Thanks to all who have been attending our rehearsal sessions. Canât wait to see the eventual results of your work! This video is from a moment with Mongoose on Saturday 5/2/2026
Thanks to Geoscience Research Engineer and trombone player Dillon Buhl for participating in our programs over the years !! Here he is showing one of our old @nmassfest shirts to the Thwaites Glacier a few months ago!
The Thwaites Glacier is a massive, highly unstable ice mass in West Antarctica roughly the size of Florida or Britain. It is losing 88 billion tons of ice annually, contributing significantly to global sea-level rise, and threatens a further ~65 cm (over 2 feet) increase if it completely collapses. đ±
Thanks to @uxelite for helping us in administrative capacities this past year đâđŒđčđ!
Check out his recent track in bandcamp !
âAccretion which began with the cover art, a score based on a cellular automata simulation. This score is interpreted for digital piano and synthesizer that translates sonically to notes accumulating in density filling the sonic field; the cacophony allows for observation of resulting patterns and evolving structures. Where entropy seems dominant, order unfolds. Harmony and dissonance are not antagonists but complimentary.
Music for piano, FM synthesizer, and reverbâ

gravemind : The shadow of the guitar amplifier casts an isolated atmosphere equal parts hardcore show and spectral analysis of a cortisol rush. gravemind bends towards the evocation of concrete spraypainted with sweat and saliva as the body processes the atmospheric pressure of amplified sound.
See you Saturday between 6pm and 9pm @cloudtreegallery

Hey! hereâs some more information about artists presenting this coming Saturday at Cloud Tree Studio !
nudo is a psychic handshake/brain trust between Joaquin Tenorio and Eric Hernandez. Hailing from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, MX and Eagle Pass, Texas, USA, respectively. The pair met while living in Austin, TX and have been making music together since 2017. Throughout this time, their sound has journeyed from something like an improvised industrial, to more aleatoric collage passages, and is currently honing in on a more song based, corrido oriented zone, however pried apart. Theyâve integrated bassist Alonso Camacho to round out their sound and are working on their 3rd full length LP.
Thanks so much to @nudotxmx for visiting us this weekend!
