertolotti-Bailey as herself, choreography and dramaturgy by Blue Pieta. Performance followed by party with a DJ set by @floraytw . A nocturnal conversation takes place in a floating world of smoke, sound and shadow. In this kaleidoscope of memory, history, detritus and potential, four figures gather within a shifting cosmogram, a star of Lakshmi. They mend the tear in the sky to call forth a new sun for this imperfectly perfect universe. *Minibar Series is a night cocktail & variety show, conceived and curated collectively among friends of Paint it Black. / Minibar Series edizione n. 4 Sabato 16 maggio, 2026 dalle ore 18.30 durante il Salone del Libro @salonelibro , Torino Siamo felici di presentare The Sixth House di Sammy Lee e Sarah Shin @sarah_shin_ con Bianca Chu @bchubchu e Flora Yin-Wong @floraytw , e Francesca Bertolotti-Bailey (come sé stessa), coreografia e drammaturgia di Blue Pieta. Una performance seguita da un DJ set di @floraytw . Una conversazione notturna prende forma in un mondo fluttuante di fumo, suono e ombra. In un caleidoscopio di memoria, storia, detriti e possibilità combinatorie, quattro figure si riuniscono all’interno di un cosmogramma in movimento, una stella di Lakshmi. Ricuciono uno strappo nel cielo ed evocano un nuovo sole per questo universo imperfettamente perfetto. *Minibar è una rassegna di spettacoli notturni tra musica, performance, cocktail e varietà, ideata e curata collettivamente dagli amici di Paint it Black.

New Doyenne edition 012 releasing 10th May: Three-Eyed Flame is the debut EP by Alcyoni (@bchubchu ) composed in deep reverence to Śiva, the energetic current and principle in an eternal dance with Śakti. Śiva as Tryambakam is the eponymous Three-Eyed One, who sees beyond illusion through the eyes of Sun, Moon, and Fire – consciousness, awareness, and transformation. Alongside this triadic flame slinks Coyote, another force of liberation from bondage and death. Shapeshifter and threshold-guide, Coyote watches over the crossings between dissolution and return. These late-night improvisations remain unfinished, unending: repetitions within a continuum of vibration that hums imperceptibly through all things. Emerging from acts of devotion, each track is an offering for those drawn to stillness, mystery, and liminal states: an invitation to listen with the whole body. To chant with elevated intention is to return, again and again, to inner dwelling. Alcyoni is the moniker of London-based artist Bianca Chu whose practice weaves sound, research, writing and curation. The name Alcyoni evokes both yoni, the Sanskrit word for womb or source, and Alcyone, the Mother Star of the Pleiades, with whom her natal Moon is in a near-exact conjunction at 29° Taurus. Listening to dreams, the nocturnal, and the unseen as fields of potential liberation and communion, Alcyoni channels these memories through devotional sound, mantra recitation, field recording, and experimental voice into improvised ritual performance. Rooted in the study of Nāda Yoga and non-dual philosophies, her instruments include harmonium, bowls, Electro-Harmonix 45000, and the body to craft sound as invocation. /album/three-eyed-flame Tracklist: 01 - Água Viva (A Heart Opening)  Ábrete Corazón (Ceremonial Song) 02 - Twelfth House  Śiva Guru Mantra (Śaiva tradition) 03 - Coyote’s Song  Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra (Rigveda 7.59.12) 04 - Água Viva / Ábrete Corazón (Ruhail Qaisir (@iakksakkath ) Rework) 05 - Coyote’s Song (Sara Persico (@__sarapersico ) Rework) 06 - Twelfth House (Shahin Entezami (@shahin_entezami ) Rework) Artwork by Sammy Lee Photos by Flora Yin Wong

Live session from the sonic ‘communion’ by Nocturn Resonance x Doyenne Books: Guanyin’s Cave’, recording all voices of the audience and room resonance on 27 Nov 2026 hosted at 17 Little Portland Street, London is up now and signals more to come: /doyennebooks/guanyins-cave-doyenne-x Inspired by the Buddhist goddess, Guanyin who was given a thousand ears to hear prayers - transliteration: ‘the one who perceives all sound and suffering’ - we invited friends and singers to share their voices in honour of the goddess through her mantra chant, room mics and live granular synthesis to play with the uncanny resonance. Thank you all to our friends and singers who entered and convened as part of the cave. All the sounds heard are from live voice, harmonium, Buddha box and percussion only. More from astral twin @bchubchu next week ahead of our quartet show in Turin, Italy on 16th May with @sarah_shin_ and Sammy Lee

R&R (Research + Retreat) @rachamankha Thank you Khun Ong-ard for your generosity, your time, sharing your stories, ideas and experiences from over 50+ years as an architect with me - an artist not of "objects" as you told me but living, breathing environments, spaces that bridge cultures, histories, the natural world and ancestral memories in a deeply personal and understated way. Grateful to have had the chance to visit a few of your projects and to be hosted in one of the most divine places I've ever had the chance to dwell in.
