We are happy to announce our next event featuring three very special artists who are shaping a new wave of the East Coast underground sound. Scotia / @scotia_trax brings her "Transsexual Acid Sound" from the Hudson Valley. Field Exercises / @field_exercises will deliver a midwest-transplanted live electronic set. DJ midwife / @giasou opens the night with her genre-spanning excellence. We will be at @treehouseithaca Sat. May 2 from 8pm until the last dancer! The Forest City Soundsystem Subwoofers have been upgraded with a set of bulletproof Italian bass drivers. We'll try not to shake the house down. $20 at the door / No one turned away for lack of funds!

NYC born, Guatemalan-American, Acid Whore 303 (@yourgraceadrianna_acidwhore303 )delivers high voltage acid techno that is raw, and built for the underground. Formerly performing as Your Grace Adrianna Natalie, she channels a lifelong devotion to sound into a darker, more provocative form. Trained in clarinet, bells, choir, and vocal performance from a young age, she began shaping sound through field recordings before diving into Ableton Live production in 2012. Over time, her studio evolved into a hardware heavy playground centered around acid machines, where driving basslines, haunting melodies, and raw energy collide. Today, Acid Whore 303 performs live and improvisational sets, building evolving rituals from sequencers, drum machines, and synths. Playful, provocative, and deeply personal, the name Acid Whore 303 represents liberation through sound, fearless authenticity, and total surrender to the acid line. For her, acid is not a gimmick. It is a language, a frequency, and a declaration of freedom. Adrianna makes her return to Ithaca with a debut for @forestcitysoundsystem at @treehouseithaca this Friday 4/3 alongside @djhighstone , @knightsynth and @thesunshinegroup for an epic night of live hardware techno excellence and deep vinyl selections. Come through with your curiosity and openess for this deep sonic exploration you can only find at Treehouse.

Next Up for the Forest City Soundsystem Spring Residency at @treehouseithaca Sets by @peterfonda + @fernfigs Sat. March 28. 8pm - Until the last dancer $15 cash or venmo at the door Chris has been hard at work building two more of his custom subwoofers, so we'll have even more low end support for this one. Every gig we try to add something new or tweak things in a slight imperceptible way to make the experience even better. Peter was crucial in helping us install the soundsystem in Treehouse, featuring his well-loved white speakers, originally rescued from some mystery club in Syracuse many years ago. We are super happy to have him back in town to rock with us! The scene is continually lifted up by these small acts of generosity and community. It means so much to have you all showing up and enjoying the space! Thanks, yall! </transmission>

Some pics of the build process of my latest creation. A pair of portable 15" tapped horn subwoofers. The modeling of these was made incredibly simple thanks to Brian Steele's free boxplan spreadsheets. This view shows the horn path and internal bracing. It was a fun build and I learned A LOT. I'm really happy with how everything lined up. Got a few steps left before they are finished. It was a nice weekend project to complete before it gets super cold again. Can't wait to try these out at rabbit run this summer! Thanks to Kimberly for the table saw assistance!

New speaker design by me. These are coaxial 12" monitors using the Dayton audio pcx12. The cabinets are around 1.6 cubic ft. the long slot ports in the cabinets are tuned around 58 hz. These speakers may only reach down to about 90 or 100hz. For use with a subwoofer for sure, but I'm looking forward to biamping them and experimenting with some different Tweeter combos for point source midrange definition and clarity. Thanks to Kimberly for helping me cut everything on her table saw!
