Next show in the 2 Blocks Down Series - Bryce Hackford, Minor Characters and a duo with Amye McCarther & Warren Ng ✨ 🎥 ✨ SUNVIEW ACROPOLIS June 6th - 7pm Bryce Hackford will play field rubbings; processed field recordings where the source is in most instances fully removed, leaving only triggered spectral traces to be heard. Minor Characters play a muscle memory music. Three friends with shared collective history in the subterranean spirit, they amassed in 2022 to play consistent gigs in the Hudson Valley, where all 3 members are based. In other realms; Tony Cenicola is the drummer of scuzz trippers Tono Bungay,and slammed with Glenn Branca. Carter Thorton gleam’d on guitar with Enos Slaughter, Izititis, and GNAW, and Matt Mottel co founded the confusion unit Talibam! Duo featuring Warren Ng (Somnambulists) and Amye McCarther (Bleach Corals) playing abstract, sun-damaged free-form guitar improvisations. @iv_act @picturesoftheclouds @minutiaelogue @talibamnyc @cenicola_outtakes @car_ter_ton_ton #sunviewacropolis #2blocksdown #improv #livemusic #freeform

For those who've been following this year, you've probably noticed my sharing a new collaborative project called Somatic Resonance, where my lower compositions enhance @nansekawashima reiki for a small group. We have been very happy with the positive feedback and support for this project. Thank you for your part. I present a recording for you today towards your own rituals, a remote point of access. CDs will ship as soon as they are delivered, ~two weeks. Digital downloads are immediately accessible. Information: Label: CNS Number: CNS004(CD) Artist: Bryce Hackford @iv_act Title: Music For Somatic Resonance Tracklist: 1. Root / Expanse 66:33 Publisher: Qualities Music ASCAP 2025 Recording: L&SD, sunset, August 5 2025 @lightandsounddesign Master: Kevin Ramsay @waynefaure2 Artwork: Light Photo, B Hackford 2025 @iv_act Cover script: Nanse Kawashima @nansekawashima Design: Aaron Anderson @aaron_anderson Description: Somatic Resonance is a collaboration between myself and Nanse Kawashima, where I perform this music for a group reiki session she conducts under red LEDs. The music is composed to be as much felt as heard. This recording is for interested parties to experiment with their own playback rituals. Nanse has had success in the bath. Somatic Resonance typically begins at sunset.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 28 2026, the doors to @lightandsounddesign open at 7:30pm, with our last session of Somatic Resonance of the season at this venue following at 8pm. I am finding the need to process a lot of grief this season. I have found the experience of playing this music while people receive reiki to be very grounding, settling my spirit and allowing my mind to rest and have the strength to do that.

9/9: the next iteration of Somatic Resonance, a collaboration with @nansekawashima combining reiki in a group setting with music. It's been exciting to explore music making in the context of a healing practice. In some ways, healing has always been an important, if indirect, aspect of my personal musical exploration. The music here aims mostly for bodies, and the place where they meet their ears. This venue is one of the best homes we've found for this current formation of Somatic Resonance. The powerful subwoofer and system allow for very dynamic music; the feeling in this room is very particular and away. Reservations are limited to 20 people for the experience, which can be made upstairs. We will only offer this once more here this year. Please bring a mat, blanket, pillow or whatever will make you comfortable lying on the floor. Supplies at the venue are limited and cannot be guaranteed.

Somatic Resonance is back in August! The first session of the month will take place at Light & Sound Design in Greenpoint Brooklyn(secret location) on Tuesday, August 5th, 2025. This is a very special space: an old loft-style room equipped with a 4-point modified Klipschorn system paired with Mark Levinson amplifiers and 1 point subwoofer. This setup is perfectly aligned with Somatic Resonance, which focuses on low-frequency resonance that you not only hear but also feel in and on your body. Sounds by @iv_act accompanied by Reiki healing, from yours truly. We will be serving free barley tea (aka mugicha in Japanese) to our guests. Barley tea has many benefits but mainly enjoyed as a summer drink that is both cooling and grounding. Great for restful sleep, anxiety, aids digestion, circulation, and immunity. ***If you plan to attend, please bring your own yoga mat or blanket to lie on.*** The price range is $30–$50. You can read more about Somatic Resonance and book your spot in the link in bio.
