5.6.26 7pm - 11pm Light and Sound Design RSVP in bio Sound, scent, texture, and color-performances that feel like they are blossoming, unfolding, and slowly coming into being. Inspired by spring, growth, anemoia, and a new feeling becoming visible. These artists work with material that transforms over time. โ„‚. ๐•Š๐•ก๐•–๐•Ÿ๐•”๐•–๐•ฃ ๐•๐•–๐•™ is a composer and performer whose work spans experimental music, improvisation, and extended instrumental practice. Using violin, electronics, and voice, his performances often explore intensity, duration, and physical presence. His sound moves fluidly between restraint and rupture. ๐•Š๐•’๐•ž๐•’๐•Ÿ๐•ฅ๐•™๐•’ ๐•Š๐•š๐•ž๐•ž๐• ๐•Ÿ๐•ค is a sound collage artist working with audio built from archival material rooted in the ongoing concept of Recycled Listening: material that is curated, processed, re-consumed, and reconstructed into a shared consumption. ๐•๐•–๐•ค๐•ค๐•š๐•”๐•’ โ„๐• ๐•ž๐• ๐•—๐•— Jessica is a music journalist and Music Director at freeform radio station WFMU, where she navigates the full spectrum of recorded sound, from major releases to the overlooked mutant strains of music. Her approach to DJing reflects a fascination with the fringes: post-punk with no charm, minimal synth, lamenting freak folk, bedroom pop ballads, Japanese guitar abuse and primitive field recordings, assembled into restless and unpredictable sets ๐•Š๐•–๐•”๐•ฃ๐•–๐•ฅ ๐”น๐• ๐•ช๐•—๐•ฃ๐•š๐•–๐•Ÿ๐•• The long-running solo project of Ryan A.

super excited about the show at @cobraclubbk next Thursday with @mahoganyintl and @melodiccanvas and DJ @street_fighter_2 keeping it weird! band lineup has shifted slightly under my mercurial rule: iโ€™ll be ripping the ricky 12 along with the casiotone and the triumphant return of the OCTAVE CAT. @wjhagan and @gravityproblems return on leas guitar and bass, and we welcome @mdkarges on live drums pocketed neatly within the casio beats. itโ€™s outta sight, really excited to show you what weโ€™ve been doing! ๐Ÿ“ท of Will on slide 3 from @abcnoriopunkhc benefit by @everything_louder_ #musicisthebest #orangecat

What a feastโ€ฆ and what a night! ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿ’› Six hours of laughter, stories, and plates piled high. Family and friends traveled from near and far โ€” Brooklyn, Kalamazoo, Longview, Portland, Santa Barbara, Salt Lake, Midway, and even Edinburgh! ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ’› Everyone helped create the feast, with a mix of cherished recipes and Whole Foods favorites. The highlight? Amanda and Chris organizing a full timed plan so dinner hit the table at exactly 5 pm. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ”ฅ And yes โ€” the official printed sheet: โ€œA FEAST FOR THE FLOCK โ€” timed with precision and a little bit of sass!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿงก Then Shania did the thing: โ€œLetโ€™s Go Girls!โ€ โž straight into โ€œMan! I Feel Like a Woman!โ€ ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ Thank you Chris for the new tradition โ€” ladies dancing to the table! No photosโ€ฆ dang. Next time! We opened joke gifts (since we wonโ€™t all be together at Christmas), then hit the dessert bar โ€” pies, brownies, pecan bars, plus Scottish tablet, banana bread, and shortbread from our guests. ๐Ÿฐโœจ Back to the dining room for two rounds of competitive LRC โ€” $10 buy-in. Carly won the first, Chris snagged the second. ๐Ÿ’ธ And yes, I begged for photos at the end. I canโ€™t help myselfโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll treasure these memories. ๐Ÿ“ท๐ŸคŽ Grateful for this big, beautiful flock of ours. And thank you, Glenn, for the greatest gift โ€” all of us together. ๐Ÿ‚โœจ #Thanksgiving2025 #FamilyFeast #GratefulHeart #HolidayMagic #LetsGoGirls #FeastForTheFlock
